Of course, I didn't say that I didn't have 10 or 12 purses that cost $30 or less ... ... all of which are of varying ages and conditions. But I agree with the person who said they didn't want to spend a lot on something that winds up on the floor of the car/restaurant/kitchen/bathroom/etc.
See you add all those purses up you have the money for a designer purse.


I don't buy alot of them new I buy most of my second hand. So what would one designer bag be to add to my collection of bags. Plus I like it that means alot that I like the purse.

I don't really use my bags a whole lot anyways. So one designer bag that is going to last me along long time. With a few of my cheapo's in between to change my mood every now and again.

I'm not into status I'm more into I like the design alot. With it being so well made I just may put out some dough when it goes on sell and have the design I like so much for along long time. I really really want that Cole Haan Whitney purse.

I've paid $250 for a Fossil messenger bag. It is well-made, has beautiful leather grain, and five years later I still use it throughout the year. It did a jaunt through Europe with me and fit everything I needed including a camera, binoculars, travel guides, plus all the little souvies that I'd buy during the day. That's the absolute most I would ever spend.

My newest purse is a $150 Tignanello bag from Macy's. It's cute and roomy and just perfect for concealed-carry, which is a huge issue for women who need a purse for that purpose. The purses custom-made for that purpose are usually awful ... just awful.

My conscience won't allow me to spend more money, but to those who can go for it, I say you go, girl!

Have never spent more than $250 for a purse. I like my money inside the purse . We spend money on houses, and education for my sweetpea. Other than that, we live pretty simply.

i've actually never stepped foot inside an urban outfitter! What kind of clothes? Youngish (under 35) or middish (35 - 45)?

The best I would do for a high-end purse would be $30 for a knock-off. I'm too cheap to pay more than that, especially since I am so hard on purses.

Normally $20-$25. I like a simple purse with the pockets I need in it to carry certain things in it and built in wallet that goes with it.

I don't go for fancyness (if that's even a word) or anything like that. It has to be a purse I can carry with me anywhere (to the grocery store, the club, out of town, etc). And of a neutral or black color (because it will go with anything I wear).
