Does anybody else have friends/family who REFUSE to acknowledge that designer handbags (or clothes...or shoes...) are, on the whole, better quality than cheap ones? I have a friend who maintains that you can get just as 'nice' a bag for £10 as for £500 because (and I quote) 'paying more doesn't mean it's better made'. Erm actually yes it does!! I know there is a big mark-up on designer goods, but I also know that my Dior and Ferragamo bags are beautiful leather and wonderfully finished, and you just don't get that kind of quality on the high street!
