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

currently I have spent 3k for my Chanel. I don't think I will be going over that for a while. Maybe I'll consider investing in a Birkin in a few more years? But for now I am MORE than happy with my Chanel and LVs and don't feel the need to spend more than 3k.
 
The most I've spent it about $400 with tax. I don't see myself going past that for a very long time, I'm not even working now, just going to school full time and once I graduate in a year and a half and find a job I will probably be willing to spend more. At the moment with the very limited budget that I have from savings from when I was working, but budget is about $200, but I'm pretty content with my limited collection now so I try not to be tempted by shopping for new bags lol. A lot of the time though, my decisions to spend more/less depend on the brand and the quality of the bag. I saw a bag I liked over the weekend but didn't think the brand was worth the money. Then a few days later I found another bag for more money and didn't think it was a bad deal, since the brand was known for better leather. I purchased neither, since I wasn't 100% in love with either, but I do base my decisions to not buy a bag I like under my budget because I don't think the brand is worth the price.

$1500 AU. I went a tad over this for my HG Lilac City, but, as a student, my budget won't stretch past that again for a long time and I'm trying to shop a bit further down the food chain. :p
 
My next purchase is going to take me just a tad bit over the $2,000 mark. This totally goes against my grain, however, I am going after something that I have been considering buying for some time now and am just about ready to splurge. I hope after this though it will be it for quite a long time and the admiration will come from you people in this forum!
