Gosh, I don't know! I didn't ask the price because I didn't want to get tempted!! But YOWZA it sure was tempting. Maybe QM, Tods, FF, DQ, Rose or one of the other small Alaska regulars knows. Did anyone check out the price?

I have seen lizard in black, rouge vif (or rouge garrance, sorry), olive, and vert anis; and in swift in orange, blue jean, black, and dark brown (ebene, chocolate??). The rouge one was there the second time I was there, it had not been sold. I love that bag! But I do not live a lizard pouchette life at the moment, if I did, that hot little bag would have been MINE ALL MINE!!!! BTW all the lizard bags have had RH at my store. ~~~sigh~~~~

6 or 7 KPs at one time!! WOW, CobaltBlu!

You know, it's so easy to use an exotic KP. It's definitely a very versatile bag for day/night; casual/formal. Very easy to dress up and dress down with it. One day, I can be using my croc KP with jeans (coffee morning), and on another day, with a black cocktail kind of dress.

I think Europe has the best prices. I was told a lizard KP is about ~ EUR3400.

Pazt- Do you happen to have the dimensions of the JPG kelly pouchette? How does it differ from the regular Kelly pouchette?

[CynthiaNYC]

I have a dumb question: When you are actually using a KP, is it really a clutch for all intents and purposes? I ask because the handle seems quite short to me. Maybe I just have fat little hands, LOL, but it didn't seem like a bag that I would be comfortable holding by the handle.
I'm just curious, because though I absolutely LOVE these little thingies, I have other things on my wishlist for the next year or so.

It's the same thing, WingNut.

Cynthia, I don't know if I can speak for most owners of the KP or will I just be speaking for myself and my personal experiences with the LP.

I find the handle of the KP, a real plus. Most of the time, I will have my KP clamped under my arm. But when I am getting up from my seat, I find it so convenient to be picking up my KP from my lap by its handle.

You are right that the handle is very small (I have already scratched my croc KP with my long fingernails, obviously from picking it up by its handle).

I also like to hold my KP by its sides, as I would with any clutch bag. But because mine is in croc, I tend to be a bit more careful, as I find the shine coming off rather quickly from all the handling.

I wonder if Lizard's shine would come off as quickly too.

This is Hermeslover07's red Lizard KP.

MrsSparkles, thanks so much for the answer! That was kind of what I was worried about, either scratching the bag or having the leather wear unevenly due to being "clutched". I'm not as delicate as I ought to be, at least not all the time.

I think it will still go on my long term wish list as a nice to have. That would make a nice 10th anniversary gift, don't you think?

OMG that red lizard KP is fantastic! i wish they would make it with no handle tho - and a little bit longer. it is hard for me to tuck it under my arm, i am afraid it will slip out!
