Ok, drinking too much wine too early, and another question came to the forefront...
Why do you personally buy balenciaga bags?
Is it only because you feel the style compliments your personality?
Do you buy them because you like them, but more because it is a status symbol to impress your friends?
Do you buy them because your favorite celebrity has them?
Do you buy them because you love the style, and even though you really shouldn't spend the money, you want to splurge a little on yourself and enjoy the luxury?
Or are you just a hoarder and have decided that you have to have every style in every color to go with every outfit???
A couple of years ago I thought I would never spend more than a few hundred dollars on a bag. I completely blame TPF for my bbag addiction, LOL!!!
I'm not SUPER RICH, but if I wanted to, I could easily buy a $5k bag and be totally OK with it. However, Hermes and Chanel just don't do it for me. When I saw the bbag giant hardware I fell in love with the rocker chic side of it, and then I was hooked.
As far as quality goes, I'm sorry to say that some of my Cole Haan bags I've had in the past FAR out succeed the quality and leather of some of the bbags I've gone through.
So in part, for me, it is the secret splurge of having a bag worth over 1k that everyone looks at, but has no idea that it's that expensive, along with the fact that it really suits my style and personality. I've never been into the branding symbols or logos, so it's my little secret. I feel that if Ralph Lauren, Chanel, or LV want free advertising from me, then they should give me the clothing or bags for free!!!
I am almost 40 and do feel that I deserve it, but I work from home, so really don't need more than a few bags. I feel that owning 3-4 expensive bags equals the expense of some people who have 30-40 more inexpensive bags.
I know there was a recent poll of financial status of bbag buyers, but I was more interested in the driving force behind the purchase, not whether you have the finances to be spending the money or not.
Please share!!!!
