Dang!
Those Dutchy handbags are quite fab!
Sort of a cross between Bulga (the Sassy Doc looks a bit like the pudding flap) and Anna Corinna (the Peety Cleo looks like the AC mini-city tote).

I used to think like you, that instead of spending say $1000 on a Gucci, I would spend $100 for 10 bags. Sure, you get a whole lot more bags and fun changing the bags everytime cos it's affordable to begin with. But, I would buy more of the cheaper bags and I noticed that it all added up to a Gucci at the end of the day. So, I stopped buying cheaper bags and saved for 10X$100 to get a bag that I won't toss away by next month. Think of it more of quality rather than quantity. Trust me, saving up for a bag makes the bag more beautiful to hold - I slept with my LV the first week I got her
Anyway, just my humble opinion!Cheers passerby, that web sit is already in my favourites. It just seems our friends across the pond have all the great handbags, or is it just me being female and wanting something I can't have
Well, a number of the shopping sites (eg lunaboston)do ship internationally, although for all I know the shipping charges might turn out to be astronomical.

Wow, I didn't realise import duty etc was that high! Will keep an eye out for British indie designers.
Luzdelaguna - ever bought any of her bags? Her website seems out-of-date:

Perlina bags (available at Nordstroms) are very good quality for the money, as are Cole Haan.
Also, have you checked out Roots? Several tPF'ers have raved about the quality of these bags.

I agree 100%. I don't have as many bags as a lot of you, but the ones I do have (ie Burberry bucket) are classic and make me feel sooo special everytime I get them out. I think it's wiser to save and get that very extra special bag
PS I have had my burberry for nearly 3 years...it still looks brand spanking new and makes me feel awesome everytime I pull it out...I'd rather buy the 4 bags I buy per year than say 12 or 50 that just don't "do it" after a time or two.
If you're interested in the Ellen Tracy Hartford Satchel, scour your local Macy's or Dillard's type department stores because I found it at Dillard's at 75% off! It was marked down to $67 and I grabbed it up!
I had been watching this bag for months!
I was/am SUPER excited.
Dillard's, you say?
I'm going to check mine out now? (were there any more where you found this one? I'm in SC )
