Temporary sacrifice for a long term gain. I commend you on having your priorities straight. My most expensive bag was probably $70 before I bought a home in 2003. For two years prior to that I saved and sacrificed all shopping, dining out, hair salon trips etc. until I had saved my down payment and closing funds (also did no credit charges to improve my credit score) and then after I moved in I had to be frugal another 6 months because I needed to refinance to a better loan. Afterwards I was more concerned with furnishing my home and fixing it up vs. fashion. Once that was achieved, I THEN got into buying designer handbags (my first two were after receiving a nice bonus at work and from my first fat tax refund for deducting my mortgage interest) and can do so without guilt knowing I have an appreciating asset to house them in. So do not feel bad about it. Be proud of the goal you have set for yourself. You have many years to splurge afterwards and will have some equity to boot! A designer bag that contains a wallet with maxed out credit cards is not cute. A designer bag that contains the keys to a home that you own is fabulous! :wlae:

You go, girls! The most expensive bag that I owned, prior to buying our first condo, was about $100. :wlae:



The most expensive bag that I own now is my LV Green Perforated Speedy, which I have just realized cost more than my wedding dress did last year. :push:

Oh well, I'll definitely use the bag more often than my wedding dress!

35 cm Birkin Gold Togo leather w/palladium hardware purchased from a reseller my husband thinks it was only 1/2 of of what I paid, which now I think is to vulgar to divulge the price.

I coulda/woulda/shoulda used that money for a much needed remodeling of my master bathroom! Oh well....

I'm pretty sure my most expensive purchase to date is my Balenciaga Day Bag- $995. But ssshhh, don't tell anybody. Thanks!

Probably my Chloe Silverado - is was about £500 in the net-a-porter sales. Certainly wouldn't have paid full price for it as it was nearly £1k!!!!!!! I think £500 is my break point, I doubt I would ever, ever go above that.

My most expensive bag was the Jimmy Choo Ramona, priced at, gulp, $1850. It was really hard to make such an expensive purse purchase, but I think in the end, it was worth it!
