They had this same style in black....but I think I made the right color choice.
Black is always classic and i think they will always make the black version....
.and i thought i might not find this color and style again...

Italian leather bags and shoes online
I open this topic in a long time for a similar issue.
I want to buy Italian leather bags and shoes online, for a variety of gifts of my dear friends. Looking on google I came across this site:
http://www.tuscanleatherdistrict.com/en/15-bags
Some Italian more experienced than me can confirm if they are good products?
Thanks to all

I have a sky blue Arcadia bag that I absolutely adore. Search eBay for "Arcadia handbags." I got mine NWT for $125 and couldn't be happier with the quality and style.
Arcadia is a very good brand in Italy. Hoping to not annoy you too much, i need to make an introduction: generally, in Italy, we have different districts specialized for the fashion goods. Generally (it is not a rule, you can have always the exception).
Just to give you an example, if I need to buy italian clothes for men... I mean original handmade italian clothes for men... the best location is the Naples area (have you ever heard about marinella tie? absolutely great). If I want to buy italian shoes, I will find my paradise in the Marche, a small region in the center of Italy. Regarding the leather bags, I think that one of the best area is the zone between Marche and Abuzzo. Arcadia factory is in this district, togheter with a lot of other producers.
In Tuscany, on the contrary, we have a district specialized in other products. Tuscany, and especially the Prato town district (Prato is a little town in Tuscany), is a little chinatown. The majority of the factories are actually owned by the chinese community that lives in Italy, I am not saying that their bags are not good, but sometimes... you are able to read in the italian newspaper about big confiscation of fake bags in that area... so.... you have to be carefull.
Italy is a little country, the majority of the original factories are small enterprises with a limited number of workers and a very limited numbers of bags produced every year. If your target is to trade a high quality product, handmade, you need time to develop it, you can't produce mlns of items for years. At the same time, this is a big limit because the big commerce channels are not interested in small numbers, and so it is hard to find those products.
I hope that my post is interesting, if I can help you, I live in Italy, I have a lot of friends that work in the fashion field and I have a deep passion for shoes and bags (i love them!!!!), so... also for other questions.... if i will be able to answer, it will be a pleasure for me.

I know that this post is quite a few years old, but I was looking for info on Arcadia handbags and your post hit it right on the nose. I refuse to pay $100 + for a PVC handbag from MK, Coach, etc...when you can get excellent quality leather bag from Arcadia.
