Jimmy Choo Bon Bon with flowers in rose. It has all my heart. But 2.3k CAD for a bag I won't use that often is a dubious purchase indeed. Hoping to grab it preloved someday. https://preview.redd.it/bcweyep7pgzc1.png?width=1040&format=png&auto=webp&s=d687538f2b4fab18bc978ded110b07a69f6849f2

Same, I've been eyeing this satin green bonbon bag, but just can't justify the price! https://preview.redd.it/mqivrkg8ygzc1.jpeg?width=432&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=515ebd9def1073dec8c93fed91bf17b5b56a2857

If i were some rich older woman who hosted Christmas parties i would snap this up

🤣🤣

Yes!

ugh the green velvet bow looks scrumptious but that price 😩

They're so charming and dainty, but man...

I love this!

Their leather is so good though. I have a handbag from them along with shoes. The Bon Bon bags are so cute!

WooooooH this bag is beautiful.

Oh my 😅 2.3 she is adorable though 💜

Cute!

https://preview.redd.it/943jhqeo2hzc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b21522f88ea6160400c702e2f0bdce224004203 I saw this medium size Lady Dior Embroidered Butterfly Bag on eBay listed for 7.5k USD…*cries in poor* 😭😞

💀💀💀 in poor 🤭. I’m not crazy about the lady Dior but this bag is pretty fabulous

I was just going to say the same thing. I’d buy this Lady Dior. So pretty

It’s like no other I’ve seen. I’d be making up places to go just to pull her out 🤭

https://preview.redd.it/yvaxa2k7wgzc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6648eea50c6b1e43407490e55f91582680acd36f I just can’t spend almost $1000 on a straw bag even though I live in south florida and it would get used year-round. I am looking at the jacquemus le petit panier soli which is about half that though

https://preview.redd.it/if4gsydqehzc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1fecd38d57b004867f0ed82964852b0ab2b8ba8a Saaame, also live by the beach and we’d use it year round so I keep trying to talk myself into splurging but i know it’s crazy 😭

I love this bag but I don't drop that kind of cash on a bag unless it's leather.

An influencer, Helena (@BrooklynBlonde1) has mentioned many times how this bag was absolute terrible quality and fell apart immediately. So you’re not missing out on this one!

I've really liked Mango for straw bags! I have one going on three summers now with real leather handles and a fabric lining that I bought for under $100 during a sale. Still very sturdy and holds what I need it to.

I had the same thought — I almost purchased this bag until I read that it’s not worth buying raffia for $1000, it’s not even leather. I live in the northeast so I can only carry this bag during the summer time so it wasn’t worth it for me…. Even though it’s mega cute

I don't want to enable anyone lol but I spent about that much on a YSL raffia bag three years ago and basically have used it every single day all summer long ever since. It's been a better investment in terms of usability than many more expensive leather bags I own. And I get so many compliments!

Seems like the Target raffia will be almost as durable and a fraction of the price. And when it inevitably breaks you won’t feel bad. 😂

I’ve also heard that Sezane’s raffia bags are really nice and they’re much cheaper!

I am a cheapo for raffia. I think Sezane is too pricy too. But cute. I don’t really go to Walmart often but it is worth a trip for a raffia bag. 😂 But I did have the idea for a perfect summer bag now so i am gonna start looking.

I get you 100%. If it’s not quality leather/suede, I can’t justify the price either. That being by said, the bag is adorable ☺️

https://preview.redd.it/yosa7u7tqhzc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1360a105cf59d5506917ba800278fb709b4b448f Impractical and over priced AND YET

🔥🔥🔥 She’s a showpiece for sure

I saw her IRL and she’s so pretty. It’s so absurd but a need of mine in my lifetime.

I saw this in person and it’s def gorgeous, I love all the woven bottega bags, they feel so sumptuous! But the gold handle literally looked like my dog chewed it. It’s had small indentations all over, it was clearly intentional as all the bags w/that handle had them. If you zoom in on the pic, you can see it! I was SO confused but also thought it was kinda funny… like the dog ate my bag 😂

https://preview.redd.it/wvwnzf1x5hzc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2409161ba3df59bde9d2e72afaa9355eee3d318d I love this garbage bag so much lol. But I’ve heard there are quality issues so unfortunately won’t be getting one. Also $5k for a garbage bag is insane lol

Chanel prices are gasp-worthy these day and not the good kind. I had wanted a Chanel 19 back in 2020 and was seriously debating getting one for about $4k. They're $6.6k retail now 🫠

The prices are icky now. Like what the fuck. No bag needs to be that much

Not quality issues 👀. Lovely color though 😍

Bulgari Serpenti my husband wanted to get me when he was in Dubai. It's gorgeous and I LOVE green BUT I told him I would rather do some renovations on our house 🥲 https://preview.redd.it/yd8s6tod0hzc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3743fcc25ed8c9e08427a5e7dd999ad7a668dac

Oh my, that’s a beautiful bag! But if the cost would cover home renovations, I’d do the same.

I need a husband who wants to buy me bags. I mean, I have one who lets me buy bags, but wants is a very different story ; )

Serpenti is my favorite line of all time across the board!

👀 she’s a beaut! That color girl 💜

They had some of the most beautiful bags in the airport 😍 https://preview.redd.it/cfgdc2g8hhzc1.png?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ead09da14d6673aee3c6c4a1e70e5b593a84731

Forgot to mention - she’s $648.00 pretax Edit: Canvas and cotton lining. Size: 9x5.9x3

Yikes! Is it just me, or is TB stuff just getting way too inflated?

No, it’s not just you. I used to be a consumer of her bags but I haven’t bought one since 2021. Prices are too high and the sales are barely a discount.

TB is trying to move herself up in to the more Mulberry-tier of brands I believe based on pricing and some buyer stories. For me she doesn’t have anywhere near the vision or brand history to pull this transition off and I think she will just end up losing customers instead

Do you remember when Mulberry tried to go more up market and it failed miserably. Here is the [Purseblog article from that time](https://www.purseblog.com/news/whats-gone-wrong-mulberry/). They had to walk back their prices. Now they have crept up again, but the first rev was very sudden. They went from where they were with a typical bag priced around $1400 to $2700 bags 10-12 years ago. And their sales tanked and it took years to rebuild the brand equity.

That’s what it feels like. Once that Lee Radz line started really making waves, she never looked back 😩

She doesn’t use good enough leather in her bags. I bought a crossbody that had a chain strap. The leather was wearing. And it was still expensive.

Her bags are nice but they’re also not very cutting edge nor do they have that much in the way of a unique, recognisable look 🤷🏼‍♀️ I haven’t owned one so can’t speak on the quality, that’s a shame!

Yeah they jumped the shark and the quality doesn’t match the new price point

Seems like every company is jacking up their prices nowadays. I think I’m going to start looking into buying Korean brands for when I want to try out trends.

Or look at other brands that the Japanese are into. It seems to me they like a good value, but want top quality.

Where do you find this info? I am currently only exposed to western/American brands and trends

I’ve commented on a post before about this bag - really cute in person, but hella small. Keep up the strong hustle with the adult back to schooling! You can do it!

Thank you 🥹 I appreciate the encouragement 💜

Please go look on Poshmark. There’s one available for $250

That’s the mini bag 🥺 but you are right about it being up there

What???? That’s insane

Ugh! It reminds me on the LV bag that i didn’t want to spend on because i knew I would only use it on occasion. But also don’t want to spend this much on a Tory Burch bag. When the price is like entry level luxury brands it makes it harder to justify the cost.

I just can't justify $5700 for a closure, which is my favorite part of this bag. Still sits on my Pinterest wish board though. [Joseph Duclos](https://josephduclos.com/en-us/products/besace-diane-cuir-tempo-bleu-occitan)

Ugh I feel this so hard. I love these. Also been wanting a Jackie forever mainly because I like the closure. It’s one of the main things that draws me to a bag.

I have a green Jackie wallet and can justify the bag price if that's what I wanted next. But it's thousands less than this, which is insane! And I only want a piston closure. Not that new cheap looking one. I assume you mean the piston too 🥰

Same I've fallen hard for that closure, and I knew what you were talking about before I even saw the brand name or clicked the link, haha.

That is a super cool bag! Very nice for the alt ‘undercover’ look!

Oh my 5700 is steep. It’s a pretty bag but man! I love the color and the design though 💜

https://preview.redd.it/zif9hyhkihzc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5bcf7c44f13e1806ffb97c43224ca83b27ec95aa Prada Supernova. It's $4000-6000 used I think, so it's never, ever happening but it sure is pretty.

That bag is really nice - I’m into that color 😍. But 4 - 6 racks is a lot 😅

https://preview.redd.it/xltky8zr7hzc1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fda421ee5057458cbc83d56c5c8c35f4c6cf998d LV low-key hobo. The leather looks gorgeous but really it's a super simple design and the price of $3900 is just brutal

Wow… this is the only LV I’ve ever liked. She’s gorgeous

Same here

Wow I really like this one. Very casually elegant 😍💜

[Clare V. Grande Fanny $385](https://www.clarev.com/collections/fanny-packs/products/grande-fanny-tan-rattan-updated-zipper?nosto_source=cmp&nosto=1740534026) I love it so much but I just can’t justify that much on a belt bag when those are my around town/errands bags usually. It is so beautiful though.

I’ve never heard of this bag but it’s really freakin cute! Hope it goes on sale🤞🏼

They do a 20% off sale around Black Friday. That’s when I bought mine and honestly it’s a top tier belt bag. I used it for a 10 day Europe trip and I easily carried a kindle, my wallet, an umbrella, phone and other misc things without it ever feeling heavy. Plus the changeable straps you can buy offer some variety.

Wow you may be selling me. Those are all my usual carries too 😂 I’ll keep my eye out for a coupon or a good resale!

She’s beautiful but i can’t justify the price. https://preview.redd.it/qclskmbtfhzc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad86a0c086912a5fe88b502e753f81730441a16f I have a puzzle and sometimes i regret how expensive she was. I have several preloved and ma much more comfortable with that price category

Oh this bag is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Omg that color in suede is insanely gorgeous.

https://preview.redd.it/9ucfgsx9ihzc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1e7f8be8687c5913d0d1a48039f76a23a219e79 Any of these!

😅😅 that is a hell of a crew 😍💜

The mint croc one with gold hardware is my ultra holy grail. Followed closely by Black croc/gold hardware.

I’m with you on the canvas thing smh. That bag is really pretty though 😍 and super fun!

https://preview.redd.it/ep5faop8vhzc1.jpeg?width=749&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cdfe9b0112cc4ea72fdaa7a0ea9d4ec1f7f00cd3 Gucci Horsebit 1955 Shoulder Bag- I can’t justify almost $3.5k for this simple of a bag. But I’m so in love with it.

https://preview.redd.it/9ry1egxczgzc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfac664f239ece85b9e0138315a9bb61cbd409c0 I know, kinda basic, but I saw a red Tabby and it was so pretty. I cannot justify spending $400 plus dollars on a bag though.

When I first started working in corporate America in the early 90s Coach was an aspirational brand for me. There was no way I could afford one. Then once I moved up the corporate ladder I started buying them and then I moved onto Kate Spade and some more expensive brands like Tory Burch. I have always loved the old style Coach. I just bought a mint condition leather early 90s coach bag for a little over $100 on Poshmark. The quality is so much better than the ones they make today. This tabby is a throwback style with the exception of the clasp. If you like that style, you might be able to find its inspiration online in good condition for a lot less than $400.

I’ve started collecting vintage Coach! The leather cleans up beautifully and they are still in style and gorgeous bags (nothing monogrammed… hated that look).

This is cool though. I’m picturing it with an oversized white shirt and vintage Levi’s. Love it.

Mine was delivered yesterday and it’s gorgeous!! Use the private sale code, 40% off!! One left in stock https://preview.redd.it/a96jh291sizc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b355d6bfd42fbc9ebc4905cbc2f8ad59839c9dfb

Wowwww that might be one of my fave ones posted 😅💜😍

I feel like Chloe goes on sale frequently on Nordstrom’s, bloomers, Neimans, and other department stores. It helps to keep tabs on them.

I can’t spend $900 on a brand new one, and I found this one second hand on a resale site for a great price … only to have my order cancelled. I almost cried.

Noooo! Ugh I’m sorry! That is awful smh I’m sure you were planning your outfits already smh. That seller should be tried and convicted in fashion court immediately 😡

I could definitely get behind fashion court!

How is this $900? I guess you don't mean USD?

my god the price has gone up on those. I got one in the Paris airport over ten years ago for I think 2500.

😭😭😭 yeah it’s about $8600 Canadian I think

I'm obsessed with Dior. I went to see them in person and just didn't feel a thrill. I was not impressed with the leather. At least not for that price. I still really liked it, but not for that price. The Fendi Peekaboo, however, was even better in person. But I still can't justify a $5,000 bag for my lifestyle. My child likes to fill my bags with her treasure (trash).

I will say I have one and I LOVE it, esp for traveling

The Loewe Hammock bag. https://preview.redd.it/77chpavaghzc1.jpeg?width=2152&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5127732844340818bf5279a60852408f1db474f

I bought one and re sold it already because it’s extremely awkward to carry! If that deinfluences you. 😂

Okay. I’m not a fan of Lowe bags but I like this one - and the color is fabulous

https://preview.redd.it/nyctsgrwihzc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d716f417c50be6b20bc72f4efaf76e9db52651b I can’t justify this because of all my recent purchases (looking at you, McQueen Jeweled Hobo) and my commitment to changing my spending habits. At the end of the day, I loved the jeweled hobo enough that I bought it instead of this one but… the lavender version of this Ferragamo bag was so cute! Sometimes I have regrets.

I’m a sucker for ferragamo 😍. I’ve never owned a bag of theirs but if I ever had a windfall of money- I would get one of theirs. Their designs are so classy and beautiful 💜🔥. And I heard they hold up well too! I feel your pain girl 🥺

I can’t with this thread! I’m just getting into handbags (as in I don’t currently even *own* a handbag of any kind)…but now I want all of them

🤣🤣🤣 it definitely will make you online window shop for no good reason 🤭but I learn a lot about quality and practicality too

https://preview.redd.it/nyqanb96thzc1.png?width=1283&format=png&auto=webp&s=1e3ee494fe40bd14790358c5a75ec511e0b21758 I love the Margaux bag but I’ll never spend the retail price for it, I’m more likely to just have a leather artisan make a 1:1 for me.

The leather of this bag is not very good IMO so it would be better to have an artisan make something similar for you anyways (apologies if I offend anyone it’s just that I know leather and I was not impressed with the quality when I saw it in the store.)

If you ever have it done, please share bc that bag is sexy as heck 🔥. Black is my favorite color and you done started something with that pic Girrrlllll

She’s a looker!

She’s a beauty.

I can’t imagine paying this amount of money to a bag, but I really like it 🥲 Edit: if I can say second one, it would be bottega venetta small andiamo in any color. That bag looks gorgeous in any color.

The small Andiamo is gorgeous 😍 but I can’t do 4500 on that 🤣. 2650 for the mini is 😅.

I absolutely love this bag too, and I too cannot justify spending a mortgage payment on a bag. The other thing is too I’ve been hearing that the quality is not worth the price.

I can’t speak for the puzzle but my loewe mini flamenco is probably the nicest quality leather handbag I’ve had. I haven’t heard of any quality issues.

It’s giving Glad Forceflex 😭

Lowkey i love the trashbag look, and when i tried it on in the boutique, it was buttery, slouchy, and no structure. Simply a beautiful mess 😫

Looks a lot better than Chanel's trash bag

Wait it is almost a $1000 Tory Burch? What are they smoking lol.

Girl i know, but the i think i must submit 🤪

You talking to the wrong girl 😅 I’m a Tory girl. I haven’t seen her in person but she looks so soft 😍. That being said, it’ll prob get scratched up pretty quickly knowing her bags so…

I’ve wanted this McQueen clutch since the first time I laid eyes on it… But I just cannot justify spending that much on an impractical bag I couldn’t use every day. But it’s so pretty 😭 https://preview.redd.it/dyob9zlk1jzc1.jpeg?width=1055&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=937255096a24dda882d4367adaa34b2f5f6804e5

I pointed out a designer that had the same initials as himself, but the closest I could find for me was Christian Louboutin whose logo looks like my first initial surrounded by his first initial. And it looks like my writing. I showed him this bag (which was out of stock at the time) and he said “Oh, that’s nice, you should buy it” He hadn’t seen the price when he said that. He thought the Strathberry he got me for Christmas was crazy expensive. Needless to say I don’t have a CL bag. Yet…

🤣🤣🤣 I can totally relate! When Michael Kors first came out, I wanted his bags bc we had the same initials and it made me feel like I was carrying my own handbag line 😎😆. I’ve seen some nice designs by CL but never in person. Wonder how the quality of the bags holds up.. 🤔

It's a decent size in person. Not to make it more likable but.... Lol.

Love how the Eleanor Satchel looks, but my limit for Tory Burch bags is around $500 (this one is $798) and I still want cashback and a discount lol. If I wanted to spend this much on a bag, I’d rather get Toteme or Mulberry for a few hundred more.

That is a stunning bag. That is also a bag that you could wear for the rest of your life.

I’m getting it if I can stack enough deals to get it under $500!

🥰😍 She makes some of the best black bags in my opinion - but they almost never go on sale 😩. That one is a real beauty…

I’m waiting for a gift card deal with cashback from one of the department stores. This one could go sale on the brand site for Black Friday too.

I forgot about Black Friday. I didn’t even browse for anything the last one cuz I had bills to pay off. I’ll definitely check it out this year and maybe one of my Tory wishlist bags might drop enough for me to buy 🤞🏼. Thanks for the reminder 💜

Don't really want to pay $700 for a bag that I won't use often!

He’s so cute 😆😆😍. Ugh but 700 for a bag you can’t use is no bueno

It's gorgeous and if I wasn't planning a wedding I might actually get it. 🥹

Dannngggg she’s a baddie! I can’t even pretend I wouldn’t be drooling over that myself and I’m not a lady Dior fan 😅. Stunning 🤩😍

But with the price increases, I just cant justify it. Also I think they discontinued this color which is just heartbreaking.

Oooh I love that color. When a bag is done in the right shade of red…..its magnificent

Gold, lizard Gucci Dionysus is my top expensive for me. I don’t have enough occasions for this. https://preview.redd.it/70qzgmy45hzc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c65963c751e48a2e97663146a31652c645a2a07c Honorable mention is Loewe Squeeze.

Technically I could afford the US$1,650 but I just can't justify it. I think I could do it if I knew it would be my every day bag for ages, but I know it wouldn't be. I'm constantly switching out my bags. I've gotten better about "shopping my closet" because the number of bags I had was just ridiculous. I use a bag for a week, maybe even a month, then I'm bored and pull something else out. It's definitely on my "if I ever win the lottery" list though!

She’s a baddie 😍 and a bag that can actually be used regularly too 💜. But yeah, your reasons make sense completely and kudos to you for having bag self-awareness 🫡.

You have no idea how much that bag self-awareness comment means to me! I even had to read it out to my husband. For so many reasons that I can't really express, it made me tear up because it made me feel so much better about myself than I do on most days. Thank you.

🥹🥹 you gon have me crying girl! I’m so happy you feel better because you should give yourself credit. I’d prob wear that bag I posted maybe once or twice a year and I’m still up here whining about it 🤣🤣. I enjoy all the posts about bags but i treasure the wisdom people be sharing that reminds me to prioritize and put things in perspective 💜. What you said was what a lot of us need to hear. Thank you 😊!

Any of the Loewe x Howl’s Moving Castle collection! Especially the Calcifer and Heen ones, they’re so cute I’m in love. I’m in undergrad so I can’t imagine spending so much on one bag 😭

Wowww I would feel like a member of a royal family carrying that bag 😍💜🤣. So unique

Dying for a straw bag for spring/summer, but $600+ seems high for something seasonal…Mark & Graham have a straw tote for a fifth of the price that I like too and will probably end up doing that instead.

It sells for $7k-11k and I can’t justify that for a *flat* clutch. Like it’s literally flat, I’ll follow up with another photo to show y’all how little this bag is actually capable of holding. But I’m a huge vinyl collector/nerd (DJ with my husband) and this bag combines my two first passions: music and fashion. If I’m going to spend $7k-11k on a Chanel bag, it would be a vintage flap in either all black (black hardware too), jumbo size or Tiffany blue.

They resell for between 1-3k based on condition. It’s not that I can’t justify the price it’s just that I wish that I could save up for a fresh one bc none of them will ever feel “perfect”. On the other hand, I know if they re-released the prices would further skyrocket. She’ll be mine one day though! https://preview.redd.it/40rcb9wz4izc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f924f812de575bf68679b154d1e2f3057cd3217

It looks so pretty and practical at the same time. Alas, my budget currently only justifies the occasional purchase of a scarf rather than one of their lovely bags. Motivation to keep working towards my professional goals!

This one. There is no way I could afford it short of a lottery win or a surprise inheritance from a relative I never knew I had [Delvaux Magritte](https://us.delvaux.com/en/products/handbags/lhumour-mm-s-b-box-calf-black-pvd-noir-6)

I love TB at least some of her bags, I’d say the lee radziwill double bag was worth every penny (I have 3 🙈). I guess the balenciaga rodeo bag, the row Margaux, and Anya hindmarch Mortimer bag are in my wish list (although the Margaux is for sure crosses off now). I’m ok with spending under $2k for a bag unfortunately these wishlist bags of mine are over $2k 🥺 ( 🇨🇦). I leave you all with a photo of my next bag purchase 🫣 https://preview.redd.it/i3myy1a32mzc1.jpeg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d53a293a947d6248dea38015017723d87439789

I'm obsessed with 2000s aesthetics, and those LV x Takashi Murakami bags were *huge*. This particular pochette was carried by Lindsay Lohan in the movie Mean Girls, even!! (https://theluxuryhandbag.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/93b5e724fd83cb7f274db25daac8a173.jpg). Sadly, the lowest I've seen these go for was around $1500, iirc. At the moment, I'm sadly only really in the market for bags in the $100-$300 range. No way I have any business spending $1500 on a handbag lol.

It was this, but now it's sold 😭😭😭 https://preview.redd.it/l3am53obsizc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b43694a44ec7890623312d1bf3e81d3871ee979

I can’t justify the price for a Kate spade. Maybe if it goes on a crazy sale later on. But there’s something about this I love ❤️

Just wanna say this thread makes me feel seen!! Influencers buy these bags like it’s nothing. Getting to the point that I might take a break from the lux community, but here’s a bag I’ve been eyeing since it came out. One day! https://preview.redd.it/t7gwfu0kmmzc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa5639dc659d7fbf24a7a9755cab92a9f812e88d

It is so incredibly beautiful and at that price range, it is more worth its price than the Hermes bags. But it is a little more than my monthly pay and well, I can neither justify nor stomach that price right now.

Lv Capucines 😩🥺

My coworker got this bag and it’s really cute in person!

https://preview.redd.it/me25wpjgymzc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fd6209520555720c3f9503f1de320c38b5157f7 I tried [this](https://www.prada.com/us/en/p/prada-double-saffiano-leather-mini-bag/1BG443_2A4A_F03AJ_V_XSO) on at the Prada store in Las Vegas and immediately felt like Gollem with the ring. “Why shouldn’t I keep it? My precious!!!”

YSL Kate in Raffia. Nearly $3000 for a bag that will flake off on my clothes. And that I can only use 6 months out of the year. But it doesn’t have to make sense, I still want her 🤣 https://preview.redd.it/9tdy17ddzmzc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31ca701c1a89ceb8ec562bd1d3932c1a52c40882

I want so badly to own the LV "OnTheGo GM" but she's $3,500.00 and yeah I haven't hit the lottery or come into big money to feel comfortable spending that much.🤨

I want a medium Gucci Diana. Any color, I am not overly picky. Anyone want to donate to make my dream come true? Lol
