- Replies 21
In a time where many of us are cutting back on spending and learning to be content with less, it's not surprising that some people are taken aback by those who choose to splurge on luxury items.
One Aussie woman learned this the hard way when she shared photos of her perfectly organised handbag collection online, only to receive a wave of comments from strangers who were either in awe of her collection or appalled by it.
The woman took to the Cleaning & Organisation Inspiration Australia Facebook group to share photos of her beautiful bags, writing, 'The handbag room has been organised.'

She quickly received over 3,000 likes on the post and almost 1,500 comments from people responding to her collection.
'OMG, are these all yours? It looks amazing! How awesome to have the room to be able to do that,' one person commented, with another fellow handbag lover saying: 'Be still, my beating heart; I am in looooove!'
While some commenters gushed over how pretty and well-organised the room was, others were quick to point out what they saw as a 'waste of money'.
One person wrote in the comments section, 'You could just about feed a third-world country with what these must have cost,' while someone else added, 'My husband took one look at this and went: "That's a gross example of consumerism", so I don't think this is the norm.'

The original poster later took to the comments section to clarify a few things in response to the criticisms. She revealed that she is childless, most of the bags were purchased on sale, and that she enjoys rotating between them every fortnight.
'Let me state that most of these bags are [bought] on special and not designer, but just pretty. My goal is to give the opportunity to anyone who wants to borrow one the ability to do so. Sharing is caring,' she wrote.
'Questions answered: Yes, I use them all. I rotate maybe fortnightly. I enjoy organising and cleaning out my handbags. The nice ones are mostly gifts from my beautiful friends. Yes, I have a favourite. And it is a burgundy Michael Kors bag. My best friend got it for me and started my obsession,' she added.
What do you think of this woman's handbag collection, members? Do you believe spending this much money on handbags was 'obnoxious', or do you think the woman should be allowed to indulge her wants and needs?
And while we're still on the topic, have you ever been criticised for something you spent money on, even though it was within your budget? We'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments below!
