What’s wrong with her carrying a $12 handbag? Just because she has money doesn’t mean she HAS to spend it on designer accessories and clothing. To be honest, there are MUCH better ways to spend your money then investing it in designer names. They’re overpriced to begin with anyways.

I’m a little shocked at the negative feedback just because her bag was 12$. Everyone loves a good bargain, and finding a bag that you think is cute for the cost of lunch… that’s a great deal! So maybe it’s not the highest quality, or a timeless style, but for that price you can afford to change your mind more often each season. I have both designer bags and bargain bags in my closet, and I am no more proud or ashamed no matter the bag I am carrying. And kudos to Serena for not being ashamed either. This makes her all the more appealing to me; it makes her easier to relate to and identify with.

Oh yea, I have cut back. I think the bag is fine and probably fits her needs. I think it was smart of her to bring it.

I don’t get why people are bagging on the $12 bag (pun was REALLY NOT intended). Maybe she really likes the bag… and it doesn’t look like she is wearing it as an everyday purse… More of a bag she takes to the courts. She’s being smart and not spending hundreds of dollars on a purse that will just end up on the sweaty bench!

Let’s see. . .the New York Times reports another 75,000 jobs lost through lay-offs today. Yes, I’d say the crisis is real.
Bravo to you, Serena both for being sensible and for buying from an American company.
As for me, I love to look at the bags posted here, but I won’t be buying any of them – be they $12 or $12,000. Not this year. Time for me to be reasonable again.

I guess I wouldn’t buy a $12 bag even if it’s cute. I’d just make do with what I have and shine up the old stuff in the closet.

I agree with Susanne. This story is a great example of why things are getting worse. The more people talk about the economy in a negative light, and use all the latest daily buzz words…economic melt-down, crisis, etc…what they’re really doing is instilling more and more fear into people’s minds. The more fearful people are, the tighter they hold onto their money. Now multiply that by millions of people and things get worse and worse for everyone. The best thing people with money can do right now is spend it.

The economic crisis will certainly not get better if people who actually have money stop spending them… It only makes the negative spiral spin faster.
