Honestly, I can't afford an Hermes bag beyond the Evelyne without saving up, and THANK YOU GOD, they don't make a single bag that works for me. Not a one! It does surprise me, but I'm mostly happy that I'm not drooling over something that would pay for 1/3 of a car.
I'm also lucky that--most likely--by this time next year, my Hermes collection will be complete, and I'll move on to something else. Or just invest the money instead.
At the end of the day, it always comes down to how you want to spend your discretionary income, and if that income is high, you can spend it any old way you want with plenty left over.
