I do so appreciate it PurseManiac but I won't be purchasing a Melie bag. I learned my lesson with the Besso Motorcycle bag. I wasn't happy until I had a real Balenciaga. Alot....and I mean alot of my purse obsession has to do with my leather obsession. I LOVE leather goods, so when I bumped into bags with quality leather I like I stick with them.
But I have my limit and I will never spend over 1000 on any one bag. My Tops now is 800. I can't see where in the world that bag could be worth 2-3K no matter how great it looks.
