Thanks for the response! Yeah I was thinking that the prices were a bit low for the patent leather, but needed second opinions.I looked at some listings for this on the bay and saw both patent and PVC as well.
Sorry, I'm not sure which it is! For $125ish, I would guess that it is not leather. Maybe someone else will know for sure.
I looked at that one too. Thanks for confirmation. The bag is cute but now I know I can pass on the pvc.So the schoolbox tote looks like it's the made-for-outlet version of the "small coal" bag: http://www.katespade.com/signature-...color=319&start=8&cgid=handbags-shoulder-bags
Considering that the coal bag is PVC, I would say, for sure, that the school tote is also PVC.
