Wow! I'm cheap compared to you two :P $70 is around about what I'd spend on a handbag My current handbag is a Guess one that was about $200 I think but I got it from Myer when they had a sale plus used a heap of vouchers I had saved up so I only spent $35 of my own money on it. For a designer expensive handbag, I'd probably get one from ebay.
