How much was the most expensive purse you ever bought?

[;)]

I'm just curious. I was roaming around a Parisian looking at purses (I was there to get some new Laura Mercier camouflage, but they never seem to be at the counter in the mornings so I was trying to waste some time.) I love the way some brands look, but the only expensive purses I have right now were gifts.

165 for a dooney and burke.

I've been using it for 3 or 4 years straight though. It's starting to wear out though so I am not sure if I'll get another one. I like Coach as well.

i have not found a fall purse that I like at all. It must just be me.



Shells54 -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/26/2008 9:11:14 PM)

15 dollars [:D] I love purses really its the only thing I collect but hubby has put a limit on what I can spend for one.



BlessedMamaofmany -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/26/2008 9:12:45 PM)

40 bucks
that was for a D&B knockoff that I got while living in Oki. Looks just like the 'real thing' seriously..can't tell the diff.
I love it!

I think the most expensive was $25 on sale. I got it about 5.5 years ago and just retired it when the snap on teh wallet that came with it wore out. I just bought a small purse/wallet all in one.



sisrev -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/26/2008 9:14:09 PM)

I paid $60.00 for a Phillipe purse probably 24 years ago--so it would be much more than that in today's dollars. It lasted over 10 years, and finally the zipper broke and I just got sick of it.



solo_soprano22 -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/26/2008 9:18:38 PM)

There are some D&B and Gucci purses that I love, but the Gucci purses can go for over $2,000. [sm=icon_smile_yikes.gif] I saw one that was near $5,000. My sister loves Coach purses, but they do last a long time. I met a woman in the hospital the last time I was having surgery, and she told me she still has some from the '70's that are still in very good shape.



Miss Giggles -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/26/2008 9:24:13 PM)

Yeah I don't know why my dooney is falling apart. I forgot if it has a warranty. I was told the coach ones do. I would have called and complain, except my cat chewed on the strap when I wasn't looking.

I like the burberry ones too.


Every high school student here has a coach purse. [&:]



solo_soprano22 -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/26/2008 9:33:26 PM)

I can understand buying a purse that will last long. I'd rather buy something now for a little more that will last longer... well, I would do that if I had the money. Some expensive purses that I've gotten as gifts have worn out quickly though. [&:]



Miss Giggles -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/26/2008 9:35:56 PM)

Me too. It evened out to spending 40.00 a purse for 4 years, esp since the patterns stayed the same.



artemis -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/26/2008 9:37:02 PM)

I started carrying a purse about 5 years ago when they stopped letting me take a backpack into WalMart and the mall and places like that. I've only ever had one and it was less than $15... I had a gift card to a store I don't shop at and that was the only thing I could find there that I thought I might use. I'm looking forward to replacing the purse with a diaper bag, so I don't anticipate buying a new purse anytime soon. It's not something I care about enough to spend much money on, anyhow.



isaacsmom -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/26/2008 9:58:31 PM)

Mine are usually just about functionality (although I like a cute purse) so I don't spend more than $15 or so.

Right now I'm carrying a really cute purse I got on clearance at JC Penney. It's stylish and not too huge yet with enough compartments to carry diapers and wipes and baby snacks. [:D] I only carry my cell phone, small wallet, and keys personally. It's kind of a light bronze color so it goes with all seasons, reallly.



HisCovenant -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/26/2008 10:41:12 PM)

Under $50... I'm TJMaxx girl when it comes to purses. The only purses I every pay "full price" for are Liz Claiborne, which I normally get when I have a coupon to the outlet store or they are on sale.



lexie -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/26/2008 11:07:22 PM)

Probably about $40.

I tend to buy a new purse from H&M every season. I don't buy a lot of new clothes each season so I like to buy a very in style purse to update my wardrobe. I've never spent more than $40 on one at H&M.



manda59 -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/26/2008 11:24:06 PM)

$30 - and it's lasted 3 years so far. My last one was $20 and lasted 5 years.



karlie -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/26/2008 11:29:10 PM)

I honestly don't like most of the upper end designer bags...they are much too gaudy for my taste.

I think the most I've spent was $45. I do buy good ones and my purses last for many years because I change them often depending on what I'm wearing.



uponeagleswings -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/27/2008 12:13:45 AM)

I don't think I"ve ever spent much more than $20-$30. Now I make my own. [:)] I've been itching for a new one, just need to pick out some fabric.



JJB1222 -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/27/2008 12:25:35 AM)

How about a Hermes Birkin for $55,000? JK....I saw one on ebay. [sm=icon_smile_yikes.gif] I think it had gold and diamonds on it.

I like Coach bags ($300-400), they are quality and keep their value. Plus, if you get bored with it you can sell it on ebay and put the money towards another one. [sm=dance.gif]



PopsiLufsJesus -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/27/2008 12:51:31 AM)

Oh man!!!! I think my most expensive purse and the only purse that I have ever used was around 12 dollars from Walmart...

it was cute, and I'm not a girlie girl...



ajidil -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/27/2008 3:55:55 AM)

The most expensive one I have personally ever bought was $5 on clearance at WalMart. It lasted 2 years, and really, the only reason I changed it was because my dear friend ended up buying the same one... what make it bizzare is neither of us live in America... we both were there, within 6 months of each other, and chose the same purse. We like to say great mids think a like. [:)]

I have a Bass purse right now that was a gift and I love it. I have no idea how much those run or how much she paid, but it's prefect for me. It's like this one but a darker brown.



karlie -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/27/2008 11:18:10 AM)

I have a friend who has been dying for a Coach purse and finally got one on sale for $230. Seriously, I wouldn't buy it if I saw it in a $10 clearance bin. [&o] To me, they look cheap because they are so gaudy and "busy".

My favorite brand is Nine West. I love their simple, classic styles, and they last for years. Now, we have a Nine West outlet, so I get them all at really great prices.

Yup, me too. Nine West is typically the brand I end up buying...

We have such good taste, Karlie[:D]

Coach does actually have some very nice purses, I love their all leather bags. Like THIS, except I prefer the mahogany color. However, for an all-leather purse I usually just buy Fossil.



Consecrated2God -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/27/2008 1:41:38 PM)

Mine was about $15, I think. I had to buy a new one about four years ago when I was pregnant with Timothy, because I spilled a urine sample in my old one at the doctor's office. [&:]

I can't believe I just typed that. I swore I'd never tell anyone, and here I am posting this on the internet of all places! <slaps forehead> [:@]

That one is a nice one. Most I see are so dazzling, it's crazy! Still, for the price of a Coach, I'd rather have 5 or 6 new ones from Nine West or Liz Claiborne [:D]



HisCovenant -> RE: How much was your most expensive purse? (7/27/2008 3:28:41 PM)

I like that Coach, too, and I'm like Karlie- normally not a fan of Coach style (although I am a fan of quality.) I do own a couple of Nine Wests, so our taste is probably similar. Our Nine West Outlet store closed!!
