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.
It's a real burden being right so often.

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.

I can't even.
Name things you would spend $500 of someone else's cash on if you then had to appear in public with it.
I'll say: Helmet, uh, blazer, shoes, crackberry, coat/jacket, trousers. Hmm. I'm not very ornamentation-oriented, but I have one of the Fellowship cloak-clasp type pins and get compliments on it all the time (geek identifier!), so I suppose the right piece would work.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My floor is a graveyard of murdered handbags, filled with receipts, half empty tins of mints, and lip glosses.
You've obviously seen the inside of my walk-in closet.

That's great, Deb. Not the exhausted part but the new hair and bag part.
