Christian Dior Gaucho FRAME Bag - Interesting!

[favoritethingshawaii]

It seems like Gaucho talk has slowed down a bit lately...

So I was curious to see how they were doing on ebay. I came across this style I haven't seen or heard of before...a framed Gaucho!

The swingy rustic vibe of the Gaucho doesn't seem to lend itself well to a structured framed, IMO. What do you think?

Ack. I want to say no, no, no ... the whole point of the Gaucho is to give a more utilitarian, boho kind of feel. But the framing ... says uptight to me, which completely clashes with the way the bag's design and leather look.

I like it and I think it's unique but I don't think I will pay for the price though. BTW What is the real retail price from Dior?
