rafe

Just came back from the Rafe sample sale where I had an absolute ball! Everything was 75% off or so and they had every style I've seen over the last 18 months and more. It always kills me when I see my bags for $75 (aack, I paid so much more!), but I picked up some great leather items, including their creme studded slouchy hobo (whose name is escaping me right now) that I have had my eye on, a lavender leather weekend bag, some leather totes for work, and a fabulous raffia/leather summer tote bag. Fabulous!
 
I'm a new fan of Rafe as well ... during my holidays, I managed to buy a Julianne Rivington satchel from the spring collection marked at $275 from $775. However, the new Julianne Rivington in fall colors are $550 so I don't know why the spring version was more expensive. I love the leather on my bag ... it is just so soft and smooshy.
