Am I nuts? I have my eye on a vintage Hermès Constance that is my dream bag. I can’t decide if it is totally insane to spend that much on a bag though. Please help and need honest opinions! Bag is less than 10K and my NW is approx 400K. Student loans are down to around 15K at this point but I am planning an approx 100K home Reno for the fall/winter (will likely increase my home value by close to that much based on the area and what I am doing).

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV.

What’s your argument for or against replicas?
