I haven’t had anyone ask me the price of my bags but I do have a friend with a strong opinion on bag prices. She bragged about only paying $15 at Costco for a Lululemon dupe (no shade on Costco, I shop there regularly and I happen to have a jacket the same brand as her purse). She couldn’t believe why someone would pay so much money for the Lululemon in a judgy way. I just asked how she liked her new purse and if it had pockets or something and changed the subject. I now know not to discuss purses with this friend. Everyone spends on something and it’s none of anyone’s business what someone pays for a purse because everyone has different interests and budgets.
Since I'm a sale shopper and into second hand, I usually just say that my bag in question was a bargain.
If someone tells me "I'd never pay that much for a bag", I usually just reply something in the lines of "I'd never buy a car that loses its value faster than my bag, but here we are".

I practice my 100m dash at the gym 🤣
Most of my bags are rehabbed or vintage and I mostly only carry Coach, so.. I basically say that. "Oh, this is vintage, I've had it forever. It's Coach, they hold up really well." or some such.
Or eating out and spending lots of money out eating when we know where that food we ate is going to end up 😂Since I'm a sale shopper and into second hand, I usually just say that my bag in question was a bargain.

I try to avoid wearing my pricey bags out with some ppl cause of the looks I’ll get. Wear long sleeves for prying eyes (thankfully live in cold/rainy country) so much easier.
I say found ‘purse’ at Marshall’s or it was a gift from neighbor that no longer has a need/want for it. 😂

I say straight up…none of your business. Period. End of.
Then again, people who know me would not be surprised at my response. I’m pretty blunt. You have Google at your fingertips. Look it up.

I mean...I'd tell them. Then if there was a snarky comment, I'd say "and that's why I look like this and you look like that." Oopsie
I think you just smile enigmatically and move on. Luckily in the UK very few people would ask that.
Precisely 
Fortunately, this rarely happens in Germany too

"Oh, she's not cheap, for sure. Pretty, isn't she?" and leave it at that.
In France, it’s quite unheard of for anyone to ask such a question—unless they’re a very close friend, in which case you might jokingly reply “more than you earn” to piss them off. Otherwise, it’s typically the sort of thing only asked by the ill-mannered or socially unaware—best met with a polite smile and no answer at all.
