How much is too much to spend on a leather handbag?

[wheresthepopcorn]

How much is too much to spend on a leather handbag for everyday use? How many handbags does one need for everyday use?

[dexter73]

How much have you got to spend? Could be £50 to £500.

[aJumpedUpPantryBoy]

Depends on your budget. The most I have ever spent was £100.
If I could afford it I'd spend a lot more

As for how many - surely you can never have too many handbags!

Sky's the limit as far as I am concerned, but I'm a designer bag junkie. Most I've spent so far is c. £700. I have 7 in everyday rotation at the moment. Having read that back I'm not a good person to ask.

[PeriPathetic]

I'm not the right person to ask either, but I wouldn't buy a Birkin even if I could. And I have a wardrobe full of bags , also a designer bag junkie.

Spend whatever you're comfortable with!

[AmberNectarine]

yy re Birkin, boring bag and totally devalued by VB. Leaning that way on the 2.55 front too, too many WAGs tote them now.

I would rather have one bag I loved than several - if I had the budget I would spend up to £850 on a "forever" every day leather bag. That said I have never spent that much..yet...

[Hulababy]

I don't "do" bags tbh. I have one shoulder bag that I use pretty much every day, for everything - apart from nights out when i rarely bother at all. It's a brown leather Mulberry one and Dh got me it for my birthday a couple of years ago. It's lovely, hard wearing and perfect for every day.

I think you are either a bag person or not.....so what you spend depends on what you can spend and if you love the bag! I love bags and have collected them through out my adult life....from the Fendi bag over a decade ago, to when anya hindmarch nailed the concept of bags with photos, when luella was designing for mulberry....but it all started with a Tods bag after watching lady Di!!!! So I think it's really personal how much you would spend. But the sky is the limit these days!!!

[madammecholet]

Never spend more than £300 max, but have more than I need

[polyhymnia]

Same here. No yen for a Mulberry or similar but (too) easily tempted by bags around the £100.00 - £250 mark.

[NewChoos]

I really like Birkins...
I would spend up to £700 and have on a Mulberry.
I think the key is to get what you really want initially, I have wasted so much money on cheaper bags that I don't love and I then go on to get what I really wanted anyway. Must ebay...

[madmomma]

I want a bottega vennetta but oh my days the price!!!! Nothing for under a grand there, as far as I can see. I think my husband would divorce me if I spent that much

[PropertyNightmare]

I love bags and have several. If I want a new one though then I don't put much 'new' money in anymore. I tend to sell on one or two bags to fund a new purchase. I don't mind spending on bags. If you choose well and look after them then they hold a decent resale value.
