43. I fell in love with Judith Leiber purses many years ago when I first saw

them at a shop in one of the luxury casinos (Bellagio? City of Paris? Venetian?) They were stunning little jewel-encrusted works of art. I particularly loved the cats and the flowers. Back then, they went from 2 to 5,000. I just checked her website. .6 and up.

Even if I had that kind of money, would NOT spend it on a purse (and I LOVE my purses, most of which I find at thrift stores. 25 for a 400 Coach bag). I am just weird that way.

Something else to consider. .Wouldn't carrying a 70,000 bag make one a great target for thieves? "Look at me! I have stuff worth stealing!!!"
