Never understand how "designers" can sell bags for $2000 when the material is no where close to that cost.

Never understand how people can buy bags for $2000. Is it really that necessary/serious?

OP, why don't you start an investment fund for her with that same $2000. The long-term outlook on that investment will supersede the "status-symbol" aspect of that LV bag. Just saying.

Blingy wheels and body kits aren't necessary either and you see $2k wheels here all the time. Heck, you see $2k I/H/E that only make 10 horsepower...

I bought a laptop backpack for $15.
I can buy a leather jacket for $100-500.
Why is something that takes like 1/3 the materials of a leather jacket $5,000.
As a guy you just gotta avoid the chicks who like $5k purses and go for the ones who don't care if its $50 from JcPennys .

I want to argue this point... but I just can't.

LV is never discounted and never goes on sale. Buy LV only from their stores. Gucci and Dior have outlets and sales. Gucci is actually having a sale now. Check out their site.

girls just want the same.

although it does seem a little rediculous for a handbag...
I just bought a 91 integra beater and it was 1800.... IDK about you, but I'm not trying to look cool and go fast, I'm just trying to get from point a to b.

LV is poser material. With all the fakes out there I never know who to trust. I work at a Lexus dealer and all the ladies coming in want the nicest shit to flaunt. I see plenty of LV bags. If you buy her a basic brown handbag with the LV logo, that's just like every other one you'll see. You'd have to get a unique design to be different.

If you want some nice leather get a Ferragamo handbag. Bitches know the signature Ferragamo buckle and respect it
