C's up, C's down!

Everywhere you look there are ladies carrying purses/handbags decorated in perfect backwards & frontwards, upside down & right-side up C's! What is with this epidemic? Why is Coach so popular? & most importantly, HOW IN THE HELL CAN PPL AFFORD THEM??? Two hundred seventy eight dollars for a New Legacy Signature Courtenay Hobo, or a Madison Op Art Sateen Isabelle for $298!!!
(These are two that I like-/ feel free to message me for an address to send one to, thanks) :P

As frugal as I am... and as materialistic as I AM NOT, I must admit, I WANT THE DAMN PURSE!
Is it necessary? No. Is it worth the money? No. Would I use it the rest of my life? No. Could I pay my electric bill instead? Yes!! SMH!

My question is.... Are 99% of women carrying a knock-off or are they really that frivolous when it comes to money??? ...I just can't see myself paying that much for a damn purse!

...What would Suze Orman say??
I must have 8 months' emergency fund, a Roth IRA & a healthy Stock Growth Money Mutual Fund, a 401K in which I contribute up to employer match, and zero consumable debt!

...can I buy the purse???
DENIED!!!
