Reason #2 Why We Love Bags

Reason #2 Why We Love Bags: They have a low cost-per-use. You can spend a thousand dollars on a fancy dress and only wear it once or twice, but if you spend the same thousand dollars on a bag you love, you’ll use it over and over again for years.

Agreed. This is what I keep telling my parents when they question my bags.

Yes, cost per wear much better with handbags!

Also, handbags and shoes “make the outfit”.
The Little Dust Princess

That is one of the best reasons & I totally agree with it.

Mommy needs a new bag

Good point – time to go get a new bag ;)
Millie

Definitely agree and now I’m eying an $800 dress I bought five years ago and wore twice, wondering why I didn’t spend that money on a bag!
Maggie

Totally agree!!

I’m going to use this excuse!

This is so right. Now I want to go be economical and buy a new bag I will use for years and years. :)

Absolutely agree. I would also do a cost per day calculation, a new $2,000 bag would only cost less than $1/ per day for 10 hrs, pretty easy to rationalize the purchase .

That’s definitely one reason why I buy nice purses. Also, I plan to hand them down to my nieces one day. :)

I really love these Prada dress â€“ theyâ€™re very ladylike and proper, but still beautiful and with a hint of sexiness. Prada News They look very wearable and seems like it can go with any outfit! Although Iâ€™m not partial to houndstooth print in general.

True. Sunglasses, haircut, bags and jeans are all something that can be ammortized down to nothing if you use everyday. And now that bags have such a high re-sale value….you can justify spending whatever you want …… Right?
