What's with women and designer purses?
 

Sissi Rossi, Prada, Gucci, Coach, Christian Dior, Burberry, Hermes, Tods, Robert Cavalli, Fendi, Miu Miu, Kate Spade, Valnentino, Rafaello, Gianfrance Ferri, Chanel, Diesel, Louis Vuitton, Longchamp, Francesco Biasia, Versace, Celine, Rafia Basket, Daks London, Denise Razzouk, Borbonese...

I don't get it.

What's with their obsession for expensive brand purses?

It's all fuckin ugly "designer" handbags to me.... :helpme:warning:1orglaugh

I have never heard of even one of those........ LMAO

I use whatever I can find that costs shit and holds all the things I need it to....... in mine you will find, gum and candy for those "keeping the kids quiet" moments....... a wallet, for those rare times I actually have money and the kids haven't taken it.... and pens of every sort....... that's about it. I don't need designer to carry that. LMAO

Hell, I could carry it in a brown bag and I'd be happy. rotfl

Not all girls are like that. I have some designer stuff, but I get it from a friend that sells fakes, and only because I like the shirt/bad ect. Most of the times I make my own shirts, and a pair of normal jeans are fine for me. You can buy 10 dresses for the price of one designer dress.

The only thing I don't save money on are shoes. I need shoes and lots of them!!!

same reason people buy all other kinds of designer clothes and expensive cars

Here in Los Angeles you just have to go downtown and for like $20 you can get all sorts of "designer" handbags. :1orglaugh

I have an aunt who smuggled some awesome black market louis vuitton from Korea last month. Such good knock-offs a dealer was almost fooled.

Actually, we were walking out of Rich's/Macy's today and I saw this cool big lime green Coach purse. I loved it! I would never have bought it though. Not because it was $240, but because I can't jusity spending more than $20 on a bag to hold my dirty cash, credit cards, kleenex, and tampons. LOL
:1orglaugh

I'm with you. There is always a $15 purse that looks like the $700 purse. :)

My girl says... "cash is not dirty, it's beautiful". And she has a point. Why wouldn't you carry your money in style and glamour? :Graucho

Exactly!
Plus its a lot more economical to get a new purse to go with different outfits and such!

Amen......... LOL

If I can't get it on clearance or cheap as hell, then I don't have the need for it. I am not the type. LOL

My husband wanted to get me this really nice ring once and I told him to spend the money elsewhere, I didn't want to have to always be conscious of it being there....... or God forbid NOT being there. So give me cheap shit any day of the week. lol

Well if you buy lots of designer purses, you won't have any cash left to put in them!

Ok, I have to admit that I actually do like alot of those purses, but I'll be damned if I will actually buy one. You can't fit shit inside of them!

you forgot TUMI

can anyone get me in contact with some of these fake LV dealers. I want the white one with the colored logos.

I'm with you on the jewelry thing too.
Get me a simple sterling silver ring and I'm a happy chick!

Precisely! Now that I could justify!

I was gonna say the same thing!

Some of these purses are pretty damn good replicas, but if you look at them you can tell they're just fake as can be... nothing wrong with that though.

I live in Dayton, and here there isn't a whole lot of places to buy the real ones, you have to go to Cincinnati or Columbus (Ohio) for those. That's one indication, depending on her has it, that it's fake.:)

Arika, you in Dayton? Sweet, didn't know you were in Ohio as well. :thumbsup

note to self, Tam is low maintenance

:winkwink:

I am with that. I bought a expencive ring, and it just magicly disapeared from my finger. I have a lot of rings and stuff like that, but I buy it all at a really cheap store, so I won't be crying if I lose them...:(


I hate handbags, I stuff everything in my pockets, or I carry a big one where a lot of stuff fits in. I always forget the small ones, so I keep on losing my wallet and stuff like that.

The one that I saw today was quite large...for a $240 purse lol.
it was probably 12"x12"x5-6"

LOL

I have enough to worry about without having to worry about losing something because it cost so damn much money.

NOW, on my computer stuffs, and electronics and so on, I won't skimp on that much. I won't buy the MOST expensive, but I want it to be good and last me a long time, so I'll spend more on this type of stuff..........

BUT if it is something I have to wear? Blah, just get me something that will do and I am good to go.

If you ever seen me walking down the streets, you'd think I just stepped off trailer trash magazine, but walk into my house and you would see things differently..... LMAO

According to the girlfriend, you need Bal Harbor shops in Florida to go shopping for purses. Cbus don't have shit. :(

I love you Tam. You should be my girl's mentor. Computer parts, huuummmmm... :Graucho

Are you sure you're not my long lost sibling?
I'm the EXACT same way.

Tam is EXTREMELY low maintenance........ UNLESS you go to buy me a computer or stereo or some shit, THEN I can get a bit more "mid" maintenance......... LMAO

My husband yells at me so much, says I am successful and I should dress and look the part........... BLAH......... I dress and wear what is comfortable. I went thru that whole "I wanna look hot" phase and I am so over it. LOL

Yeah, but Columbus is much better than Dayton.

Ever been to Dayton?!?!:)

Not really... but I know a few webmasters from that area that also populate GFY. :thumbsup

LMAO

I am a computer freak....... and I can't seem to get enough of them, BUT I have to be watched closely or I'd have a house full of the damn things...... ANYTHING computer related, I WANT it..... even though I don't always get it.

Mandy....... I wouldn't doubt it, I don't find too many women into the things I am into, and if you ARE, then you MUST be a long lost sibling, or pretty damn close. lol

I hate fake stuff.. from fake boobs to fake designer bags. Can't help it.

I personally don't think it's any place special. First chance and I'm outta here!
It's a semi-large city, but it's not up-class at all.
Some of the surrounding areas are, but there's just very, very few shops. I guess it's just a lower class of people in the actual city for the most part. :2 cents:

My girl is so excited that she found a soulmate. :1orglaugh

MMMMmmmmm....give me a sale any day!!

When it comes to purses I will NOT spend money on expensive purses for what? I don't buy trendy stuff b/c next week something new is out. I only spend a lot of money on something like a good home, nice furniture, or a good car! Even so, while we were living in Germany, we bought all our furniture in Nubert when they had sales! Bought most of my crystals in Czech, and any country that had them on sale.

I don't believe in spending 100's on a hand bag, shoes, nor $25 on a lipstick.....it's not me!!:thumbsup

Fake is soo cheap imo.. I design my jewels too and they are so cool and unique.

There are few things in life that excite me as much as purses. And one of those would be shoes.

I have to agree on the shoes part, bags don't do much for me I'm afraid

women and purses are like men with their cars.

They're cute. Well some of them! The most I've spent on a purse is $50 and then I feel guilty. I like those Louis Vuitton Murakami purses cause they're so tacky that they're cute!!

Since this thread attracts lotsa women, check out this thread please:

Its to impress other women. Regardless of what they claim. :)

:eek7

Nothing is more embarrassing than caring a fake purse and another female notices it.

Buy the real stuff or another brand but not imitations to look cool. I was at a bridal shower recently and a cell phone went off?The hostess said who ever has the fake Kate Spade pocket book your cell is ringing.

I thought it was disgusting but didn't leave since my cheap bag was in my car, but we didn't attend the wedding and sent a cheap gift :)
