It's GORGEOUS! I love it!! Don't you love those huge outer pockets on each side?
Yes it retailed new for over 500.00 with tax!
Every once in awhile they pop up in the outlets and you can still buy them new. I have seen several sellers on ebay selling them New With Tags, so they must still be in the outlets, but originally they were a boutique bag only. Once a bag is discontinued you can find them in the outlets for a better price, but they are still over 400.00!
Did you ever notice how much more expensive the soft leather bags are compared to saffiano leather bags?? I wonder why that is?? I have noticed that most of their regular genuine leather bags are usually 398 / over 400.00 with tax! Where as you can generally get the saffiano leather bags all under 300.00. I wonder why that is? It irritates me because I always go for the soft leather bags and they are so dang expensive! Thank goodness for sales and outlets! lol!
