Not even my DH knows the H prices, only my DDs and BFF ~ who also collects H like there is no tomorrow! I figure this is my hobby. We were out to dinner with another couple and my friend mentioned that she spent $30K on her new horse. My DH and I spoke about it afterwards and he said, "Well that's her hobby" and it was quite acceptable to him. That's my new rationale. H is my hobby.

Exactly! My former boss kept horses and spent a forum on them. But she would only carry a LK Bennett bag.

I also agree on once you get into buying H, you loose touch with pricing of other things. I would absolutely refuse to pay more than £700 for a new laptop but buying a GM is perfectly justifiable!

All very good rationale, ladies!

You know you are addicted....when you are discriminating with all phone calls, save for the one Id'd as HERMES happily pulsating away on your mobile :p And react to answer as if you caught on fire -- STOP, DROP AND ROLL -- stop in your tracks, drop everything you're doing/about to do, and roll into the H boutique immediately!

Yup I totally agree! Even now. If H called, I drop everything and rush over there as if it's my sole responsibility to save the boutique itself from a 3 alarm fire.:police::doggie:

I must keep coming back to this thread as it feels so comforting to know I am not the only one! I too have worn the same few sets of sweats for chores at home for YEARS. I would never spend 200.00 for a new Nike set when I can get a twilly (tax and shipping included). (When mom or DH feel sorry for me, they will buy them for me.)

Yes BBC, "inherent value" but dear friend, please go buy another set of tights as I bet the elastic is stretched and the sheen isn't as lovely... you deserve them. :giggles::hugs:

Sparklelisab, it is FAR worse than that....the leggings have a *hole* in them. 😁😁😁
It's not that I walk around looking crazy, it's just that leggings aren't "fun" to buy, they're a basic.

My father saw my birkins laying around in the house he asked me how much I told him not that much £500,he gave me the look "what?!"my mum is laughing at the back...if he knew the real price of the bag he will cut me off without a second thought..

...You're afraid to read the scarves thread because you just bought two H bracelets this month as a direct result of perusing the bracelets thread! H eye candy is so hard to resist, especially seeing how beautifully it's modeled by tPF members. :)

You know you are addicted when you buy 4 bags and 5 scarves in less than 4 months and have proceeded to put the rest of your non H bags and accessories on ebay to fund your new purchases.
