    I could justify spending $300, but like you said, I couldnt justify spending any more than that! I have so many fakes from Malaysia & a couple in particular I get many comments on.

    If I loved it, and I knew it wouldn't be putting my family out in anyway, I would spend $300 on a bag for sure!

    If you'd asked me a few years ago, I would have said no way but I reckon I've bought a lot of handbags under $100 that have broken so these days I pay a bit more - generally between $2-300 and generally from Witchery. I'm a bit more blase about it these days because I only spend that much on handbags that will last a long time and that I will use a lot. I wouldn't spend that much on an 'occasion' bag eg. for a wedding that I'm only likely to use a few times.

    Holy moley Here I was thinking my $100 baby bag was 'spensive. That's the most I've ever spent on a bag.

    However, bags just aren't my thing. I once spent nearly $600 on a vintage magician's box that i knew I was never going to actually use (the thought of taking it to a kid's party just scared me too much, and it was too small for stage) cause that is my thing. And I bought it just to look at! If you love it and want it and know you will get use (or viewing pleasure) out of it, go for it. I say it's a good investment.

    I probably wouldn't spend more than ~$70 on a handbag but I did spend close to $300 on my nappy bag which I now use as my handbag!
