gold purse/bag?

Hi
I am looking for a gold purse/bag but I don't want to spend many
hundreds of dollars on it (ie not Marc Jacobs or Prada or LV ;)
I want it to not look too lady–like, but not as rock–starry as the
balenciaga style, either.
Any help is appreciated :)

Have you even been to a store to see what is offered??? Have you
checked any online sites???? You have the resources in front of you to
check quickly. Probably you will get many recommendations here, but
you need to do a little research on your own as you will be the person
carrying this bag/purse. Someone else's taste might not be to your
liking and you have to make the ultimate decision.

Do you know what style you want? Clutch, satchel, hobo...
Neiman Marcus has a whole page devoted to metallics. Maybe you could
drool over the $1000+ ones there, decide what sort of style you like,
and then look for a reasonably priced alternative?
One of those "top ten" type fashion TV shows named metallic bags and
shoes as one of the must–haves for Spring, so you're right on track!

What I've liked that I've seen in gold is the Trigger bag, and the LV
Theda but I don't want to spend that much on a trend. Everything else
I've seen is too ladylike (Kate spade, Whiting and Davis, etc – checked
Zappos and Ebags and the Saks and Neiman's sites). I figured maybe
someone else had seen something. I haven't seen any in stores yet, but
I've only looked in Nordstrom, Barneys, Neiman and Saks.

I recently bought a medium sized gold leather bag from Express. It's
somewhat Marc Jacobs–ish with buckles down the front, a top double zipper
and double handles. I wouldn't call it lady like or rock–star, so I think
it might be what you're looking for. This one is a handheld bag, but it
fits snugly over my shoulders. I love it!! Yes, pricey at nearly $140
(expensive for Express!), but a great splurge.

Sorry to respond to my own post, but I have to clarify that it's more of a
champagne–gold, rather than a true gold. It's on the cool–toned side and
it's gorgeous!

Having no idea of the style you prefer, here are a few that looked
interesting to me, but there are 636 more under women's accessories/handbags
if you have the time!! :)

There's a cute (kinda funky) gold hobo on LoopNYC.com. It's the
Diamond Ripstop Keiko Hobo. It may be a bit too rock star, but it's
only $40 (as compared to the $$$ that other bags are going for!).

I just looked on their web site – I can SORT of see it in one of the
pictures :) It looks good, like it might fit the bill. Is it leather?

Saw a cute one on bananarepublic.com, it's a mini shoulder bag.

Yes, it's a very soft leather. It also comes in silver.
