How do so many people afford such expensive handbags?12 replies

Seems like everyone and their grandma is walking around with Coach, LV or Gucci bags – I mean, I see them everywhere! These bags are hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars? How is everyone able to afford such expensive bags? Are some of them knock-offs?
I just got a modest-sized Gucci and I had to save for it for awhile, and it’s just my hubby and me (no kids) and we’ve got a six figure income. What’s the deal?

    either they are fake or they bill them on their credit cards (that is what most celebs use – credit cards!).

    Higher the cost of bag higher you pay attention to keep safe with you, forgetting other engagements! Better the modest priced bag makes more comfortable to engage yourself better than others!

    Most of them are probably knock offs. But good for you not buying a knock off and learning the value of a dollar. You’re not supporting child slave labor and terrorists.

    New York is definitely the spot to go for all those types of handbags. Especially Canal Street, take a trip there for even a day and you won’t leave without atleast 5 new bags!

    I am sure most of them are replicas and not the real deal.. im not into the replicas or name brand, i like the purses that are environment friendly and all natural.. i get all my purses from here, they have cute things and great prices.. no need to spend thousands of dollars on a handbag…
