Pricey shoes and bags?
Permalink Closed

Two part question:

1) What is the most you have ever spent on a bag? On boots? On a pair of shoes (non-boots)?

2) If someone were to give you money to buy whatever bag, pair of shoes, and boot you wanted, what would it be?


My Answers
1) The most expensive bag I ever bought was a $560 LV. Shoes: probably $70 Naturalizer. Boots: $200 Banana Republic.

2) Bag Marc Jacobs, just under $1,000

Shoes: I love the red soles on Christian Louboutin's shoes $535

Boots: I wouldn't mind having these (I couldn't find any tall ones at the moment) Jimmy Choo $650

For me - since I'm not into handbags, the most I spent was on this black leather one ON SALE from JCP for $35.00, orig. $70.00, I think. LOL


I just spent $75.00 for some burgundy leather boots from Sears, but I'm looking to get a price adjustment since they're back ON SALE for $54.99. LOL


Hmmmm-----for shoes, I'd have to say $50.00, my middle name should be FRUGAL, but honestly, I have some really nice things, even if they're not very expensive.


I'll have to find some KILLER shoes/boots I want, and will update this later.

Hmm. Bag - I can't recall exactly but a bit over $100 for a Gucci, back in the day (early nineties). Most of my bags are in the $50 -$80 range, though I am hunting Gucci's on eBay - not sure what ever happened to mine!

Shoes - again, just over $100. Calvin Klein black heels. Most of my shoes are in the same range as my bags, though I'd love to be able to afford pricier ones. Kate Spade in particular - they fit my feet very well.

Boots - $130. Franco Sarto - DH bought for my b-day last year, so it's kind of like I spent the money. Otherwise $75 is my max (AK boots at DSW).

If I had a bottomless purse though...

I'd buy Manolos and Louboutins! Maybe some Choos, Nancy Geist...the list is endless. I always tell DH that if I somehow got on WNTW my first purchases would be a pair of Manolos and a pair of Louboutins...and then I'd settle into the clothes shopping. *s*

Boots - I'd spend big bucks to get boots that really fit me around the calves. Most boots are too wide for me, even though I don't have the skinniest calves in the world.

Bags - I dunno. Francesco Biasia comes to mind, and a Gucci, of course..I'd probably get several in really nice, soft leather. I don't care abou the names so much as the quality of a good, pricey bag. I hate LV's so those aren't even in the running. *s*

I'll preface this by saying that I am cheap and usually only buy on sale.


Bag: I never spent over $100 on a bag until this week, when I bought my MJ Lola:


MJLola2.jpg


It is used, though, so I only paid $210, and it STILL took me 2 months to save for it. (I am house-poor.)


Boots: probably $70? It is 70+ degrees here about 11 months of the year, so I won't spend more than that.


Shoes: I don't think I've ever bought any shoes that cost more than $100.


ETA: sorry, I forgot the second part of the question. With unlimited funds, I'd buy these:


handbags: Gucci. Can't find a pic of the one I like, though.


Boots:BGOF6_X3423(Choo) Shoes: (Louboutin)

The most I have spent on a bag, was about 150$ 4 years ago in a small boutique in Rome; it was 50% off!


On shoes: I think about 100$ in Italy for a pair of pumps 3 years ago (they still look nice, tho, confy & not outdated)


Boots: 195$ (+ shipping & handling) on JCrew Chelsea boots, last month in chestnut. Worth every penny!


If I could buy any bag, it would be a Hermes Birkin, in red! As for boots and shoes, I really don't care that much...

most spent on a bag: i paid around $400 to be the second owner of a slightly used LV monogram tote — which i have since sold on e-bay. i have a few other bags in the $300-400 range. my husband bought me a MJ multi-pocket last christmas which is my most expensive bag. OH! i'm editing to add that i forgot about my prada bag... which is also in the $1000(+) range.

most spent on a pair of boots: almost $300 on my via spiga suede wedges. all of my other boots were purchased on sale for between $60 - $200.

most spent on a pair of shoes: around $500 for my manolo sandals. most of my shoes cost WAY less that, however. i think my next expensive pair was my black kate spade heels which were on sale at saks for $170. i usually spend between $100-150 for shoes. (i DO NOT have a closet full because of this fact)

i'm not even thinking about my next bag, boot or shoe purchase right now, so i don't think i can answer part 2. although, wait... there is a bag on my wishlist... and i think i may be getting it for my birthday:

$450

1.  Bag- $200 for my new Anthropologie bag.  I love it so much!


Shoes- maybe $40?  How embarassing...


Boots-$30 for my Target cowboy boots.  I live in FL though so no need for boots


2.  Bag I want-  the black horsebit Gucci hobo that CarrieS has on hold.  So beautiful.


Shoes- Any Louboutins.  I love the red heel also.


Boots- Not sure.  Cute ones .


 


 


Hotcocoa, I love that red bag too!  I keep staring at it on the Anthro website


(me in amazement of bag)------>

1) What is the most you have ever spent on a bag? On boots? On a pair of shoes (non-boots)?   The most I have spent on a bag was a black croc embossed one at an Aigner outlet last year.  It was $80ish.  That was alot for me since I am really not into bags.  I think they are pretty, but they don't give me a charge like shoes.  Even with shoes though, the most I have spent is about $85 and for boots about $95.  I have yet to cross the $100 mark on shoes, but I feel it is coming before long.


2) If someone were to give you money to buy whatever bag, pair of shoes, and boot you wanted, what would it be?






NMOF6_V5234$475


NMOF6_X3768manolos $495


Brown Combo$200ish  I know that is not alot for a dream pair of boots, but I am a little obsessive about these right now.

1) On a bag, $1420 (plus another $30 for overnight shipping ) on a large black leather Gucci Horsebit hobo---It should be here in 1.5-3.5 weeks!!
-On boots, it's a rough tie between $140 for my Uggs and about the same cost for my Doc Martens back in high school
-On non-boots, about $36 bucks for my Chucks or Vans
2)I would LOVE to have pair of Jimmy Choo black, pointy stilletto boots.
-For bag, I don't really want anything else, except for the random, cute and cheap totes
-For shoes, probably just a really nice, good quality pair of black or tan ballet flats. Like Sue London or Delman

1) What is the most you have ever spent on a bag? On boots? On a pair of shoes (non-boots)?


My Tano cost $159. I have a few Coach bags, but they were all gifts. My most expensive boots are my Uggs (Uptown) at $180 (give or take a few dollars, it's a little blurry)... I'm not really a boots kind of girl, I guess. My most expensive shoes cost me $129 from Aldo.


2) If someone were to give you money to buy whatever bag, pair of shoes, and boot you wanted, what would it be?

Bag: I'd get a Botkier Medium Trigger in gold


NMOF6_V5662


Shoes: a pretty, pretty pair of Manolos


NMOF6_X7736


Boots: KORS Beaverton... again, I'm not much of a boots girl, so I tend to lean toward New England weather-proof boots

$1200 on a bag, $550 on shoes (this is NOT typical, although I wish it was).


Dream bag is the Devi Kroell python hobo, dream boots/shoes are the Tara Subkoff ones on Shopbop right now OR Devi Kroell python pumps (I have a python obsession right now and her stuff is beautiful).

If I had unlimited funds, I would buy a Hermes bag or a Chloe paddington bag. Shoes, I'd go for some sexy Manolo's or Choo's, and for boots some Choo's.
