I LOVE this 1950s alligator bag. Should I indulge?

All comments are welcomed.

Thank you in advance.

Go for it, it's super-cool. Makes me think of something Dita Von Teese would carry with one of her vintage dresses.

LOL!!!! You know you are going to buy it... You can't help yourself.

AmourCouture · Oct 9th, 2009, 04:48 PM

GREAT bag! I love the heart shape it has toward the top. Go for it!

pinkshoulders · Oct 9th, 2009, 04:59 PM

Wow, that design is really timeless and hip!

HandbagAngel · Oct 9th, 2009, 05:09 PM

What a unique bag! You won't need to worry to see a duplicate. Go for it!

ladakini · Oct 9th, 2009, 11:12 PM

Enablers, the lot of you.
I love you guys.

I am so tempted...

Beljwl, you know me so well.

Great neutral classic color, black! Can't go wrong. Fits right in today! Lovely bag! Go for it!

miu miu1 · Oct 10th, 2009, 07:10 AM

Love the bag!
Go for it!

vhdos · Oct 10th, 2009, 12:05 PM

I like it. It's unique and sophisticated.

ladakini · Oct 10th, 2009, 02:15 PM

Herein lies my dilemma. I have the art deco lizard bag that I adore (pictured in my AV) that is also black. And there is another bag I am also pining for.
1960's Woven Snake Skin Clutch Handbag with Tiger lucite

I want both but do I truly need either one?

tatu_002 · Oct 10th, 2009, 02:37 PM

I like the first one, the black its very unique

Velvet Blue · Oct 10th, 2009, 03:18 PM

I like both. Sorry, that's not really helpful.

So do I.
And that is helpful. You know how you can be so enamored with a bag and not see obvious flaws? Another's opinion becomes very helpful here.

Lisa said she would hold both for me... Now that's not helpful.

ladakini · Oct 10th, 2009, 03:33 PM

And the first bag is actually navy blue.

I don't have a navy blue bag that almost looks black... just saying...
