you'd have to be a moron to buy a purse as an investment - i was just pointing out that it doesn't lose its value and it does appreciate over time, but hey sticking that money in a GIC would get you better yields.

but if you have the money to make these types of purchases without thinking twic e about it (which most women that get these bags do), good for you!!! they are pieces of art.

Picasso, Rembrandt and Beethoven must be turning in their graves right now.

In all fairness, though, I did watch the devil wears prada, so I kinda get it.

Nowdays everyone is an artist, just look Subway...they are Sandwich Artist.

Oh.... i see

well, they are all hand made and you can basically customize the colour, choice of leather, etc... the rarer the leather you pick, the pricyer it gets. some of the crocodile ones go for more than 6 digits...

it takes several weeks to make just one bag, and the supply is deliberately kept low, waiting lists are near two years.

i saw a show on TLC once about the process of making these bags, never knew it was that complicated.....

apparently it's one of the few bags that actually maintains its value or appreciates over time.

 somehow I still think that buying a house is still a better investment.

so.....How's the weather today ?

$20,000-plus*

Nearly all Hermès Birkin bags, named after English actress and '60s fashion icon Jane Birkin, are special orders, like this red leather version. Most Birkins are upwards of $20,000, but the final price depends on skin and hardware.

NOW THIS IS THE BAG I WANT

Thank god my purses are affordable!!! i love jlo!! lolollolllol

Actually it depends on where you guy your knockoff!! I got a really nice looking prada from China (when my old boss went) and it looks so real that unless i tell you its fake you would never guess it!

I did buy a real LV purse about five years ago (when i lived at home and could afford to do so) and sure enough it got stolen cuz ppl could actually tell it was real!!! sucks to be me and i got it on sale for 4gs!! i know but it was so cute!!

---

4gs as in 4 thousand? please please please tell me you're joking!

I don't think we are talking about rich women though... some women go without food for a month just to buy a bag.. A BAG!!! for ***** sake!!

Well we have feet that hurt like hell too from wearing super duper high heels and I don't hear you complain about that.

The point is ANYTHING in the name of fashion.  I will need to do something drastic soon to get that Hermes bag.

I have to admit, I recently bought a fake PRADA bag, looks exactly like the real deal for the fraction of the price!


Where? Chinatown-->NY

I have actually heard that NY has some really good fakies.

My SIL went to China not too long ago and bought a whole bunch of fake things and I must admit they look good.

Here is the thing though....who are you really fooling.  If your friends say
nice bag" you are obviously going to say it's fake cuz they are your girls.  YOU know it's fake so like what's the point???

---

More like what's the point of buying the real thing??!!
You've got to be crazy to spend thousands of dollars on a bag. A BAG??? like to carry stuff around???(unless you've got millions, of course)
Only women, I tell you. Designers looooove you ... You don't see guys buying a thousand dollar wallets
