I'ven't seen the tote one yet, as it's not in my local shop (Bangkok).... All, that's I get from my husband is the flap one... that's cool...

Anyway, I don't think it's for everyday bag as its price and .... i've to be careful all time when I carry it.... not Good? Don't know.... But I think this bag would be great and look elegant at night Party, do u think so?







P/S... The Price thrilled me lots when I know it

The bag is beautiful. I am waiting for the tote, but I wouldn't use it as a day bag. I would wear it out at night with jeans and nice shirt, or if you are going out somewhere nice during the day. It doesn't look that fragile. Someone else said you can let the pearls hang and just carry the chain. I will play with it when my arrives. Looks great on you.

I FINALLY saw the Tote bag yesterday and it was gorgeous, although surprisingly smaller than what I thought it would be. Even my SA said that he was surprised it was so tiny because the photos seem to suggest a larger tote. It's such a versatile bag because you can remove the straps and use it as a clutch, or hold the handle (the pearls around the handle are gorgeous) or use the straps on your shoulders. The leather is also not as fragile as i thought it would be. I'm still thinking whether I want to get it but I've got it on reserve for me - will post pics if I finally get the tote!

I am still waiting for mine to come. After all of the positive feedback, I am getting more excited. I am looking forward to a smaller bag, because all of my bags are large.

That is a really beautiful bag. I agree that it should be used for going out though. Definitely not an every day bag. The chains and pearls are gorgeous. Everyone that gets this bag has to post modeling pics for the rest of us.

Mine is coming from Nordstroms, but I saw it in NM today and played with it. It looks really cool if you hold it thru the handle and let all the chains drop, or you can use it as a long shoulder strap, or shorter double one. You can remove chains and carry it as clutch, but I would never do that, because the chains and pearls are the whole bag. The price is still making me shiver.
