Handbag Blues..

Why do designer handbags have to be so expensive? Most of the time I don't care because there are very few designer handbags that I actually like. And there are a few designer handbags that I could afford, but the ones that I really like are always the more expensive (to me) ones.. For example the new handbag that I spotted on the back cover of this month's Lucky magazine - the 'Village' Triple Zip Satchel by Cole Haan, in 'Gunmetal'. Luckily the price isn't completely out of my range (it sports a $375 price tag), but it would take several weeks of saving before I could afford it. And I would feel a little guilty spending that much money on a purse too... but maybe I should just treat myself. My birthday is coming up after all..

By the way, I'm really not a gluttonous, spoiled brat; there are designer handbags out there that cost well into the thousands of dollars range - and some people whip out their wallets for those without a second thought! I highly doubt I would ever spend more than $400 on a purse - and even that is way too high..
