This bag is just adorable...and the color is really nice and different. So to me this bag is worth the $430.

The bag is real pretty.... and if u can afford to spend 430 on a bag and be able to eat and pay your bills then go for it... but as someone said.. they only spend up to 12 dollars on a bag.. I agree with them. i only spend little on bags because there are so many out there. they dont get destroyed because I keep changing my bags daily. And I think there are some real cute cheap bags out there.. you dont even have to look hard

If you can afford it then why not?

I have a few "expensive" bags and I love them. Got them because at the time of the purchases I could afford them. And they have all lasted me for a few years to date. If I ever have a problem, I go back to the shop and have them fix them, etc.

People have different tastes and vices. So if you can afford it, no big deal.

Wow, I wish I was like you. For some reason I'm very attached to wearing bags/purses. I can't go anywhere without a bag, lol. I'll go grocery shopping, up the block and around the corner wearing a bag. Mind you....not the humongous bags eh

That is me..if I can go to the gym with my bag I will. I feel so naked without some kind of pocketbook.

well for a person who just spent $$$$$$ on my fendi spy bag.. hey if you can afford it and you like it why not... some of allyuh spend that amount of money feting and buying clothes to fete in for the month and don't even know you have spent it. If you spending your rent money on it now that's stupid... its like leasing a bmw but living in yuh mudda basement.. that's just dumb.

i love shoes, i dont mind spendng money on shoes, if i like them and i want them, i am getting them!!

brownskintrini · 09-11-2006, 10:16 AM

I'll say this.
Ain't no way in HELL i'm gonna spend over $1000 for a bag that is so easily knocked off and selling for $30 dollars on the street.
If I'm gonna spend that much, it has to be something VERY unique that not everybody and the mumma got.

To spend a $1000 on a bag, no I haven't seen any bag that will make me go crazy YET...but if I did and I have the funds I will..

For my birthday/Christmas, I want a LV bag just to say I have one

I agree...I can do that price range and not feel like I'm breaking the bank, for example I love Hype bags and they are around that price range. If I had the money and saw something that I loved, why not?

I agree if the bag gets damaged all I have to do is pay a $20 shipping fee and they will repair the damages.

I love my designer bags, especially Gucci... I've never paid 1000 for a bag though. although bags like Gucci and LV may be a little expensive, they last very very long and if you take care of them, they don't get that beat up look.

Rummy · 09-11-2006, 01:40 PM

Well I guess because I always relate dem kinda expenses to the cost of a plane ticket somewhere. Spend ya money on ya clothes & bags...I love my vacations too bad:)
