I serched and could not find a thread on this bag but wanted to get some opinions as I was interested in buying one. I've seen Jennifer Lopez and Kate Hudson to mention a few names with this bag but was wondering if any TPFers out there owned one.

Does anyone know if these bags are at Saks? I would like to know if you can use the 20% off F&F.

They have two style bags. The one pictured above and a smaller version that has one long chain and two smaller chains that you can use. That one was $995 ish? When bloomies had their F&F they told me i could use it towards it. I passed because I couldn't see myself spending that amount on something that wasn't even leather but yesterday I saw a woman rocking it and it looked really nice

I missed out on the Bloomies F&F too because I didn't know they carried it. I also saw it in Instyle magazine and they have a new Nude color that looks really nice. I think if I could get it at a discount I would feel a little better about it. I wonder if they carry it at Nordstrom. I know they would price match Saks F&F.

I LOVE this bag, but feel like it's a lot to spend on a bag that's not real leather! Any thoughts on this? Do you think it's worth the price tag even if it's not leather? I have gone back and forth on this bag for months and I feel like I should just cough up the money, buy it and move on... I went an tried it on yesterday at Nordie's and it made me want it that much more!! Does anyone have this bag that could share some insight and thoughts? Many thanks!! :flowers:

^Ah, I actually LOVE that it has SHW! That's why I feel like it's so perfect, the Black & Silver combo...at least for me! :smile1:

It's not that I care that it's not leather, it just seems like a lot of $$$ for a bag that's not leather, kwim?

OK, you want opinions, so I'll give you an honest one:

I don't like it kuz it looks sloppy to me when worn. By itself, in the photos used to sell it, it looks kinda interesting (though still not something I personally would go for), but when carried by a person it looks like a dark plastic kitchen bag to me.

I also would not pay that kind of money for such a bag.

However, that's just me. I'm a hardcore believer in buying and using whatever bags YOU love, regardless of whether or not they're "in" and how others feel about it. If you love it, rock it.

I love Stella McCartney bags, and they are made very well. I'd rather spend extra $$ on a well made bag, and Im not at all convinced leather is any better than quality animal free or recycled materials either...we're not talking about walmart vinyl bags. I used to love my Balenciaga bags, but the leather quality went down as they became more popular so I had to be just as careful with them. I bought a 700.00 leather amenity kit that was a disgusting mess. That said, the SM bag looks nice, but I guess you'd have to see it IRL. If it looks anything like those dreaded Chanel garbage bags from a while ago, it's a no go....I wouldn't have spent over 1000 on one of those either, but I have on their large denim bag.

Also, where does it say that SM uses PVC? The research I've done says she doesn't (one source is here on TPF's blog), and at one time I think it was on her site that she doesn't use PVC or petroleum. Can you site your sources as to where there's that claim, and if this is something new?

^^I am not sure what exactly they are made of, just says faux leather on all the sites I have found... I never personally cited that it was PVC, just said it was not leather.

I have seen the bag irl and imo it looks nothing like a garbage bag! I agree that I wouldn't spend a dime on any bag that looked as such regardless of the name! As for Balenciaga I understand your plight. I have a love/hate relationship with Bal b/c I love the look of their Bags, but the quality and wear of the leather is really too much for what you pay imo and I really can't stand that "worn" look, while I know some love it.

As for the Falabella, I guess maybe the fact that it's not real leather could be a plus as far as time and wear. Maybe it would hold up better in the long run... That's what I was hoping to find out, if anyone here owns one and how that it was wearing!
