What's the craziest thing you've done to be able to afford the bag you wanted?

^^ I think you look great carrying it

Oh my...so worth that flight. Looks great on you. Not too small at all. Huge congrats Just stunning!!!

Absolutely looks great, and appropriately sized for an exotic. Can be worn daytime through evening. Well done!

I think it looks perfect on you, it's beautiful [emoji3]

No, it's the perfect size !! It's beautiful, glad you finally used it!!

I love your story... I ever have a chance to get Hermes Birkin or Kelly. I would have done the same. I know how hard to get Birkin from hermes store. Love the bag too. I like this size on you

Looks great on you! Love the size
I can see why you flew so far for her

@dotty8, @tannfran, @jellyv, @BigCherry, @allyloupuppy, @natalia0128, @Elaine1904: Thank you all for your kind words! Because of your encouragement, I took my Kelly out for again today. I definitely feel more comfortable carrying her now.

i missed my flight just because I was too busy around the dutyfree shop to buy 2 Longchamp bags

I wanted this Delvaux simplissime orange handbag on the auction so much that i stayed at my laptop for the last 1 hour. And at the last 50 secs, I entered my bid and I got it

I was new in using facebook that time. In facebook I browsed many online shops and there's this one coach bag I fell in love with. That time I had no budget for expensive bag. What I did was, I pawned my jewelries that I seldom used and i used the money to buy the coach bag. I think that's the craziest thing i've done.

I saved my money for a year only to get to the store and see that they have sold out

 

[crabbyo721]

I put the purchase on one credit card and then transferred the balance to another one that offered me zero percent interest for over a year.

 

[chicinthecity777]

Nothing! I would never buy a luxury bag if I had to save long and hard for it. Although my SO, family & friends think me buying all those Hermes is crazy!

 

[love_timeless]

Haha... I doctors this comic and sent to my DH as a joke the other day. So fitting for this thread.

I've not don't anything crazy, but i have cut corners in other areas e.g. Getting non branded household stuff... Who cares what brand your dish liquid is?? Also, the toaster burns bread, meh, just need to stand by it and eject the bread at the last minute..

I finally had a chance to take a photo of the bag because after so many years, I wore it for the first time for brunch this morning! Behold, the bag for which I flew over ten thousand miles!

Three photos, one the bag itself, and the other two modeling shots. (Questions: Does the bag look small on me? Or does it still manage to look proportionate?)

Stunning bag and it's plain to see that 30% off would be worth paying for a flight! It looks great on you, just a nice size.

I took out a loan to pay off my debt... But used some of that money to buy a bag 🙄🙄🙄 but I did pay off my loan before it was due...

And that bag I purchased (Balenciaga city - black with RGHW which was the push for the buy; they were discontinuing the rose gold ) is my most used/beloved bag I own...[emoji23][emoji16] I probably wouldn't do that again though. I am happy to report I am completely debt free!! [emoji106]🏻
