Aren't we vain, silly and shallow. What a waste of reading time, money (in the case of buying such an item), and horrid waste of resources better spent elsewhere. Mankind - womankind - we really do need to get a life.

People are starving all over the world, and we are actually reading about this!

Just popped in here to say AOL--you are getting so much like a cheap tawdry tabloid it is disgraceful. THIS is what is occupying American minds? Sickening.

as a husband i would never let my wife spend more than 1500 on a purse. 2000 tops. not a penny more than 2500. a guy has to draw the line somewhere. any more than 2500 is ridiculous. people are starving to death.

feel sorry for those so rich woman. they need a life. so many people need food and housing and we are concerned about a purse.

everyone else who commented... SHUT UP. get over yourselves. ok people are starving, whatever... whats wrong with a little bit of entertainment? obviously all of you read this article, so you all must be vain and shallow as well. no need to deny people of the little things that may put a smile on their face or give them something interesting to think about (or dream about), just because you are soooo uppity. some people enjoy fashion. whatever you do with your free time is as much a waste of time as this article.

If you're not rich, you can still have a stylish handbag.

Now that's a handbag!

Nuts
I spend nn 25.00 on a purse
I would rather take a vacation

Go to the GOODWILL and you can pick up a prada...guiccia coach for $20.00. Thats my style.Then you,ll have money to go into these purses.If I was rich I would not carry a purse.I would have my very own personal banker with me and snap my fingers and say....Billy Boy pay the clerk please.

I more than meet that criteria. And I don't give a shit about buying one of her purses. That is why I laugh about AOL and its "buyers." This isn't "real" at all.

Judith Leiber bags are gorgeous.

Also, as this article says, the women surveyed had an average annual income of $348k and average net worth of $3.5 million. I would venture to guess that many of those women make charitable contributions that exceed most folks 5 figure incomes.... think about it, the 'general rule' is to contribute 10% of one's income to charity, in this case, that means an average annual contribution of $34,800 per year to charity. So folks, my thought is relax, worry about how much _you_ are giving to charity. What may look like a lot to you may be a drop in the bucket to someone else.

And, as for the fellow who wrote in to let us know he does not _allow_ his woman to spend more than a certain amount, I would say to you, sir, sorry honey, I make the money, I'll decide how I'll spend it. You worry about how you spend your own.

Who cares? The Hollywood crowd is a bunch of hypocrits. They claim to vote Democrat and claim to despise Republicans, but don't you know they are voting Republican so the Democrats don't take all their "hard-earned" money in taxes? Why don't they give that money to the poor that they claim to care about? What a joke they are! They make me sick when they speak out for the Democrats. Why don't they just sit down and shut up?!!

I worked selling Judith Leiber handbahs in a Neiman marcus branch for years. Judith Leiber, btw, sold her interest in the company YEARS ago. Selling them entailed having the company-issued tube of glue for the endless quantity of crystals which constantly fell off. the designs haven't been attractive since Ms Leiber retitred.
If you want to drop a few grand for a bag, bypass Chanel (badlymade for years) or Prada (trendy junk.) Invest in a Kieselstein Cord, or, better, an Hermès -- yes it will set you back five grand, but you will have it a long time. Having said that, only a pitiful ego in need of stroking spends money on this crap whenthe American middle class is fast disappearing, and ordinary, hard-working people are losing their homes to foreclosure.

BLING!

Goodnite my PAMPERED ONES!!!!

This handbag is a work of ART? Oh, please! Only the insecure and pretentious will tell you that! I'm in favor of anyone doing anything they please with money they earned. Or inherited. But seriously, how can anyone be THIS much of a slave to fashion?
