A $1000 handbag is not expensive. If it is quality and it lasts for many years, it is a better deal than cheap bags that wear out from poor quality construction. It is much less wasteful to buy quality.
It is to someone whose budget only allows $50 for a purse. You don’t think $1,000 is expensive for a handbag??? I’ve never spent more than $50 and have gotten some pretty nice ones on sale at Carson’s, Kohls. Where do you shop lol?
You forgot the sarcasm tag.
A thousand dollar handbag is NOT expensive? And you label yourself a conservative? You must be joking.
Very high quality and with a lifetime warranty. However, their highest-end bags (nearly $2000) only cost around $50 to make with all manufacturing costs factored in.
Even with marketing, shipping and retail overhead beyond the factory, I can't see how they justify such prices. I think the status and hype is more important than the quality. Not-hyped manufacturers that make the same quality similar-looking bags but charge “only” a few hundred don't do too well while chinese knockoffs fly off the shelves.
