For Women Who Own Designer Bags Like Hermès – Curious About Your Income and Buying Habits

Hi everyone,

I’ve been thinking about designer bags like Hermès, but after some reflection, I’ve come to the conclusion that I probably have no business buying luxury bags—I’m just not in that market if I want to be financially responsible. I make a six-figure income, close to $200k, but even with that, it feels like a stretch when I consider my other financial goals.

That said, I’m genuinely curious: • For those of you who own a few designer bags, how much do you make annually (if you’re comfortable sharing)? • How often do you buy luxury bags? • Do you see them as long-term investments or are they more spontaneous purchases?

I’m asking purely to understand how others approach luxury spending while balancing financial wellness. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

Edit:

Reading the first replies made me feel like I wasn’t succeeding in my career 😅. I should’ve also clarified I’m not after an Hermès—it was just my example of luxury. That said, I’m so happy to see successful women thriving financially and equally inspired by those prioritizing different things in life and feeling happy!

What started as a simple question about a purchase has made me realize I’d love to find a mentor or a supportive women’s group. I need perspective!
