My H knows, since he's always there with me when I get them. :yes: But I tend to hide new LV purchases from my mom and brother (hard because I work with my brother)... and just shrug off comments if they say anything. My H and I have a deal that we tell each other when making a purchase over $200...

If other people ask for price I give them a ballpark if I think they're really interested in the bag, otherwise just say it was on sale or IDK. As everyone said-- it's no one's business. I make my own money (which my H doesn't want me to spend on the purses, so he buys them for me, and mine pays the mortgage & utilities). =)

Sorry LV, didn't see that thread.

But I agree, most people don't ask, if they do they are really tacky. However, I guess this was to know how people address the price issue with their husband or significant other.

I usually tell my bf: my mom bought it (which can meant another purse or other designer stuff) for me. Well it's indirectly true since the money comes from her anyway :angel:

Yeah, I lie. When my family asks I will say, oh, around a hundred dollars. They are pretty much clueless when it comes to designer things, so I get away with it (I think). I did tell my daughter, though, that my new (used) Chanel 2.55 I just got from ebay cost 600 dollars. I'm not telling her that I drove all the way to Philadelphia and got a Chanel wallet for around 800 dollars because she would just get upset that I spent so much money. She thought it was outrageous what I spent on the flap bag. My son saw my new cell phone and asked how much it cost. I told him 50 dollars but it was actually 150. I just got a David Yurman silver ice crossover ring, too, but when people ask about it, I just say, "This? oh, it's sterling silver," and let it go at that. Why do people right away want to know how much money you spend on things? I don't want them to know because I'm ashamed of myself. It's like an addiction, my buying things. But this is it. This purse and wallet and cell phone are the last things I'm buying for a very long time. They should last me for years and years. I don't need anymore jewelry, either!
