I suppose there are really two types of people in this world — those who like the finer things, and those who would never spend more than $30 for a purse and then wear it with absolutely everything (regardless of the whole matching or clashing conundrum) until the straps break and then finally, reluctantly, buy another.

Hint: I’m not of “the finer things” ilk. If I had money just burning a hole in my pocket, I would either do more work on my house (aka The Money Pit) or give it to the poor. But buy an entire collection of overpriced leather pouches to carry lipstick? Nope!

That said, I don’t mind a little window shopping at Von Maur!

Okay now that I’ve started right off with a silly tirade, let’s just take a breather here to acknowledge the awesomeness of dswigle@dswigle and the splendid weekly phenomenon that is Market Friday. Each week you can travel the world from the comfort of your phone, laptop, iPad or computer and see how people shop, what they buy, and what caught their eye that week, all across the globe. All thanks to this fun community hosted by dswigle@dswigle!

So what do you suppose the price tag might be on the above pink Coach bag?

350 clams! And in that rather garish color, is it going to be your everyday handbag? I don’t think so!

Now, don’t worry, I’m not going to go on and on about prices (although it’s possible I will reveal another price tag or two). Let’s just enjoy some window shopping, shall we?

I mean is there anything more fun than an entire rack of cute designer bags for affluent teenagers? (Oops. I let my sarcasm slip in there!)

Seriously, now, I’m pretty sure this was the largest collection of handbags I’ve seen of any kind, anywhere, let alone bags by big brands like Coach, Kate Spade and Michael Kors. It went on and on. I did not even take photos of all of them.

Ready for another price check? Maybe I just fell off the turnip truck and others expect these kinds of prices. For me, they make me feel a little light headed!

Here it is, the next big reveal. Here’s a handbag that is literally the size of your hand. It would be the perfect size if you needed to carry your actual hand in a bag. (Ew! I did not intend for that to get weird.)

Okay let’s look at some really colorful bags! Would you wear this one? I mean without feeling completely self-conscious the whole time?

How about this one?

Wait, there’s more! (Including another price reveal!)

Of course their are subdued colors as well, for the business executive, important business trip or business lunch!

That is it for my Market Friday post, my friends! Thank you for stopping by! If you have a love of designer bags, I hope you don’t take my silliness too seriously! I just grew up in a family where every penny counted and the idea of spending that kind of cash on a purse is quite foreign to me! But I bet it is fun to own a really nice designer bag!
