Terms of Adornment, (See:
the evolution of handbags slideshow). Deb's prediction for the future of handbags? "They wont be as heavy! They'll be made from lighter materials and feature less hardware." If Deb's prediction is correct -- then, we may have found the handbag of the future. The

I especially love this Ame & Lulu lightweight tote in the popular Pantone navy color popular this season! The bag has a stylish design with “animal- friendly” leather accents!
And, most people don’t realize that some leather dyes used in purses are toxic to children and pregnant mothers! Kudos to this city tote designer that has created a fashionable, trendy bag that is eco-friendly and safe to carry!
P.S. I would spend 100 dollars max!
But, as a gift there is no limit on my husband!
I always buy them on sale, the most I have paid is fifty dollars.
nice work bag
I am on SS disablility so $50.00 is my max and that’s pushing it.
I LOVE bags, but would not spend over $50 on one…no matter HOW much I loved it!
With my budget $125 is the high end of what I would spend.
I have no limit when I really love something so how much I spend depends on how much I like it.
I don’t think I’ve ever spent more than $50. for a handbag. I find nice ones at Ross, Kohl’s and sometimes Target.
Probably $150 – $200.
I would spend 80.00, at this time..
The most I have ever spent on a handbag is 200.00. That was in 1984 .. in Dallas, Texas..
I have never spent more than 30 on a bag- I would love to own one of the real nice trendy name bags, but it’s just not in our budget and if I did buy it I know the guilt I”d feel would be unbearable.
It depends on how much the bag ” speaks” to me. I just hope it says “I’m cheap” because $100 is probably my limit these days.
I love handbags but just can not bring myself to spend more than $100!! And then it would have to be something that to me was incredibly special or when I was rewarding myself for doing something incredibly special!!!
Lately, I have become extremely careful with the spending. I’ve found sample sales that offer excellent buys on bags, etc… For me $100 would be the absolute limit.
The most I would spend is 350.00
The most I would spend on a hand bag is $250
I have found many good deals for under $100.00, but could see myself paying up to $250.00 for a bag I really liked and would wear for a long time.
I have a limit of $5,000, but rarely spend that much
$100 max
$75 would probably be the limit. You can always find a deal, so even with $75 I’d have to be in love with it and know I’d use it for 10 years (and be made out of dark brown super soft leather).
I guess I would have to answer that it depends, but budget wise I think $100. max for me
