I hope you can check one out in person. From my own experience, there is just SO much competition out there and every single brand jacks up their price point and it's getting so crazy - although in the last couple of years, several brands have either gone out of business or have falling sales, kwim?
I personally would not want to pay full msrp for this bag - but that's just me. For starters, it is just over $1k cad so I get very, VERY picky here and it's made in China. I fully realize that hand bags made in Italy are well over $1k now coming closer to $3k for many brands. To be fair, I also have a huge handbag collection so I had no excuse to pay full msrp for the Berlin bag - any Berlin bag! But getting it discounted in mint condition was a no brainer - I snatched her up in 5 seconds. She is gorgeous and not ridiculously heavy.
