I was told, very sternly, by all who is responsible/involved with my finances to “STOP BUYING BAGS” for the rest of the year. Fair enough. Two months of work to refinance our house only to save enough money each month to buy half a bag does not seem savvy by any measure. I was fine with that decision until I saw this. No words or comments necessary as to why I am willing to jeopardize my well being for such perfection. I went through all the justification buzz words like, “investment, timeless, effortless, chic, will never buy another bag after this ever again”. Well, it’s not like rational behavior has governed my life up until this point, so what the hell! Bergdorf Goodman, here I come!! For $2800. (To my Tech Snob husband, who reads Bag Snob daily, “You can buy a new laptop every month, too”.)
Kelly. I have to agree w u that the color of this bag and the shape/structure of the bag are breathtaking in picture. Can’t wait to see it in person!
Like we ever listened? This is why we work so hard, so we can buy bags 😉
Go for it.
Simplicity can be so beautiful. Sometimes, a handbag doesn’t need to have a whole lot of bells and whistles to be stunning.
This is stunning. I can usually pass up the bags but if there was any way to get one of this class, this would be IT!
Please tell me you’re joking about buying this when you can’t afford it. Buying things we cannot afford is how we get into this recession to begin with.
Girl, a 5/1 arm is 3.50% now. You can do a 30 yr fixed at 4.50 and if you need a jumbo add on another point. The monthly savings from a refi maybuy you that bag in a month or two — I don’t know how much your mortgage is. Anywho, save your pennies.
Also, Nancy doesn’t use top of the line materials — that’s why it’s cheaper. Another reason you should save your pennies. We should all do better, because we can and we should no better especially when we know better. I wish you and your family the best.
Buying a bag like this when you already have a ton in your closet and you’re trying to refi is a total waste of money and a major uncool fail – wake up, we’re in 2010, wasting money like this is not fashionable anymore, and you’re not being a very good role model for the younger generation.
Nancy Gonzalez is one of my favourites designer in the “esotic-skin bags” and I think that her creations are simply faboulous..and in aprticular this tote is so beautiful, so chic and so glamour…only a word: perfect!!!

Wow thats quite a beauty. That said the gills reference kinda made me queasy.
There’s always a reason to do and not do something. Make your own decision, at least that way you can live with it.
Thanks for all your concern. I totally agree, I would never buy something I cannot afford!! It’s just not smart to spend all my expendable income on bags, instead of traveling more or buying a new car. I did not refi just to buy another bag, I was just making a comparison between this bag and my new mortgage as a reference point. And yes, we are in a whole load of trouble because people over borrowed BUT if you can, you should buy buy buy to help recovery efforts!! =)
Love, Kelly
