The Most You've Ever Spent On A Single Item?

A pair of Jil Sander shoes and it was so worth it they are so well made.
 
Hmmm, probably £150 on a John Galliano skirt from a dress agency. I adore it. Maybe £220 on a Vivienne Westwood bag but as I won £150 of the money it cost, it doesn't count.
 
I spent $9,000 on a Hermes Birkin. I had spent months saving and sold almost all my other bags. Eventually I came to my sense and realized it was kind of ridiculous to be carrying a Birkin when I was trying to make rent each month so I sold it.

The good thing is I sold it for as much as I bought it for (even with my initials engraved on it). Sometimes I miss that Birkin :cry:. Oh well, maybe I will buy one again one day when I can afford it.

This Madame Hawke coat from Ruby Boutique. Only 9 of them were ever made, and it was $460. I bought it when I was 16 and it's still going strong!
 
a vuitton monogram canvas keepall 60 around 1100.00 usd it was alot of money to spend on a single item but it was well worth it becouse i know that i will still have 30 years from now
 
Chanel bag for over $2000. It's the one bag I truly treasure and love. Worth it. But will never spend that much on a bag until I have all my savings planned out...
 
£421 on a B-3 sheepskin bomber jacket.

im gonna have to be on clothes shopping withdrawn for months to come.
 
2850€ (~4000$) on a Carol Christian Poell coat. Was worth every cent.
 
A couple of months ago, £750 on a Mulberry bag (Alexa leopard) since then i haven't topped that figure up thanks god
 
An isabel marant etoile coat for 245 euros

The quality of it is not holding up well I'm afraid to say :cry:
 
My most expensive purchases are my DKNY handbag, a leather jacket and a bright pink Karen Millen dress, and I think the jacket cost about £170 (the handbag should have been £200 but was on sale). So not much by everyone else's standards.

Even if I had the money, I don't know that I would be able to drop that much on one item of clothing. Maybe if it really was absolute perfection, but even then, I'm not sure. I do follow the cost-per-wear philosophy, which is why I have no qualms about the things I did buy, but I'm a bargain-hunter by nature. I've only just thrown out a £12.99 T-shirt that lasted me over ten years, so it's hard for me to look at something that costs ten, twenty, a hundred times that, and say "well, yeah, but it'll last for ages."

That's not to say I don't get serious envy from seeing the things everyone here posts, though...
 
A four figure sum on a Cartier watch, not spent by myself but from my family to me. For myself, a Mulberry Bayswater.
