A major luxury brand, obviously, and major $$s . There's something ugly-beautiful about the classic 'trophy bag' to me . It's sort of gothic, in a way. But also, the whole 'classic alligator bag' is going on, and I admit that I like the gator handle.

 

[melisande]

More!

 

[melisande]

And more!

 

[melisande]

PS I'll also admit that I kind of like the croco feet. (Corny, I know!)

It's not bad..they are cute! I probably would need a 3rd mortgage to buy one though! Ha!

 

[melisande]

Yes. Quite big league money. And not exactly available everywhere, either!

There's something fascinating to me, particularly about the trophy bag. It's so old-fashioned stodgy, yet... not entirely so. To me, anyway!

 

[IntlSet]

I think you can get a cheaper version of her bags on QVC and HSN. Bleh!

 

[melisande]

Yeah. I know there's something thoroughly ugly about it. Yet it attracts me, Intl -- it's a strange attraction, like I said. The price protects me from myself, anyhow.

hehehhee! There's something very matronly about those bags in a way that's entirely non-ironic like Chanel bags sometimes can be when carried by a younger woman. Know what I mean?

And that prohibitive price-tag practically requires that you save until you're 70 anyway!

 

[melisande]

Yuppers. Was totally thinking that too.

Don't worry, I'm not buying!

 

[melisande]

Good comparison, with the Chanel, incidentally.

 

[Bags-Of-Fashion]

how much are they? I dont like them.. nothing mysterious about them to me.. just ugly and boring. But then I love bright mad coloured bags, not conservative.

 

[melisande]

The Biltmore model, (for e.g.) is $4295.00, Bags-Of-Fashion.

And, actually, I agree with you. I think you are far wiser than I!

 

[bella1]

The feet scares me. As if when it becomes dark, they'll crawl and walk out of their shelves and attack!

 

[Bagpuss]

I kind of like the brown one- Miranda? It's unusual. The others remind me of Hermes or Chanel with a twist.
