Why do we spend what we spend?

[girlie]

Because the good ones make me go weak at the knees and frankly as habits go, it's harmless.

Because it makes us feel good. Plus, most peoples lives are very busy and chaotic, but this is something we can choose and control.

I've been very fortunate in that I got most of my designer bags at deep discount, and before the prices went nutty. So much of the market now is about charging the max and saying you're the best/trendiest/whatever whether you are or not.

Outside of one LV bag, and the second I'm considering, that will probably be the last of my high-end purchases for years to come. I'm not interested in trendy, and I really don't want $20,000 sitting in my closet when I can spend it on something else.

I would be happy to spend money on fancier clothes. Unfortunately, I can't fit into those. So I am diverting my funds on bags. And yes, I do want people to notice my bag. (Yes, I am vain.)

Well, I assume you mean why do you buy expensive bags when you can carry your stuff around in a canvas tote from WalMart? *L*

It is a feeling that is hard to describe, yet all of us "addicts" here know the feeling. There is pleasure in knowing that your bag is authentic, solid, well made, gorgeous, will be envied by others, etc. It's just a "feeling." Either you get it, or you don't.

I absolutely agree!

becos i like the design and the quality of the bag. I don't buy on impulse and i don't buy just becos the bag is in season/ popular. So whatever bag I buy, I know it is well worth the money and I will carry it for a long time.
