How much did your bag cost

All this LV talk has me wondering, how much people spent on their everyday bag.

ETA: How long do you keep your bags? Are they everyday bags or do you switch? Daily/seasonally?

I mainly use two bags. A work & a home.

The work bag is a Longchamp large tote & I bought it full price, so it is in the $100-$200 range and the most expensive bag I have ever purchased! Chat Icon (I have a coach briefcase, but it was a gift.)

My red leather everyday bag is from Daffy's. I forget the brand, and the price, but it has held up well, and I love it & get compliments on it. I am sure it was under $75.

Re: How much did your bag cost

I rotate based on my outfit and season, but most are in the $250-$500 range. 95% of my bags are Coach, but ALWAYS from the factory store, never retail price Chat Icon

Re: How much did your bag cost

The bag I use almost every day was $17 at H&M. I've had it for about a year. I've used it almost every day since buying it. It's starting to wear out in places, but it's not real leather (I don't use/wear animal skin) and I'm starting to tire of it anyway.

The other one is a Tokidoki Le Sport Sac bag I got for like $20 in a thrift store..it's a messenger bag.

For me to spend more than about $40 on a bag would be a splurge.

Re: How much did your bag cost

I don't even know how much my work bag was. I bought it close to 5 years ago from NY&Co so it was def less than $50. It's sturdy and big enough to hold file folders. (It's rectangular shaped) I have a mix of other inexpensive weekend bags that I change out based on season and outfit. Again, all under $50. My most expensive bag is a Coach crossbody bag and it was a gift from DH.

Re: How much did your bag cost

Don't think I've ever spent more than $30 on a bag (guess I'm cheap!) LOL. Most are from sales at Kohls or Target or someplace like that. I like having lots of bags of different sizes & styles & changing them up based on what I'm wearing. They last for years but I'm not too hard on my bags. I only own one name-brand bag (coach) that I got with a gift card.

Same for me. I have maybe about 20 or so that range from $700-$2500. I love ALL of them bc I bought them for their classic styles and still use some that are almost 10 years old. I also keep them in really good condition to pass down to my DD!Chat Icon

I don't spend more than $150, that's my cut off. Used to spend more when I was single.
If I see a bag that's more I'll wait for it to go on sale or get a coupon or I don't buy it no matter how much I love it, refuse to pay more. same goes for shoes (bit more for boots, depending)

Re: How much did your bag cost

$100 from the Coach Factory Store. I couldn't justify spending more on a bag. That's just me. And I wear the same bag every day because I want my (or in the case, DH's) money worth!! I got it for my birthday in March and I will probably use the same bag through the rest of the year and some time into next year!

This is just me and my opinion, but if I could afford a bag that was over $250, I'd find something else to do with my money than buy a bag! And I looooveee bags! Again, me and my opinion. To each his/her own.

Most of them, under $200, maybe one under $300 (all Coach). I tend to buy them at the outlets to save money.

Re: How much did your bag cost

I buy most of my bags at TJ Maxx or Marshalls. Around $40-60. I have one Coach that was a gift from a client and another that got stolen out of my car, a gift from friends.

Re: How much did your bag cost

i have alot of bags, the least expensive being around 400 for a Rebecca Minkoff, a couple of Diors, Chanels, a gucci, LV, that range from 1000-4000

I am a bag fanatic and keep them in immaculate condition, put their tissue back in when im not using them and rotate them often.
