The Color of Money

As Kelly mentioned, the Emmys was full of black wearing gloom and doom sorts Sunday night. If Hollywood is responding to the slump, we must really be headed for depression. I have been obsessed with CNN Moneytalk myself and try as I might to not let it get to me, it’s really scary and depressing! To cheer myself up, I decided to look for a bag that is as opulent and lux as they get (without resorting to the obvious– the diamond crocodile birkin). Of course I had to check European websites to find them (someone has to cater to the Russian ladies of leisure and Chinese Tai Tais!).

Top of the list is this luscious green crocodile frame bag from Zagliani.  I have no doubt this is buttery soft, Dr. Zagliani injects the skin with silicone to ensure it’s softness and suppleness.  Lined in grey suede, this beauty combines traditional design ignited with modern technology.  The spirit of the season is telling us to purchase investment pieces that will endure many years, what could be more lasting than a crocodile bag?  Okay, so it’s ridiculous to entertain such a bag in our economy but I know we have lots of Russian, China, and Middle Eastern readers who are living la vida loca — so go ahead– indulge indulge indulge!  Us Americans will live vicariously through you until we figure out our $700 billion problem. $9,727/£5,278.00 at Matches.com

  1. This is divine! The colour, the cut, and it all! This is one of those bags that warrants the age old game “What would you do to get this?” I would starve myself? YES. I would [INSERT BLANK QUESTION] YES.

  2. Lucky for me, I live in Canada, and we’re still doing alright.

    Unluckily, I was never rich enough to afford a bag over $1000 anyway.

    But I like this well enough for an exotic. More than any other exotic I’ve ever seen, actually.

  3. I would never purchase a green bag…love this one but what would you team it with? I saw a gorgeous grey puffy zagliani in Harvey Nicks this wk think grey is big this season!

    In British Grazzia magazine a gorgeous Kara Ross tote was featured, does she do many larger bags as in the past I have only heard about her clutches. You did a feature a while bag will you do some more maybe?

    L.xo

  4. I LOVE Zagliani….I have a couple of his bags, they are just so SOFT!!! I Love this green croc.

    Tina, You’re right, This is scary and depressing–
