Welcome to tPF! Those are all beautiful bags, but the prices are extremely high. I realize that alligators are a lot harder to come by than cattle, but $30,000?

Companies tend to make just a few of these kinds of pieces to create media buzz for their current lines.

Plus, exotics are really "in" this season; however, if I had $30K to blow on a handbag, I'd probably go for Hermes

Why can't they make it leather embossed alligator?? I bet they would sell more than the real gator bags.

OMG.. no comments on the price

Dangggggg.

I like the Python Miranda more actually and it costs LOADS less.

And I totally agree I'd rather go for Hermes for exotics at that price.

The Hamptons Alligator Satchel is gorgeous but the price makes me .

 

[bagfever]

I'd rather get a Hermes too!

At first I thought the first one was $1000, and I was thinking, hmmmm, that's a nice one, maybe I'll splurge...

And then I noticed I was off by a zero.

For $10,000, you can get some serious bag, and that one is just not worth it.

I don't care how much they cost! They are beautiful SKINS, right up there with mink!

LOL! I must say on behalf of my wallet and my dh, they are glad that I am not into exotic skins! I like cows! The other stuff gives me the heeby jeebies! I will however congratulate any gal on the Coach forum that purchases one of these lovely bags!

ETA: OK, I lied. I want this one:

^^^That's exactly the one I would get, too! I saw the grey one in the store and I wasn't feeling it but this one is just beautiful! I wish the hardware was shiny palladium, though...

Yum! If I only had the $$$$$$$$$
