Ever since I saw a Derek Lam purse I know I won't be purchasing in this decade, I've been obsessed with blue patent leather. Have you seen any blue patent leather purses that don't cost $1,500? I have 3 kids to send to college!
ankorchick....are you anywhere near a Dillards? They carry Antonia Melania (sp), and their summer line has a cornflower blue patent leather that is really pretty. Don't know if that is your thing, but the bag that I am thinking of ran about $250 or so. And I think their Gianinni Bini line might have had one, too.
For some reason, I still love the blue Erotokritos. I've looked at all of these and nothing compares to that! I prefer the smaller basquet style, the big one would prolly drown me.
