Not that I could buy a $500 bag now. But if I could, I probably would. I have a purse thing. And a shoe thing. It's not a good combination on my budget.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Nope, still not seeing paying $500 for a bag
If money were no object, I would. I buy at least one new bag a year. Sometimes two. One day and one evening. Also, one summer and one winter. I'm a bag buying fool.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I would never object to someone else buying me a $500 bag, but I treat purses roughly, so it'd be a waste. I'll get one (cheap, usually at work), fill it with all the garbage imaginable, get it dirty, then move on, moving only things like the wallet, checkbook, and iPod into the next.
My floor is a graveyard of murdered handbags, filled with receipts, half empty tins of mints, and lip glosses.
Speaking of, time to clean.

Because books.
I have a purse thing.
If I was spending someone else's money, I'd buy a $500 bag -- but only if I looooved it and thought I'd use it forever. I have a purse thing, too -- and I always buy at least two a year.

If money were no object, I'd be buying jewelry, not buying bags.

I'm with Connie. The only way I could pay $500 for a bag is if it either was guaranteed to last for the rest of my life or if it had antigravity. I'm much more inclined to spend that kind of money on gadgets, antiques or art.

Are there orgasms in it? A Pulitzer prize? Probably not then.

I'd be such a boring rich person. I look at designer stuff and go, "You want me to pay how much for that?"

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I didn't pay $500 for it. CBS did.
The bag is beautifully constructed, will carry half a dozen hardbacks plus everything else I need to carry, and will last forever. But I don't pay that kind of money for bags, either, except luggage.
I am asleep on my feet. Must stay awake.
