used to, but now it depends on what designers i buy...coach no long makes me happy, neither does dooney & bourke....i seem to only be happy with my bags anymore if they are the higher end designer like lv....seems to me i'm only happy with lv these days, don't seem to care for much else except for a few guccis or balenciagas.
Aw, doreenjoy. Well said.
Come one girls! Of course beautiful, luxurious, expensive bags aren't what the journey of life is about and can't bring us lifelong, deep and meaningful relationships that ultimately define who we are but we wouldn't buy them if they didn't put a little, or huge, smile on our face, right? And, generally, if it is genuine, we smile when we are happy, yeah? So, my answer is, yes. My beautiful Prada's do put a little extra bounce in my step and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I am not irresponsible about it and I have learned to only buy bags that I can use and enjoy. And... I hope my future BV's and Tod's do the same
Something else that makes me happy is not wasting a lot of money on a bag that sits in my closet. That's the worst.

Handbags do make me happy.. and of course buying and owning one makes me smile but only temporarily. My friends and family are the ones that really make me happy... handbags just boost my happiness when I am feeling down.
I have always been interested in fashion, particularly designers' products as they are supposed to stand the passage of time because of the quality of workmanship. When I was young, I could not afford a designer handbag, but now that I am older, I have been able to indulge. Yes, the handbags make me very happy when I buy them and begin wearing them because I am very appreciative of the fact that I have come this far to be able to enjoy something that I have always adminired from a distance. As many others have said, this does not have anything to do with the importance in my life of family and friends which are my main priority. Fashion is like a hobby, a pleasure, but not the essence of my life...
Having or owning designer handbags shouldnt interfere with our emotions, or mental stability so much in my OP...i love bags, been buying them for years, i own over 100 designer types (more of a simple type bag lover tho 
) it's more of a hobby then anything else (for me). sometimes we do get over whelmed b/c of how much $$$ spent on bags OR "keeping up w/ the Jones" and when this happens it tends to become something mental and emotions do get involved, no "bag" should be a stress, they suppose to make us happy...buy what you like/love and enjoy them without doubt or stress my friend....hth

It makes me happy because I know I will likely have them for a very long time. They are high quality and I'm not contributing to fast fashion by having to replace my bag every couple of months.
And they look nice, many of them are unique designs which fast fashion brands try to replicate.
