つーか、and っつうか, have also been used. It is far less in formal than the original.

I've heard and seen つーか、っつうか、and a some others used with this. I think these two listed are more casual.

The first sentence’s English translation is really awkward. Maybe its better say something to the effect of, “Rather than not needing a brand name bag, I’m just not interested (in getting one).
