Do you feel guilty about money spent on designer bags?

[htbabe61]

No, I dont feel guilty. The reason is because I dont spend a fortune on bags, or anything for that matter. I did just get 2 Coach bags within a couple of weeks of each other. Its not something I do often at all.
But, Ive been sick of going thru cheap bags, so Ive done some research and learned that I would really be Saving $$ if I spent more on a Coach bag or two verses buying multiple bags that were not put together as well as a loyal name brand.
So no, theres no guilt at all. I dont spend much on myself anyways, so really theres no reason to feel anything but happy and proud that I know I have 2 bags that will end up outlasting any bags Ive ever had.

I really think that if anyone feels guilty about a purchase then that's a sign to reconsider.

I've never felt guilty about a bag purchase however the most I paid for a bag was $180.00 for a Madison Lindsey on Ebay.

I have felt guilty about other purchases such as eating out too much and it was definitely a sign that I was spending too much money.

Heaps of guilt every time. :giggles: Really: I freak out and the prices of my bags is nothing compared to what some tPFers have paid for theirs.

i feel guilty, sure. its one of the handful of things i feel guilty about yet do anyway.

 

[MJDaisy]

yes sometimes. but the happiness usually overshadows the guilt!

 

[Chinadoll977]

Yes feel a lil guilty but it's ok to splurge sometimes

I have found that a good purse not only lasts a long time, but it makes me feel better, even when I am not dressed up.

 

[aquafina]

No I don't as long as the quality of the bag is good since the bag will last me a lifetime.

Yes I definitely feel guilty when buying almost anything, so an expensive handbag is right up there with very guilty.

 

[Hamhamjanice]

I love my bags and I do get guilty. Now, I opt for 2nd hand bags or source them through ebay. Nothing feels better than getting one at a fraction of the original cost!

I have always maintained a certain quota on spending and as you can see by my sigi, I now have to stick to this and rule out any future hopes of buying a new Loro Piana bag. They start at close to $4,000!!

I don't usually feel guilty as all of my bag purchases are well deserved, mostly purchased for special occasions. However, after chatting with some friends about local crime, I'm starting to worry my expensive bags might attract the wrong type of attention. The whole thing is making me question wether I'll continue to spend so much money on anything that could make me a target.

I never feel guilty. If I felt guilty, I wouldn't buy them.

I don't really subscribe to the notion that I should feel bad about the things I have or can have because others have less. I certainly don't expect those that have more than I do to feel bad about what they have.
