Debating about geting a new handbag

I live in the USA and I do not have a problem finding what I want at a good price. My problem is convincing myself not to buy because I have enough.

I have 2 hand tooled purses I dont use. and I use a fanny pack as it carries all I want . Carring a purse on the shoulder I found does alot of damage to that shoulder when you carry to much in it!

I have a coach purse that my daughter gave me..I have a big brown purse my daughter gave me, and i have a Dooney & burke that my son gave me, plus a purse my husband gave me & several others ,different colors....I use one for awhile then i change and use the other for awhile, so i am always changing around purses....It gets annoying trying to find a purse that i really like when i am shopping for purses, i have to admit..I can never keep a purse very long without getting tired of it,so i change around a lot...

i have many purses, actually i dont go out much, as i am not a working woman, i odnt need them so much, but y'day when i went shopping, i saw a very fancy handbag in one shop, and what was more, the reason to get to it was it was perfectly matching to the saree i have to wear in a wedding coming near in my family, but i didnt dared to buy it ummm....ya...the cost...it was very well embroidered and wondeful, but i couldn't have carried it anywhere except parties, so i dropped the idea, i have already spent out of budget for the event, all children's shopping etc, u know, there is always some ruppes more than we plan..

I like to find bargains on purses. I only get a purse when they are on clearance. I hate to pay more than $15 for a purse, so there is no way that I would ever pay $100 for a purse.

most of my hangbags are not expensive but good quality.i am happy because i can put many stuff in any compartment.

i donot like to clutter myself,if i buy something,it usually is of high quality.i donot go for what is in fashion,so i buy a good quality leather purse,once maybe,in a couple of years.

I hardly ever buy me a new purse. I hardly ever carry one. I am very picky on the kinds of purses that I will carry also and will not spend a whole lot on one either.

If I can't find a handbag that I'd be happy with at Wal-Mart then I'll go to Target to get one. Either way, I don't usually spend more than $15 dollars on one. As long as it isn't too big or too small and can fit all of my items that I put into a handbag and can last for some time I'm happy.

Suspenseful, I really feel you on this!! I dread times when I realize it is time to get a new purse. Recently, I had to give in and buy one. The one that I had was a mess, Things were dissappearing into that "hidden hole" Do you know the one I am talking about? It is really hard to find yet you know there is one there because you can hear change but cant seem to find it? Then, a piece fell off, then another. So anyway, I went to Walmart,as well, and found nothing.Prices were right but that was about it.' Now, I like large bags too because I seem to be carrying around everything I own so, space is great in those large open bags,but, I love the benefits of smaller ones with small compartments as well because I carry small things like tweezers and stuff that will get lost in a bag that is large.So, I am always in the dilemna of which one to buy! And have never found one that meets both qualities for a decent price. I cannot afford those $300 bags and those seem to be the nicest that have both things I need. Now recently, I came across a store in my area called Marshalls. Its one of those stores that buy brand name leftovers from the high price stores. They have beautiful bags there and they are alot cheaper. They still are a little costly about $75-$100 but I really love the selection,so what I did is I kept my old ragetty one for now and am saving up for one of those nice ones.It may take a little longer and be a little more expensive but, I think it is worth it.I keep my purses for 20 yrs as well so, I will get my moneys worth! Wow, never thought I could talk about purses soo long!lol Good topic!Thanks

As for me, i don't like purses.. i prefer big bags with lots of compartments.. because i always have to bring my mobile phone, nintendo ds lite, wallet, planner, ointment, medicines, keys and vanity kit.. =)

A smaller bag helps me keep from storing a lot of junk, like receipts, which I tend to just throw into a large bag where they live for a long time. And I tend to be lazy about switching out purses, so I very rarely buy a new one. I am thinking about trying to make a purse. There is no way I would spend $100 on one, though! Way out of my price range, so no designer bags for me!

well . i always use the small wallet . just like the lotus leaf . soft and portable . many cards space can use you know . and put it into the pocket . some comfortable feels you can feeling . yeah . i like that .

No. Just buy it! If you like it, then buy it! I have a lot of purses and shoes in my closet that I will never use/wear but whatever. I love designer bags! It's about if you like it or not, not the price of it. Don't buy something that's ugly and you'll never wear even if it's on sale.

First off I doubt I would pay over $30 dollars for any purse if it is over that then I don't need it. I have large,medium, and small purses and I find I use the smaller ones most. I like my fanny pack as well when I go places so it leaves my hands and arms free and I don't have to worry about leaving it or someone getting into it like I did my regular purses.

i walk with a cane so i wanted to get another bag that has a very long strap but is big enough for all my junk. i had one that i had bought at sears, but alas, during the canadian winter, the magnetic clasp had stopped being well, magnetic. i was in the bay while on my hunt and saw some purses on sale. i ended up getting a kipling that has a plastic clip sort of fastener and it was on sale (they are generally upwards of $60-!) i had never heard of this brand, but it seems that they come from england. anyways, i paid about $30 for mine and that is shockingly high! i usually dont spend more than $20 on a bag.

I never spend more than $30 on my handbags. I usually wait till the sales are 50-75% before purchasing anything. I know by then most of the good quality bags are gone but somestimes I do get lucky and find one that I like or can fit everything I need in a purse. You know some thrift and or consignment stores sell named brands at really low prices too.

I always have a dificult time even finding a purse and I will keep it until it can not longer be held together. It is the one extra thing that I dread having to get a new handbag. Where I am I can get good deals on handbags. I don't think even my current purse cost over $45 Ainge

Finding a new purse is very frustrating for me. The strap broke on the one I like and I bought a new one at Walmart that was close to it but I just couldn't get used to it. I ended up sewing the strap back on the old one. I had one before that that was perfect in every way for me, I got it at a thrift store and I totally wore it out! I usually get my bags at Goodwill, a thrift store that carries used donated items. I never spend more than $10 on a bag, though. Goodwill has some very nice ones and quite a few leather ones, too!
