I got my first Coach bag about 2 years ago. I thought it was SO stupid to spend that much for a purse and wallet, but my husband wanted to give me something nice

We've just recently had his child support end, so we can afford nice stuff once in a while now. Before, we had to pay the support and there was never any extra after bills. So I get a new bag about twice a year now, and have three Coach and one Dooney. I can't justify the expense of a LV or any of the other high end designers, even their smallest bags are a fortune

I'd love a Chanel (and do have sunglasses by them that have held up SO well

) but those are out of my reach

Anyway, the best thing by far about Coach and D&B bags is that they hold up SO well! So I figure they are an investment, because I'll be able to carry them for years and years

All much nicer than Coach or Dooney IMO and you wont see everyone and theur mother carryinf a version of your bag. I don't put LV in the same category as any of them. It's a high end handbag and all of the others are mid range. .

i agree,

personally i belive in quality not quantity, i would much rather have ONE nice bag then carry around 10 cheep ones

I know that this sort of stuff doesn't make me happy. I'm just not that sort of gal. "I think" a lot of these items are just for "SOME" to keep up with the Jones so to say. Its all in what YOU want. Whats good for "me" isn't good for everyone. Knowing that I can afford to buy any of these items is a blessing.

Knowing the bag would end up a diaper bag is PRICELESS
