I have never understood what would compel a woman to pay thousands of dollars for a handbag. I don't care what celebrity is toting a bag around, unless the bag somehow magically generates money at the bottom of its silky liner, there is simply no justification for spending so much money on a fashion accessory. Yes, I am familiar with the theory that social status can be maintained and/or acquired through the purchase of a specific, trendy bag. But come on people, it is just a bag. How much social standing can a bag give you? And do you really want to be associated with people that would think better of you because you somehow scraped together enough cash to buy a ridiculously expensive bag? There are other, much more effective, ways to impress people.
On the other hand, I have fallen victim to more than one flashy, uber-cute bag in my life. And I understand that getting compliments on your cool new bag can lift your spirits. I am all for stylish accessories as long as you can score them at rock-bottom prices.
In that spirit, I recommend that you hop on over to Bungalow 360's website. Bungalow 360 is a small California company that makes handmade handbags, wallets, and accessories. Their bags are made of natural canvas and feature water-based ink. They have many cute, unusual designs, and best of all, they are having a wicked holiday sale. Right now, you can get a handbag for only 10 bucks!
