The most I've spent is $1700 (by the time I brought it through customs, paid taxes & duties) on my Paddington. It's not something I can do very often (this was a 21st & 'Job well done' at school type gift), but I'd do it again.
The most I'd like to spend... well, I'd really like to own a Kelly some day. I don't care if they're matronly, but a Kelly in an exotic Ostrich skin (pelt with tomatoes, PeTA people!) or a Chanel Large flap in Ostrich... mon dieu.
Reasonably? The likelihood is that I'll be way older by the time I can even reasonably think about affording a Kelly, and my parents certainly aren't going to buy me a bunch of Hermes accessories to show I'm dedicated to getting on the waitlist (because I certainly can't justify blowing $600 on a scarf or a belt that has a giant, gold 'H' clasp). Furthermore, while I love Hermes, the idea of having to run through hoops to buy a bag (it's one thing to go on vacation to a larger city and easily find the bag you want when you can't get it in the colour or size you want here, it's quite another to have to do waitlist) is not really something I'm willing to do at this time.
I think $3K would be my absolute, realistic limit, and it'd have to be a really awesome bag that I couldn't think of not having. Like, a large Chanel flap in Grey Caviar leather, with silvertone hardware. I wouldn't be able to just 'settle' for a black with gold-toned hardware, or something.
