I got a full time job and worked hard. Despite the rent I paid for my parents, I saved up money for the stuffs I need and travel every year. Also, I loved buying pre-loved and vintage items, so it cost less. It helps, I guess! My mum loved to buy designer bags and she got some pretty awesome ones. She would sell me some once in a while if I really loved them.
I work a full-time job. I save for a new bag or I selling bags I currently don't use on Ebay to get the bag that I want. I try to make sure the bag I'm saving for or want, I will use for years to come. If not, then, I typically don't get the bag.
All except for 1 of my collection came from my husband. Either he is not as imaginative as other guys or he truly believes that bags and jewelries will be very much appreciated 
) he is right (well, most of the time).
Cash. He is never fond of buying something he can't afford. I kinda learned this from him so everytime i am planning on buying something, i also save for it first before buying.

I love big discount price on branded bags every end of year! Then use my credit cards for 12 months installment 0% interest! I pay monthly debt to credit cards, never late, by using my husband's money and my parents' money. Well i dont work. I used to work, salary was too small. Hahahaha lucky me that now i can buy branded bags i like
I'm in my early 20's, I'm a server and still in school trying to figure out if i'll actually use my future BA in anthropology or serve/bartend the rest of my life. I started the 52 week savings challenge back in June and was fully prepared to spend all of it on a bag or a few depending on what I decided, then I got engaged! So now that money is going toward our wedding, honeymoon and our future Hopefully with my 2nd job I can save a little on the side to buy myself something nice.
My fiancé bought me a Dooney and Bourke purse and wallet two years ago while they had their 12 days of Dooney sale and they were both half off and I bought myself a black large longchamp le pilage using christmas money, and a bit of my own.
One day I'll have Celine, Chloe, and Hermes bags.

I do WORK a full time job and get well paid job...I'm 30 years old bought all my purses with my Own money I do have a rent payment each month and car payment (New 2014) all my bills have to be paid first and then I do save for my shopping expenses like put in a old school piggy bank. But I do pay my self first like putting money in my savings account. I do not used any CC to buy any purses I do prefer to pay in my Debit or cash I'm to OCD about my credit score I want to make sure that I can afford the things that I have I do not like Debts specially in material things that it's not important in life. But I do like purse,jewelry and makeup I do work hard to get what I like I always work overtime and get paid time and 1/2 I always budget what I can afford, and lastly I do eat good food to treat my self really good. I do not like suffering just to buy a designer handbag I will never eat Top Ramen just to save for a bag..trust me I know one of my friend's friend did that just to invest a good designer handbag. Bottom line is what ever make you happy....Hey go for it! Thank you for reading and sharing

Very we'll said 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Mine so is cliche. I work hard for every bag I own. I was like anyone who only see these handbags on the shelf of a high end store and wondering when will I get the chance to own my very 1st high end designer handbag. And then when I got my first job I decided to make a "bag fund". So basically I save up first then I buy the bag I want.
I worked until I had my third child. I bought my LV when I was working. Hubby pays for my craziness. Well deserved though. We own no credit cards and only have debit. I save up for my bags
I have a very good job working in fashion and my fiancé is comfortable as well. I buy my bags and he buys me bags as well. He bought me both of my birkins. Overall I buy anywhere from 10-15 bags a year.
