I was just wandering, if you were a bag addict and let’s say addicted to some brand LV for example, would you go for the limited edition bag just because it was a collectors item, even if it was not your style at all?

No, I would never fall for the marketing of it being a Ltd Edition if I wouldn't carry it.

But then again, I'm not a collector.
I would never spend the kind of money they ask for LV Ltd Editions if I wouldn't ever carry the bag.

NO. Even though a lot of my LV bags are limited editions, I try and pick something I would wear/what suits me. I am not about to drop an insane amount of $$$ on a bag that I am not going to use. I have turned down several LE bags offered to me by my SA because they didn't suit my style at all.

I agree with Irene and Swanky - there is no way I am spending money (no matter the amount) on something that I am simply not going to wear. When I returned my silk perfo scarf my SA tried to get me to buy a ceries (sp?) one and I couldnt do it. I knew it was not something that I would get any use out of.

I was going to say the same thing as well. "Limited Edition" is simply a marketing gimmick - nothing more, nothing less.

I only buy a bag if I like the way it looks and it meets the practicality and quality criteria that I look for.

I would never buy a bag just because it is a "Limited Edition".
I think some Limited Edition bags are quite ugly as well.

:yes: I totally agree. To me, there is no point in spending heaps on a bag I won't use. I would rather spend it on a bag that I will love and use.

Definitely not. I would echo the same sentiments as some of the other posts - way too much money to be spending on something that I hated or would not use.

I've fallen for buying something that is limited even though I didn't really like it. I felt really guilty about the purchase and ended up returning it. I would never do that again. If I love the bag, I'll get it.
