Wish I had that much money to spend on a handbag.

@smoochy Do we "need" most of our purses? Not really. But if you want it, get it. Sometimes what we need is to treat ourselves!

"Need" is never an issue when shopping on the Q.

The only things to ask are:

Yes, I want it, but do I really, really, like/love it?

Will I get enough use of it to make it worth my purchase?

Can I afford it, and is the price acceptable for the value?

Do I already own something similar ? (Yes, sometimes I am attracted to items that are just like something I already own!)

Is there anything else I would rather spend my money on than this item? (for example, saving up for jewelry!)

BTW, many women spend thousands of handbags, so do not pay any attention to naysayers regarding price. The bag is leather, which can be more costly.

Whatever you decide, enjoy!

My only issue with Patricia Nash bags is that they are heavy, I bought one and have never used it. I go for lighter bags now. It is very pretty and if you want it go for it!

@smoochy You buy stuff because you NEED it? Really?

@smoochy - Yes! Yes! You! Do! I am carrying the leaves right now. It is the perfect size. I wish the crossbody strap was a bit longer. I won't be able to use it when I finally break down and get a coat out. At 5'9" it will much too short for me.

@Sooner "need" is such a relative word, haha

When the time comes that I can't afford this type of indulgence, I will willingly reduce my spending accordingly. Right now I'm blessed.

It's very cute and I can see it being a bit irresistible! Will it be comfortable to carry?

I purchased a Patricia Nash bag a few years ago that is not practical to carry. However I knew that when I purchased it.

It's in the shape of an old fashioned makeup travel case....sort of box like. The body is in the European map leather and the top is in brown leather. When you open the lid there is a mirror.

I don't use it as a bag but instead I have it sitting on a dresser in the bedroom as decor and I store reading glasses in it.

I love it for what I'm using it for!

ETA: I took a good look at the bag and it is the same bag (different colors and crossboday strap) that HSN was selling a few weeks ago as a TS! I purchased the red and it is so cute!

It will be comfortable and I think you should go for it!

I wish I had all the money back that I blew on expensive handbags.

Now, I mostly use nylon crossbody bags in black -- or small backpacks.

I also have a few slings that I got on Amazon.

Guys. To be honest I will need to sell a bag to justify this purchase. Will put my D &B pebble leather tote on Marketplace tonight. Someone will get a fabulous deal.
the PN bag is a sweet spot size for me. Thank you @haddon9 for sharing your experience. You probably have the nicest storage case of anyone! And for all who responded, yay or nay. 😊

@Daisy Sunflower

I'm with you! While I was working, there was a "handbag hierarchy"...a real competiton of WHO had the most D&B purses, and one woman even sported an LV.

I carried a Baggallini (from a discount store), and even threw it in the washer to "spruce it up"... di

I just bought this last week and going back today. I got cereluan blue and it is just beautiful and very cute and not heavy. However, I wore it out yesterday and it is just too small. I had a small wallet, keys, lipstick and calendar and it was tight. The slip pockets on outside are tight so you have to push in the phone or other items. The body of the purse is just beautiful but I felt the straps were cheaply made and not soft. I really wanted it to work but go so irritated that if I took out my wallet I had to work at putting in back. I don't have a lot patience so I did not want to work with the purse.

@smoochy WILL YOU PUT THIS ON EASY PAY?

we had an unexpected $900 expense last night so a new purse is no longer an option.
