I had the Game On Vanity PM in my cart last night because I got a notice there was a restock. While I really do like the print...I cringed seeing the total of almost $3K and couldn’t justify it.
1900 € per bag max. But I bought 4 bags in the last four months, whereas my rule was one bag per year, so... oh well, it has really been a difficult year for me.
$500. I only buy preloved LVs and I only have one that cost over $500. I agonized over buying it and am thinking of selling it because I feel like it should be my favorite bag at that price but it isn’t. Alma PM DE that was a phenomenal deal, so I went higher than I would normally, knowing I could make money on it if I wanted.
Most of my LV bags cost $200-300. Some less. I only have LV in canvas, except for one Epi Speedy I got cheap to restore and resell but she sat for a bit so I kept her.

2050. is the most I’ve ever spent on a new, from the boutique bag. In fact, just today, I purchased the mono pochette Métis.
Thats my limit for LV. The most I’ve ever spent is 2800. for my preloved Chanel reissue. I can’t pay more than that and feel comfortable.

I think I never really feel comfortable buying from LV 
. So far my highes amount spent was about 1500 €, but with all the price increases most bags I really love are over that amount. My fave bag is a Montaigne in empreinte, but I will probably never get it.

I do really love that bag. I love how the leather feels, I love the saggy middle (I got the medium) and I love the handle. I also love the hardware and the feet. I'm thrilled with it!

I am feeling this way lately as well. With their 6 various price increases from October 2019 to date (and most of them during the pandemic), the reduced quality, and just not wanting to carry expensive bags during COVID, I am done.I’ve decided recently that my comfort level is $0. I haven’t bought anything from LV since escale... n nothing else really warrants my attention or need to have. I’m a little LV fatigued. It might be over for me.
Prior to this year the most I spent on a canvas bag was $2,000 (inc taxes). I can still afford that or more, but I just don't want to pay that anymore. The ridiculous prices for some of the slgs and bags that end up having glazing (or other) issues in less than a year just means it isn't worth it to me anymore. When my Pochette Metis ($2,000) has more quality issues than my Coach Cassie (similar style) that only cost me $150-200 (sale), that makes me done also.
I will enjoy what LV I have left, but not purchase more. Even preloved is out of control pricing between people on Facebook groups selling slgs like a key pouch for $100 more than retail to the ridiculous prices of bags and the obscene prices Fashionphile sells used items for, just GTFO!
Yep, that’s why I’ve been exploring other brandsI am feeling this way lately as well. With their 6 various price increases from October 2019 to date (and most of them during the pandemic), the reduced quality, and just not wanting to carry expensive bags during COVID, I am done.

I'm feeling this way. I like what I have, but whereas I used to immediately crave a new bag the second as I got a new one, I'm not feeling that at all. Not sure if it's Covid, the realization that bags have gotten over the top expensive, or just finally content. It's a new feeling, that's for sure.I’ve decided recently that my comfort level is $0.

Depends on the bag tbh. In general up to $2,000. But for example, I want the Cluny BB but I feel it’s way over priced. But I’d buy the Lockme Ever because I feel that that particular bag is worth the price tag. ♀️
