Ok, this is a real problem. I am addicted to looking at bags. I try to recover, I delete all the people I follow on Instagram and pintrest and then a day later I add them all back. I just need go handbag watch. Anyone else? Does anyone else delete their internet addiction of looking at bags to only re-add it shortly later?

Ha! I window-shop for bags on The net ALL The time! I know practically each LV bag by name and number, browse for Longchamp, Hermes, Chanel, you name it. I do too check out the highstreet brands and lust for them as much as for the high end brands. I check instagram frequently for my favourite fashion inspirations and I check TPF a couple of times a day. When I buy a bag, I'm in extasy. The feeling fades after a week and I'm already browsing for a new one. So yes, I have an addiction and everyone around me knows it. I don't delete anything or restrict myself from browsing, but i do hold back on buying all the time when I love a bag. Simply because i can't afford all of them. I see my browsing and window shopping as my guilty pleasure and it gives me a great feeling reading about and looking at bags. I don't think I will ever stop 😄.

Count me in! I always think that tomorrow I won't look at a handbag online, no PF, no PB, no online stores, no nothing. And the next thing I know, I'm back at it again...officially obsessed! :laugh:

Let's just say I know myself...restricting myself from looking, or window shopping is just not possible. However, being smarter and limiting any impulse purchases, yes. I learned to be more discerning, and only buy things that's truly practical for me. If there's not really a surge in the money spent, then I find that to be okay :laugh:

Lol. I browse nightly. It calms me down. It's my solice from the world at night when my busy day is done. An addiction that only other TPF members will understand :-)

Omg, I also browse handbags nightly! It is calming for me too. The key for me is to just browse, not buy. Glad I'm not the only one :smile1:

Ha! See kindred spririts! Yes it's not uncommon for me to have several tabs open on my laptop while on TPF. I will have LV , Longchamp, burberry , Nordy , NM , bloomies , gilt , etc etc and I am just surfing around looking at bags , clutches, SLG , scarves. Etc etc. no apparent reason except I love to look and see the new goodies. Plan a purchase carefully compare and read and learn about all these goods. I know more about LV than some SA at LV. It's fun!!! I don't buy. I look for the deals. I watch. I remember. Make my wish list longer or swap out things on my wish list. It calms me. Every night and it's fun. I just like to look and see the prices. I think one day that piece will be mine. Or yeah right never gonna happen. Ever. But it sure does look pretty. I am happy and calm and sometimes dream of purses!!! Lol. Ahhhhh purses. Zzzzzzzzzzzz

OMG, I think you are my purse-soul twin! :p I also use bag-browsing to relax. Mainly tPF, but also Saks, Neimans, Yoogi's, Ann's, Fashionphile, Malleries, plus a few blogs I follow (mostly found via tPF!). I like to know what's out there. I look WAY more than I buy, but when I'm thinking of buying, I research obsessively. Usually the obsession wears off and I move on to something else, but if it doesn't, or if I keep circling back to the item in question, that's when I will buy. But usually, I just look. And look, and look ... :cool:

I so guilty. Browsing the handbags of high end designers is my internet porn (so my friends tell me). I will wake hp at 2am and just browse tpf, fashionphile, Chanel, etc. it's just horrible to have a dmmer of light at that time of the day!!

I look at bags constantly!! Luckily for me, I am fine with window shopping and not buying. I am thinking about making my first premier designer purchase for my birthday this year so I'm always browsing online & trying to decide what I want.
