Eh I guess. I've never really looked at it that way, ultimately it's just a bag.

Which you spent £500 on! I'd protect anything I'd spent that much on with my life haha.

As a male these prices being mentioned so casually make me frightened and afraid.

init... how are people not falling over in shock at spending £500 on a handbag...

The most I've spent so far is less than £20 from mostly New Look - my most recent one has lasted forever and I use it every day so I don't see much point in spending more on a handbag. But with regards to backpacks, I'd probably be willing to spend upto £40 for good quality.

I asked for a Louis Vuitton for my birthday a couple years ago (cost about 700) and I'm still using it now. I'd always go for quality because you do go get what you pay for

if it's not a designer bag then i'd spend anything up to £100, but luxury handbags are an investment. So, it's all relative to what value you place on it.

Maybe £25, unless it was for Christmas or something*

I never spend more than £25 on bags because I'm not that picky tbh

No more than £20 normally.

Most I'd spend is £45 I think, but it depends on how much you like it / how much money you have and how much use you'd get out of it I guess. I don't think £52 is too bad though. I mean, you've gone to the extent of making a thread about it so you must really like it...

Out of my own money, no more than £100 (My Longchamp, some cute bags/backpacks from newly, tiptop etc). Anything more would require asking my parents :lol:

Probably £200-£300 if it was designer and a good quality so it would last. ☺️

Handbags are the only item (Clothing related) where I think I won't spend a lot of money on lol :s Idk why...like I just don't care about them that much? As long as the material isn't bad I don't see why people would spend tons of money on it? Although my Mums hand bag collection is about £5,000lol :s

I have my eyes on a new arrivals handbag from Fiorelli, which costs £52 after discount. It's very stylish and compact - but at that price, I'm not sure whether to buy it or not. So, I'm wondering, how much money do you spend on a handbag?

Designer bags really are high quality finishing though. And they retain their value if you ever want to re-sell them. Some (Chanel, LV, Hermes) even appreciate in value so it's a solid investment.

I'm a guy
the most I've spent on a 2 messenger bags was £875 (1 Montblanc and an LV) for personal use
but
for commercial trading I've spent £3,500 on a used Hermes Birkin which I bought in Yorkshire on holiday and I took it back to London and got £8,000 from a dealer

My parents bought me a mulberry for my 18th, which looking back on it was the biggest waste of £900, seeing as I don't carry a handbag now. Phone goes in one pocket and card holder goes in another pocket
