i think the bag is so worth it first. "bag all the way" as somebody said earlier!!! woot. the accessory can go a long way and won't be as showy as your bag. he he he, just gets me thinking how lots of people always complain and are astonished about the fact that a "little" accessory is so much or equal value to their "larger" (in size) purse. yeah, it always amazes me too but i've gotten use to the fact that's how the pricing goes.
