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

Everyone has different priority's, Some people like to go out to eat a lot and spend a lot of money on food. Some people like to take vacations, Some people rather spend their money on an expensive car. Some people drink, smoke and party every day. Others would rather buy expensive purses. Who is to say which is right. It is what makes you happy. I don't think you have to have a super high paying job. It is what you choose as your priority. My ex-boss had no problem going out to a $200+ sushi dinner but thought I was crazy buying an expensive purse. Guess what I still have that expensive purse. What does she have?


^^^Isn't that the truth!!!
 
This one:

07 Violet City, 1,750 USD (crazy, I know - way over retail, but soooo gorgeous!)
 
hmmmmm.....let's see.....
the most I PAID for a bag was about $900 for my LV Petit Noe Damier w/vachetta that I had made.
The most expensive bag I own is an Anthracite Chloe Paddy that I bought from a tPFer. I paid $700 and I believe Paddy's are $1895 + tax, to date.
Just wanted to add that I had my LV made 10 yrs. ago.

Right to the point. And not to mention that some people like buying 20 of $50 purses and I just happened to like buying a couple of $1000+ purses when they are on sale instead. They make me happy every time I wear them. :yahoo: Not that I want to but I am sure I will be able to sell them also.
And our values change in different stages of our lives. My ex-bf bought a $200+ coach for my b-day 5 years ago and I thought he's crazy. And now I am into $1000+ miu miu bags. Who knows in the future....Prada, Hermes, Diamonds...? :shrugs: :shrugs:
 
I forgot to contribute...
1st most expansive: miu miu black coffer with gold hw. (about $1000 after 30% off)
2nd most expansive: miu miu shopper with gold hw. (about $700 after 30% off)
3rd most expansive: Moschino (about $300 after 70% off) from today's purchase.
 
I try not to buy anything at retail, so it has to be a sale for me to seal the deal! Having said that, most expensive bag (both bought and/or owned) is my Hermes Kelly Ostrich, as seen in my avi.
 
The most expensive bag in my collection is my Hermès croco pochette, which originally costs €6500, but I got it at almost 1/6 of the price: €1150. The most I ever paid for a bag is €1950; for my Chanel metallic turquoise Reissue.
 
The most expensive purse I own SO FAR, is the Coach OP Art Large Coated Canvas Leah in black & white (originally $358, bought on sale for $178 + tax/shipping.) The most expensive will be the bag that I ordered 2 days ago (but haven't received yet) is the $595 Gucci small Joy Boston (avatar) that I got on sale for $299 (+ tax/shipping). The Summer sale is over now & I ordered just in the nick of time! :tup: I'm new to designer bag collecting as fancy-colored diamonds are my 1st expense of choice. I'm sure there will be many more to come!
