What is the most that you'd spend on a handbag?

[MissKrista]

$1,000 for me is my limit

My limit has increased exponentially with the length of time I've been a member of tPF!!

I still cant spend more than $250 on a bag...but at least I'm finding them heavily discounted now, so really they are retailing for $450-550. I cant imagine how I'll be next year when I think I can afford more. Will I? I dont know. I have a nice rotating stockpile of bags now, so maybe I'll be buying fewer but higher quality soon?

I'm a minor and jobless, so the most I can justify is about 300 USD. I'm not sure how much I'll spend once I'm older, but it'll depend on my economic situation.

 

[Onederland]

upwards of 3K for a regular bag.

but up to 10K for a birkin.

 

[AAA07]

The most I have spent on a bag was a little of $900. I think my limit would probably be about $1,200 or $1,300. I guess ????

 

[moi et mes sacs]

My limit keeps going up. The most I spent this year was 1300 pounds on a Givenchy.

I discovered Hermes so any thoughts of being reasonable and rational are long gone. I no longer have a limit as to what I would spend.

I do, however, have limits as to what I can spend. I will never spend more than I can afford. If one day I can afford a croc and diamond Birkin, so be it!

I can't see it happening anytime soon, though. *sigh*

 

[csewallh]

The most I have spent is $1,250. That will by my upper limit for a while I think, but the majority of my purses are between $300 and $600 right now.

idk i guess it depends on the bag and my current financial situation.

I've spend around $2000 on my spy (1400 euros), but I usually don't go over 1000 euros/$1300-1500. I don't really have a limit as to what I would spend, but rather as to what I can spend. I'm a student and I only have time to work during summer. I've only recently ventured into the world of Hermes, so I guess I'll be saving up for a big one (I'm thinking bolide or massai, not birkin or kelly). However, my favourite brand at the moment is Mulberry, which isn't that expensive - their best bag (and my fav) is the ledbury, which is only 450 euros.

You said it in a nutshell, girl.

 

[peachiesncream]

my most expensive item so far is my chanel which was 3300 plus tax

 

[meganfm]

The most for me has been the Treesje Asher I just bought-$32x on sale. HOWEVER, once I converted it to Canadian it's about $406CDN. That's the end of my cross-border shopping for quite awhile!

Great thread!

I spent £1120 on a Spy a couple of years ago after obsessing about it for months(you'll all know the feeling - 'my life will end unless this bag is mine') and really regretted it. Not the cost -the fact that, when I finally got round to using it, gosh I loathed that bag.Too big, too much of a pain to get in and out of....*sigh*. Big, huge expensive mistake.
BUT. Its made me think very carefully about what I spend my cash on now - I know which brands work for me and I only ever pay cash. So I'd say my limit is around £800 - £950....can't bring myself to hand over any more than that.
