There is actually an opinion, I don’t remember who I heard this from, that rich people should davka buy expensive things. Like that they won’t be stingy with what they give to the poor. Going with your example of the Gucci bag. If a wealthy woman has a $10 bag, and a poor woman wants $20 to buy a bag, she’ll say here’s $5- you should be able to get something decent. Whereas now she might say here’s fifty- get a wallet to go with it.
