    WHoa! LOL

    What is the average income now? Isn't it like US$25K or something? I think a family is US$44K And what is the average price of a purse? I have no clue about that. It would be interesting to see the price difference there...

    yeah, and a week's grocery was like $2.50 and now it's like $200! it's all inflation baby...

    and in 50 years we're not gonna be talking in hundreds anymore, it'll probably be in thousands...i

    yes. was that just a regular handbag, or lv??
    well, in those days, a cent was about a dollar..

    pretty sure a lv bag was about $30 for something decent sized.

    Lol I remember seeing old LV ads (like the black and white ones from the turn of the century) where the prices for a large trunk was less than or a bit over $100.
