Retailers Limit Purchases of Designer Handbags – New York Times

hmm, interesting.  i wish i were rich enough so that a $1200 bag seemed “cheap” to me because where i lived, i would actually contemplate purchasing a $1700 bag.

i subscribe to the notion that there’s a world of difference between a bag that costs several hundred dollars (coach, kate spade, kenneth cole, cole haan, michael kors, marc by marc jacobs, etc.) and one that costs less than $100, but anything that’s more than $1000 (chloe, hermes, marc jacobs, etc.) likely isn’t worth it.

currently, chen covets the nikki by rebecca minkoff (around $600?):

here’s a picture of hillary duff with the same handbag – yes, i think it would better on me too.
