          • I have never had a good bag. My handbags always last me one or two seasons before a zipper breaks, the lining tears, or a strap breaks. Should I make the investment? I have the money. I have just never spent more than $50 on a bag.

            • it took me a long time to spend that much, but you do (generally) get better quality and durability with the price. just don't buy something too too trendy that will be out of style in a year.

              • well I just took my MIL 1500 Gucci tote to gucci because the strapped was was cracking. The bag was 4 years old and they wanted to charge me $400 to replace all the straps (you have to replace them all or they won't match). So you tell me, was it worth it?

        • How will knowing what people spent and what brand they purchased help you decide if you need a new handbag?

          • I am trying to decide if it is worth the $$ to get a designer bag. For everyday use. Just wondering what others think. That's all.

            • Okay then, how is knowing what others spent and what brand they got going to help you decide if it's worth the money to get a designer bag? That makes no sense? Do you have the money? Were you one of those girls that just copied what everyone else wore in high school?

        • OP: I have never cared either. Just wondering if it is worth the investment instead of buying one inexpensive bag each season.

    • $75 Kenneth cole on sale last yr. My first bag in over 20yrs (no joke). Not really a handbag type, find small backpack or tote more practicle for my life.

    • DH bought me a Ferragamo bag - think it was $950. Totally worth it. I'm gearing up to buy a new bag soon but will probably buy something a little more inexpensive (Coach, Kooba, etc.)

    • $500 Coach because I love their quality. Just be honest with how you use the handbag. I personally don't anything that's too heavy, e.g. Their Legacy line is very popular, but it's way too heavy for everyday use. Ditto for any bag that has a lot of hardware. If I'm carrying kid stuff (water, snacks, etc.) I won't use the Coach bag and will opt instead for a simple tote. If you have time to shop and want to save money, you can find good deals at T.J. Maxx and Century 21 but it takes patience.

      • I still love my orange leather Prada "doctor's" bag that I got at Sak's in 2004 - it was a lot of money but worth it. The quality and hardware make it striking and I can wear it every day.

    • Around $2500 back in August. It was a new fall season Prada bag that matched a Prada dress I bought. I earn it, I spend it. But I haven't purchased one since then which is the longest I've gone without buying a bag. Don't miss the shopping at all though.

      • i hate it when people are preachy, but i must say please don't buy knock offs. i read an article not too long ago that went into detail on how knock offs are breaking all kinds of child labor laws in china. children are forced, actually strapped down, to make a fake bags. please don't buy them

          • "sorry, don't care"... nice. This thread went from seeming almost campy to me, it was so ridiculous, to being peppered with the kind of wealthy and totally irresponsible women such as yourself who make me question the uselessness of giving a shit about the world at all.

    • $1800 YSL - 2 last year...and i love them, worth it, i use them daily...having said that, it's a personal choice, and those who chose to indulge are not committing a crime, and those who don't care are also doing nothing wrong

    • About $700, navy leather Hogan bag at the Hogan outlet just outside of Florence, Italy in September. Impulse purchase and not completely sure I made the right choice but feel guilty buying something else so soon after spending the $. Marc by Marc Jacobs makes nice mid-range leather bags ($400-600).
