OK, yeah, it’s only been a day and I’m already going to break my resolution. This is not a collection worthy bag but hey, a girl has got to have fun, right? If you need to buy a whimsical bag for drab days and then pass it down to your teenage cousin when you’re sick of it, you can do so with this for only $220!! Totally worthy of a throw away bag, this metallic purple alone holds enough virtue to justify the cost!! It is printed microfiber and if you think that that is cheesier than printed python on leather, well, you are right but you are wrong if you think that’s a bad thing cuz two wrongs make a right in this case. It is so overly cheesy, like the jelly birkins, that it is actually edgy and cool. Besides, who cares? You get some attention, scoot around town with a flashy bag and all without sweating your wallet. It comes in bronze and silver but this purple is the ONLY one that is cheesy fab. At Neiman Marcus for $220.
to honest, I don’t think $220 is what I would call a throw-away sum of money in current financial climate . I would prefer to add this amount to my savings and then eventually treat myself to something special. Don’t know about US but UK is in deep economical crisis and people are being urged to save up.
I have heard this tote is selling very well. It’s, well,” a handy tote”. That’s all I would say.I think the metallic is fun and there are times when you really don’t want to carry an expensive bag, but I usually do anyway!:) Carlos Falchi is a lovely person.
Pretty ordinary bag though metallic purple…I wouldn’ t throw away this sum of money on it. it doesn’t worth it even though it would go pretty well with jeans=)
This bag is cute. Kelly have you seen The “Jenna” Beirn bag you posted a few months ago in purple? LOVE!!!and like you said, you can pass it down when your over it, in my case my daughter would be more then happy to take it off my hands…
Yes, I have seen the Jenna in purple! I would get it except my sister has it in turquoise and it totally fell apart on her =(
Love, Kelly
Kelly,
Happy New Year! I saw this bag in SAKS today and I have to respectfully disagree. It is simply not worth $200 when one can score Linea Pelle’s and Corinna & Foley’s on sale. The bag is poor quality, wrinkles easily, and looked v. cheap. I couldn’t believe how flimsy it felt (it also felt oddly itchy) to the touch.
Sorry!

Oh I kinda like this bag! And I can almost afford it! I agree with Felicia though, I think I would rather try to find a Foley & Corinna on sale or something, but if this bag ever got down to around $100 I’d be all over it! Love the metallic sheen, it would be so nice on a dreary day like today.

I bought this bag when you originally wrote about it. I have not had any problems with my bag.
I have 2 of the Jenna bags and have no prob either.
kelly, I thought you said you had bought the Jenna.
B as you know I got 3 of these bags thanks for your help on that one!! Wow purple is it like the bright pink I got?!
Kelly none of mine have fallen apart and I now use some as bags to carrg magazines and files in for work and play!!
L.xo
Hi Lotie, The purple Beirn is really really cute, I’m thinking I MUST have it!!! go to Beirn.com you will be able to see the diff color swatches…
Oops, sorry Lottie, I guess the other “t” in your name didnt want to be typed in =)
Hmm, well, $220 is still above my means, but as I’m not yet 19, I’ll stand in for anyone who hasn’t got a teenage cousin or daughter when they want to get rid of this bag…
Any takers? 🙂
It’s a very cuite bag but I agree with Ashley and Felicia, I don’t think I’d spend $200 bucks on it especially if it’s flimsy. With the tough economic times ahead, I’d like to get a bag I know will last especially if I’m spending a lot on it. 🙂
I just bought it in Bronz yesterday at Bloomies for $98!!! Check out their sale!
i like this tote as an easy carry-all cheaper than a LV neverfull, but i’m worried about durability.
