Do You Shop For Handbags Alone, or With a Group of Friends, Partner, etc?

Alone mostly. The only person whose opinion I really value is my mum but mostly I want it, I buy it. I do a fair bit of shopping online too so usually I email mum links to things :yes:
 
I always shop alone, bags, shoes, clothes etc. online and on www
My husband always supports my shopping, which can be dangerous :cool:

I love shopping with friends, but seem to be better at finding stuff for them than for myself - hence prefer shopping for me when alone......

Same here! With hubby if need more $$$$ things and after i browse the outlet/ online and decided to buy the item, coz DH cant stand to stay longer in shopping mall but he can ride his bicycle for 150 km per day which i dont understand y!
 
I rarely shop successfully for handbags with anyone else. First of all, none of my nearest and dearest lspend as much as I do, and certainly I would never reveal to my husband what I do spend. What he doesn't know, won't hurt him, I figure. But then again, I get insecure when I am spending so much so I often take a photo and send it to my daughter both from the store, or if I'm looking on-line. And I often end up returning even bags I look at in the store. But I can report I have purchased the perfect black handbag, brown, not so much.
 
I always shop with my fiancé but I talk to my friends about my next purchase. They always look at me crazy though because they think I have way too many. I love shopping with my fiancé though because whenever I'm torn between two he always picks for me and I always convince him to buy something too because he always pays whenever we are shopping at the same store!
 
I prefer handbag shopping on my own, but if go with anyone I will usually not buy anything because I feel like I don't put 100% into my shopping (unless I know for sure what I am buying). Generally, I prefer any kind of shopping on my own. I just feel like I don't really put a lot into looking/shopping when I'm with others. I feel distracted and annoyed sometimes. lol!! But, I do like shopping with my best friend because then we go out for lunch or dinner afterwards. :smile1:
 
Alone, because my friends either don't get it about bags, or are bad money managers (despite earning more than me) and give off a vibe of resentment at the bags and small leather goods etc I've saved carefully to afford, not realising they waste several times that amount yearly on high street store bags and other tatt which gets thrown away within months. :confused1:

(Then they panhandle for my "old" bags - which makes me really pissy because I have a limited budget right now, and so I only buy stuff I plan to use for years... :rolleyes: )
 
On my own.

I ended up at Woodbury Common Outlets today with my family in tow and I just couldn't get a minute in to oogle over handbags because my family was literally following on my heels, literally, breathing down my back. My dh is very uncomfortable in these places, ugh.
