Alone. I like what I like and truly don't need anyone else's opinion regarding the style or price I decide upon. I am definitely a bargain hunter extraordinaire so even if it takes me a long time to buy it the quality, price and style must be right!
 
Mostly alone with the exception of my stepdad. He is the only one who can wait with out making me feel pressured to hurry. He also knows my collection well and has added a few to it as well.
 
I shop alone. I find it more effective. Sometimes I go in a group...however I don't find it useful at all. I sometimes ended up buying stuff that my friends like instead of going for what I really like.
 
I do most of my shopping with my SO. He's ok when I go purse shopping. An example, I just recently went to Coach to buy a new bag, and he offered his opinion on the color, style and size of the bag I wanted...
I was impressed, and in shock. He will usually just say I dont carry it, lol.
To me, the bag means more due to his input. I love the bag (we) chose even more because of it. As far as shopping with my girlfriends, we dont purse shop together. We do go to other stores, like the outlets for clothes, or shoes. Im not a big spender when it comes to bags. One or two will do, especially if they are Well Made :)
 
Both in groups, with my SO and sometimes alone. I like having company plus my SO is great on details so he'll notice if the stitching is bad or the quality is not good. My friends don't really shop as much now though only once in a while since most of them are saving up for families. Sometimes when I'm returning things I'm usually alone but it feels awkward.
 
alone!!!!!!!! i don't want anyone judging how much i choose to spend (none of my other friends are "into bags" really). OCCASIONALLY i'll shop with one friend but that's only happened a few times. also my dad took me to a sample sale a few times so he was present a few times too! but 9 out of 10 times i am alone :)
 
I like shopping alone. Yet, I will seek opinions from close friends if I'm facing a dilemma. I will still shop alone after gaining their feedbacks. Over the years, I feel when you shop alone, you can make a better decision. It's nice to have feedbacks and opinions from your close friends, SAs, SMs who might be enabling you.

Then again, we all do sometimes have our personal preferences. This can be conflicting in our minds especially from someone who face a dilemma. When you shop alone after you inquire opinions from friends or family, you can then make a better final decision, wholeheartedly yours. Meaning this is the bag you want, you can see yourself using and deep inside, you do like it a lot.
