Hi everyone! I am thinking of adding to my bag collection, and here are my choices. The prices are:
Kooba Python : $895
Miu Miu Bow Malva : $1350
Miu Miu Intreccio: $1750

Honestly, I dont think I can justify $1750 for the intreccio, and when I look at it sometimes I think it looks bulky & maybe awkward to carry? I'm the same height as Rachel Bilson but nowhere near as thin! The bow is just adorable, love that color, I worry a little about the splitting bows..the python..well, I have nothing like that and the price is good. Help me out, ladies!!! Im so indecisive!!! Thanks in advance for your votes/opinions!! : )

Intreccio b/c the construction is so special

butterfly36029 · Mar 31st, 2009, 01:50 PM

ouch! melovepurse that's hard....kooba is out of the question since I don't like Kooba at all...

and then...malva bow!

and the raisin bag!

decisions, decisions...! I agree with kiki about the construction of the bag but I wonder if since it's a seasonal bag, in a year you will no longer like it....I was determined to buy it and when I finally found it, that's what I thought....and then bow...in malva....! the bow is classic....and malva is a gorgeous color! which one do you think you'll use more? lately I've been buying my bags with the thought of buying them to use them A LOT...instead of just buying a bag that I will only wear once a month! ok ok ok, in sum: this is what I say: Kooba: no. Bow: yes, gorgeous color and it's a classic. Raisin bag: it's awesome but will it go out of style sometime later this year?

Don't love python personally. The bow will most likely not go on sale, however the raisin bag just might.....

I would hate to see you spend full retail only to see it go on 40 - 50% off when the sales begin!!

melovepurse · Mar 31st, 2009, 04:15 PM

Hmmm.. its the Fuchsia Bow by a landslide!! Renato told me the color is "Ibisco" -

I guess the Intreccio might go on sale, but Renato said there is only one left!! I think the closure strap will end up bothering me on that one. Also, I just got a Rouge Theatre Balenciaga Day, so I've got a good red bag.

poppyseed · Mar 31st, 2009, 04:15 PM

I like python, but the shape of this Kooba just doesn't do it for me .the"raisin bag" is sooo adorable, but The Bow is just winning it for me, specially in that particular colour I think it's just gorgeous!!!

Get the BOW!!!

Miu 2 - has Renato told you when will the sale start??

butterfly36029 · Mar 31st, 2009, 06:23 PM

Yes please! can someone tell me if the raisin bag will go on sale? Although there's only one left, if it goes on sale...it might still be possible to get it right? Renato does wonders!!!

The bow bag never goes on sale??

melovepurse · Mar 31st, 2009, 06:24 PM

I think the sales don't start until May - so if there's only one red Intreccio, its probably not going to be there by then...!!! But, there may be more of these bags at other stores...

butterfly36029 · Mar 31st, 2009, 06:28 PM

that's precisely what I was thinking...that it might be at other stores....

meaning the Miami store....since they are not so popular yet I don't know how much they are selling..but it's just wishful thinking....I still don't know the SA's there...I was there 2 weeks ago and they were really nice to me though...

Bay · Mar 31st, 2009, 07:57 PM

The Bow, bow bow!! It's adorable.

Gerry · Mar 31st, 2009, 08:11 PM

You know, all handbags show wear after awhile. It seems to me that the split problem with the bow would be a super easy fix at a shoe repair.

Gatsby · Mar 31st, 2009, 08:18 PM

The beautiful Bow! The Intreccio looks like it could be a winner but I've not seen it in person, it might be a bag you love but don't wear often and that becomes a judgement call. The Bow you will wear and wear, plus it's very flattering to wear or carry.

anneanne · Mar 31st, 2009, 08:59 PM

I say THE BOW!! I just got Malva and it's too beautiful beyond words! Hee!! I think the season 3 bows don't have much of the spilt bow issue?

teddyraph · Mar 31st, 2009, 09:00 PM

The bow then we will be twins!! Python don't do for me & as for the intreccio looks seasonal to me.. Get the bow! GL
