I can't speak for everyone, but I love a cotton purse. I used to buy Vera Bradley when I lived in Seattle. The people who make the Bow-Tucks and offer them for sale have a wider range of fabrics, so more choices for me. I haven't made any, but I have bought several. The ones I purchased here are so beautifully made and I think it is just more special that it was hand made and I know the "artist." The price is comparable to or less than the VB bags I used to buy and these are so much prettier. That's why I'm excited about them. I hope that helps. Oh, and the pockets - THE POCKETS - they are wonderful. Never had a bag with such convenience inside. :-) BTW, I'm never offended by a question. Your question made me think about just why I do like them so much - besides the fact that I didn't make my own. I would never get to it. LOL
