Re: What's the most you've spent on a handbag?

Around $600 for one that my DH surprised me with. It's really nice and 7 years later I still use it frequently. Other than that, I wouldn't spend more than maybe $200, and even then I would consider that pretty expensive.

Shoes-- outside of my Uggs that I've had for 4 years and are still awesome, I try to stay under $100 for shoes, or $150 for boots. Again, those are my maximum numbers, and generally I try to look for a better deal than that.

I am not into designer names AT ALL.

Re: What's the most you've spent on a handbag?

About $300. Years ago on a coach bag that I wanted.

If i had over 1K to spend on myself, it would be on clothes!! I can't justify it for a bag but prob b/c I'm not a huge "bag" person. I can get so much clothing or the price of one designer bag!!

DH has bought me a couple of LV's and a wallet...I love them but think it is insane to spend that much on them at the same time.

$200 at the dooney outlet, I can't see spending more than that. It would be frivolous for me...

Re: What's the most you've spent on a handbag?

I have 2 LV bags that were between $1200 and $1500. At the time my husband and I were making the same money we are now but living in a small house with very few bills. It didn't hurt us at all to spend the money. Since then we have built a bigger house have more bills and plan to have children soon. I can't bring myself to spend more than $250 on anything new.

I spent it when I could. I would never struggle just to have something like a designer bag. It bothers the heck out of me to listen to people complain about money but then they have to have high end stuff...

The most expensive in my collection 4000
I baby it like crazy, I collect handbags and treat them with so much care.

I am obsessed with handbags, anyone who knows me can testify to that.

Same, my Bal was over 2K after tax, but it was a "present" from DH.

I won't spend 1K+ on any one item without consulting with my DH first, regardless of what it is.

ETA: I beat the crap out of most of my bags. Chat Icon I don't think twice about tossing them on the floor of my truck or anywhere for that matter. Chat Icon That's why I like my Chloes and B Bags...they take a beating very well and still look great! Chat Icon

I've never bought myself a bag.

DH has bought me a few coach bags, I THINK the most expensive was $400ish because it was a messenger bag.

Re: What's the most you've spent on a handbag?

Pre-kids around $1000- I would treat myself to a new bag each year. Now I can't bring myself to spend that type of money on myself. So I just rotate what I have.
