Re: What’s the most $$ you would spend on a handbag?

Bags have always been my thing.  I love the idea of something holding my stuff and did as a little girl, using purses to hold my various dolls with their little pillows and blankets.. 

 

My taste for handbags elevated as I got older and eventually I fell in love with Louis Vuitton, the company, the bags, everything..  At one point I was able to buy quite a few Limited Edition pieces and when I felt I was done I did exceptionally well reselling them.  This market lasted from approximately '05 to about '09 where I'd even get more than I paid.  They still do well on eBay.   I kept two of my favorite bags, a vintage Petit Noe and a more recent bag, Louis Vuitton GM Tulum.  The rest sold but my actual favorites are Dooneys because the interiors are more convenient to use.  The most I think I've spent on a bag was around $2700.  The one bag I regret not buying, Louis Vuitton Cube..... LOL, can't own them all!  Now, they don 't have the personal cache' they used to have but I still love the idea of a bag holding my stuff....

$300 to $400 and I'd pay a lot more for a true designer bag if I found a "must have"! I love quality bags and am continully looking at them even as I'm in my mid-70s and have more bags than I need!

I have spent $400 to $500. I just ordered a Michael Kors Emilia Large Pebbled Leather Tote Bag on sale in pale blue for $119 with free shipping. The list price is $558. Other colors are available for a higher price.

$200 is my limit in purchasing a purse.  I have bought some nice Dooney and Bourke and White Mountain purses for that amount.

Depends on the bag.

Re: What’s the most $$ you would spend on a handbag?

I would probably pay whatever, if I really wanted the bag.  I think my most expensive one is under $3k.  Which I know is ridiculous.  LOL. 

 

However, I only buy what I can afford.  I don't run up my credit cards... I only buy what I can pay for when the bill comes.  This has been a good rule of thumb for me.

If I love it and want it I will spend any amount.

Re: What’s the most $$ you would spend on a handbag?

For the longest time. I would not spend over $250 but QVC showed a Dooney and Bourke that I fell in love with and after tax and shipping. It's costing me a little over $400. 

 

Oh well, I work hard, and I have not purchased anything from QVC this year, so I am good.
