Personally, don’t have a problem treating myself to a new bag every so often but I’m not the type of person that would save money for one specific bag, especially if it is as expensive as Hermes. Yes, I enjoy the feeling of getting a new bag, especially when I buy it with my own money, but it isn’t a necessity for me in life. Instead of having only a few expensive bags, I would rather have many bags that aren’t expensive because then I have more of a selection based on where I’m going and i can spend my money on things that I really want at the time. Also, with the lifestyle I have, it’s more sensible to have cheaper bags because if one gets ruined, it’s not as devastating as an expensive bag getting ruined.

I´m not so much of an it-bag fan. Luckily I´m really into timeless pieces but there are still too many “wanna have”-purses out there. Not to forget that one shouldn´t leave the house naked. Fortunately, with some sense of style, clothes don´t have to be very expensive to look good, but they should definitly have some sort of quality. An expensive purse may help, but it can never completly save a cheap looking outfit. Can´t say if I would ever buy an exotic skin if I were rich enough. Right now that’s way beyond my saving patience and financial means. It´s already hard enough now to save up for something and not letting other things come inbetween and also not changing my mind all the time, especially when it comes to colors and sizes.

Wow!!! The color looks plain. Anyway, I’ll buy many bags in order to fit my dressing. voguelande.com Won’t just buy only one bag.

Neither. Every woman needs two new bags per season. I am completely against byuing non designer labels, a handbag needs to be from a well known (or up and coming) fashion house, but there is absolutely no need to spend above a certain amount – say $2,000 to feed the need. As someone who has had many Birkins I assure you that after a while ( a short while) you want something new, fresh, more fashion oriented than a luxurious bag that has become – sorry to say – common. Kind regards to you all.

I’m a many-bag-gal myself. I tend to switch bags alot, so this is a good option for me. While I would never turn down a Hermes if it were just given to me, I just couldn’t bring myself to spend that kind of money on a bag.

It’s hard not to want the Birkin in any collection, the bigger problem is actually trying to decide if it’s wise to buy a traditional color or a color that stand out or the always recognizable Hermes orange.

I can only covet these pricey beauties until my children are grown or I sell one of them.

One or maybe two a year are me. I use one for fall/winter and then switch for spring/summer.

I am saving for an Hermes by the way. I like the Birkin and Kelly and I don’t need it in trendy colours or skins either. One or two investment pieces are all I need. The real question for me is, would these pieces be included under home owners/renter insurance??

I guess I never love one bag THAT much that it would eat 25% of my after-tax monthly income. So it is really not a problem for me! LOL!
