Good. We need fewer retailers engaged in the sport of seeing how high they can mark clothing and other every day items. There isn't a person alive who can't put that $3,000 spent on a purse to better use.

Amen, I So Agree with You !!! Your comment is right
on about the 3,000 purse purchase, being used towards other worth while causes. Donate to the animal shelters or food pantries. All charity need our help more then Ever ! We are too spoiled and have become too materialistic !!!

Right On greg!Hopefully conspicuous consumption will be frowned upon socially now.Nothing beats the satisfaction felt when you give regularly to your favorite charity like local homeless or animal shelters.I wish they would show that on an episode of 'The Hills'.

Ugh, a comment like yours really pisses me off. You have no idea how many people benefit/and or are involved in the sale of a $3,000 purse. First of all, the designer buys the leather from a leather house which is most likely a family business in Italy. Then, the designer must employ people to actually sew together all of the pieces and assemble the appropriate hardware on the bag. Once the bag is put together the "samples" are shown at a market where buyers (such as Tracey Ross) can buy the bag at wholesale. This would be approx $1500 on a $3000 bag. Once Tracey buys the bag she has to pay for shipping and handling to recieve it and sell it in her brick and mortar store. Brick and mortar means she is paying rent, all the utilities, security (against theft), employees, TR shopping bags etc, etc, etc. When all this is said and done she might make about $200 on the sale of this bag. And don't forget, $3,000 handbags are not sold EVERY day. She probably sells one about once every 2 weeks or so. And, that is how she makes her living. Just because you don't want to buy a $3,000 bag (and neither do I!) it isn't right to knock her business and assume she is a crook. She is just trying to make a living as I am sure you are too.
