Sins of vanity, pride, insecurity, conspicuous consumption, self-reward. Making up for past deprivation. And they are pretty and I dont have to worry about fitting into them :smile: My feet dont fit in fancy shoes.
But lately I've come to the realization that they dont make me happy. They make me temporarily satisfied. There is a difference. Its all just for fun. I can pull off a $30 clearance Fossil bag the same way as a Chanel flap. It doesn't change anything. I like both, I want to have both but ultimately its all for fun.

well said, same here

It just makes me really happy when I carry them

and it´s not about the others, in my small town the people only get that Michael Kors and LV Monograms are a bit more expensive than High street stuff (if they´re not fake), but Miu Miu, Fendis, Stellas and Givenchys?

I just wear my beloved bags for me (it´s safe on these small town streets, girls, they can´t tell the price of a designer bag here:P)

I actually refuse to pay full price for anything! :P I love the quality of high-end bags like Fendi, Givenchy, etc. but it makes me cry to have to pay full-price... But if I had to get either a low-end bag at reg. price or a high-end bag at reg. price, then I WOULD save for the high-end. The quality just never fades! ^^

Why? Because it's a symbol for all the hard work. My first bag I bought in high school after saving up from my job, birthday money, allowance etc...I was 17 years old and I bought Chanel Boy. Now I'm proud to own over 16 designer pieces without any debt. They all have sentimental value to me as they were bought after a lot of hard work. The money you pay does get you quality and it will outlive me and perhaps even my children.

I think everyone has a 'thing' that is their passion - e.g. my boyfriend loves computers/IT (which I like too as we both work in IT), my dad loves his cars & motorbikes, and I love bags and fashion.

If it makes me happy and no debt involved - I do it :smile: I can't take my money with me when I die!

Not that I've ever spent 1K for a bag (but I would if I could).

But I look at fashion as a hobby, just like cars, golf, fishing, etc.

Because bags are my "thing" and they give me enjoyment like nothing else can. I can't wear beautiful shoes due to my wonky feet and as much as I like designer clothes, I just can't justify paying that much for items that I can't wear every day….unlike bags, which CAN be worn again and again every day. Cost per wear, baby! :tup:

For investment, really. The bags will last so much longer, there's the brand name behind it, and it looks and feels great. It also brings my self-esteem up, knowing that I'm carrying something I'm able to afford. Plus it makes me genuinely happy every time I look at it (and smell the leather teehee!).

The leather smell is about right!

Because I'm single (as in, not married, no kids. I do have a live-in bf), in my late 20s, established in my career, and can afford to. I don't know how much longer I will be able to say that, as I do want children eventually. The way I see it, this is my time. My time to travel, to shop, to love, to play.
