The Dumbest Reason You Ever Gave For Buying a Bag

Ah, but, I'd have to disagree. The reason isn't a lie, per se. Just that we're not allowed to be honest with our purchases, whether it's our own messed up selves or the way we were raised, or something disallows us the pure pleasure of getting something we want, with no excuses needed.
Totally agree! Many times my reason for buying a bag (or anything else pricey for myself) is "Because I go to work every damn day!!"
 
Hahahahaaaaaaa! Yeah, I'm getting enabled. Fortunately I have two coming this year already, so it would have to wait anyway.
I don't *think* it's a dumb reason, but one of the bags I'm getting is to, um, match some jewelry I have.
Well, jewelry I'm going to have.
Soon.
Promise.
We neeeeed pics of this! :biggrin: It’s like a what came first chicken or egg thing
 
Wow, all of the colors in this bag match my one pair of pants perfectly. Better make sure to always handwash those pants now. If this Bottega bag is going to make me value those Zara pants more, this is a noble cause.

Not gonna lie that Ariana Grande song that goes "I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it" did it for me too. It's dangerous to put that song on when you're holding your wallet.

how do they ruin the brand? genuinely wondering
besides their price increases being insane. it should be illegal for them to own basically cartier, vca, tiffany, all these luxury brands! they're such a monopoly
Take for example Moynat who went from an uncompromising Maison offering the most innovative shapes and materials to offering mainstream items.

Let’s face it from a business standpoint you’ll make far more money selling thousands upon thousands of canvas totes rather than hand stitched stone art pieces.

You're not alone in this feeling ... this happened to BV a few years ago as well. Sigh.
 
What bag and lunar year animal are these ?
This year and I'm a Tiger. A lot of brands have options every year; this year I've seen some from Gucci, Balenciaga, Fendi. I didn't want to buy just anything, but rather a bag I've been lusting after for some time, and I found the perfect option in the form of a Marc Jacobs Tote bag. But do I really need a Tiger print bag, or a new bag at all? No, but I've justified it the same. :lol:
 
This makes perfect sense :smile:

what this thread needs: pics of our dumb excuse bags
It may end up being a fashion show. Lol! My “dumb excuse” bags are actually my most loved and worn. I think I used dumb excuses to allow me to spend the money where my heart was and overrode my too conservative brain.
OH yeah, that’s a very intricate mind f&*k … been there, done that, cursed self. :spiderweb:
Points for using this cool emoji. :lol:
