Are your friends and family members into LV handbags like you are?

My best friend and I are both handbag fanatics. We are constantly texting each other updated wish lists, going to "try on" bags together (and her mom comes along too - she is also a handbag lover and is so fun to look at things with), and basically just obsessing together. My family is not at all into luxury but appreciates that it's what I love - I've been gifted several bags from my parents for various occasions - mostly graduations and milestone birthdays. I don't have any other friends that are as into luxury handbags as I am so I tend to keep my obsessing/excitement over new items to my best friend and her mom. We even have a group chat going in which makes it fun. And plus I read here all the time, which helps me know I'm not alone in this! :)
 
My parents don't get it..my mom went to the store with me one time and saw how much I paid for vuitton and she was shocked she's like a stingy cheapskate like you paid that much for a bag!? My dad heard I wanna buy more lv's and he's like WHAT!? How many do you have, why do you need so many (when I only have a few)!? Couple of cousins/friends own luxury goods..but I wouldn't say they're into it like me..like I'm actually thinking of getting doubles of 1 item because of how much I like them..matter of fact it shocked me too--I didn't even know how addicted I would become until after my first purchase..
 
Nope, my parents think it’s a waste of $. I moved away from my small city where you very rarely see LV, but none of my friends probably even know how much my bags cost. I think most of my friends would be in shock over what I have spent on my H, Chanel or LV bags.

My DH has been ok with the splurges since we always had the cash to pay for them.

I have a nice assortment of LV, H and Chanel, so I’ve stepped away from buying in order to pay off my new mortgage super quick.

There hasn’t been anything much that I have wanted lately. I may splurge once this year though. [emoji6]
