Re: Ladies... what is the absolute most $$$ you would spend...

I would spend about $500, but my problem is that I love it for 3 or 4 months and then I am done with it and it gets tossed in the closet w/ all the others. So for that reason, I can't justify ME spending more than $100 for my tendancies of 'going on to the next'. I hardly use my Coach bag that I just 'had to have'.

Once I bought Tommy Hilfiger (sp?) sandels/flip flops at L&T for about $50 (flip flops!!!), and I have to say I wore them until they died (3 seasons?) and I wish I bought 3 pairs of them --that is the only item I cherished/loved and used until died and I would have spent $$$$ more money to just get another pair.

The most I have spent is $550, but I would say up to $800. In fact, there are a few I am eyeing right now. DH thinks I am nuts!

If I'm buying it for myself - I would never spend more than $100... I'm just not a bag fanatic... but if DH was buying it, I'd let him spend up to $400.

The most I ever spent was $300 on a Kate Spade. I have got some very nice expensive bags as gifts, but now I wouldn't spend more than $200 myself.

Unfortunately for my DH, I have no limit. Chat Icon I WILL own a Birkin one day, so obviously $10K+ doesn't seem all that unreasonable to me.




I have to agree- the most I have spent to date is $1000- but there is no max amount

if my husband will let me get it- I am getting it

Whoa....I can't believe how much some people would spend Chat Icon. Honestly, I wouldn't spend more than $50. I have no need for a designer bag. I rarely even carry a purse any more.

Wow, I'm a cheap-o! I never spend more than $50-$100. I don't know, I just never got into the handbag phenomenon. I just (GASP!) don't get it...



I am similar.

DH has bought me a nice leather work tote and a Coach bag but even so as gifts - I was like no more than $200. I don't get spending that much on a bag.

Probably $50 for me. I'm really hard on my bags so an expensive one isn't a good idea for me.

I never spend a lot on watches, sunglasses or handbags because I ruin them!!



Same here.
Plus, I can't imagine spending what some of these bags cost.Chat Icon



I am the same way. I abuse my bags and sunglasses. I could never spend more than 50.00.

Re: Ladies... what is the absolute most $$$ you would spend...

The fact that I'm hard on them and I use them to death makes me more inclined to spend good $$. I use a Michael Kors tote as a schoolbag, and you can't imagine the abuse this thing has taken, and it's so well made it stands up to it. I would have gone through 3 or 4 cheaper bags by now!

for a handbag? Whatever designer you like. My DH thinks I'm crazy for what I want to spend so I thought I'd ask all of you. Thanks!



The only reason that I have my 2 wonderful Coach bags is because other people bought them for me as gifts. I could personally NEVER spend more than $50 on a handbag for myself, and even $50 is a bit much. I usually buy the ones at target for $12.99! Chat Icon

I LOVE my Coach bags, and a very grateful that I have such wonderful friends to chip in and get them for my birthdays! I have 1 brown and 1 black, and I haven't bought a handbag on my own since I got these. I'd rather save my money for more important things.

You might want to look at Kate Spade, too. Chat Icon They are washable and not very heavy.

can someone explain the willingness to spend as much as a car on a purse?Chat Icon



If she has the money to spend 10 grand on a pocketbook, Im sure she isnt driving a Kia. (No offense to Kia owners).

And a good pocketbook is worth the money.

Understand now?




a good pocketbook isn't worth THAT much money!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I have $25 bags that have lasted forever.

I wouldn't spend more than $100. My DH bought me a Mulberry bag - I have no idea how much he spent. I don't even want to know, I get nervous just using it!!! And yes, it does end up on the floor under my desk most of the time, as some one else said.

I would never spend more than $200 max on a bag. Any bags that I have over that amount were gifts. DH bought me a Marc Jacobs bag for christmas and I returned it! I could not walk around with a $1000+ bag. I'd be afraid to carry it on my arm Chat Icon

Re: Ladies... what is the absolute most $$$ you would spend...

Handbags are my weakness too, but I will only go as far as a Coach tote for $498 with the matching wallet for $198... no more.. I cannot afford Louis Vuitton or anything like that. Fortunately, Coach is my favorite!
