A brand new car or a handbag?

By drodriguez Sep 14, 2008

You may be shaking your head in disbelief, but the latest "it" bag called Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork Bag retails for $45, 352. Why is this bag as expensive as a new car? It does feature a gold chain handle, but the real reason for the high price is that it's made up of samples of 15 different Louis Vuitton Handbags from the LV spring/summer and cruise lines. If you want one of these bags, you have to get in line?. There will only be a limited number being made and the fashionista's tell us there's already a long waiting list!

A more affordable and equally sought after “it” bag is the enviro-stylish re-usable shopping bag by top UK designer Anya Hindmarch. It sold out in the UK in minutes. The tote officially named “I’m Not A Plastic Bag” is made from cotton, not plastic and so far only sold in the UK. The company promises to have more in stock in mid- April and they will also be sold, again in limited quantities and colors, in other countries this summer.

If you had the money would you prefer the environmentally friendly and inexpensive bag or the Louis Vuitton?

Oh My, you know this brought up memories for me, remember the Hurrican Katrina Victims who spent her money from the redcross on a Gucchi Bag, Talk about irrate people here who lost homes and struggled to get help and are still living in tents. I would never spend that kind of money when I know there is too much good you could do with it elsewhere!

Oh My goodness! That much money for such an unattractive bag is ridiculous! I think I could find better places for my money.

I would have a lot better things to do with $45,000. Things like pay off my car and a huge chunk of the house. A handbag wouldn't even make the list.

Why, as a society, do we feel that spending money on something that you are not going to use for more than a season is neccessary? $45,000 could be used for so much good!
