Good for you!!!
As a conservative I shop around on Craig’s List and buy lots of GOOD QUALITY things second hand. I would NEVER in this life spend a thousand dollars for a handbag or any handbag. I spend my money more wisely than you it seems for I would not agree that spending a thousand dollars on a handbag is a good investment in fact it’s nothing but a total waste of money. I live debt free...my house is PAID for, my vehicle is PAID for, no credit card debt, raise my own food and NO I would not agree that spending a lot of money on an item guarantees quality. I reuse and recycle, that to me is being more conservative than spending gobs of money for unnecessary things like handbags and patio furniture.
You and I are both debt free so we agree on that. Second hand is also very good place to find things. On hand bags, we disagree.
