I don't bat an eye at spending money on a purse, but it has to be of the quality I expect from certain brands. To me nothing is better than a polished leather bag from HOBO (formerly HOBO International).

@Calibeach

They haven't had a Flexible jean TSV in 3 years, so why would the slight increase of approx $3 be so surprising? (59.98 to 62.98)
@RespectLife it's fleecing a loyal customer base at a time when many have tighter budgets due to cost increases of essentials. And it's the holidays, why not give loyal customers a break instead of an increase?!

@Calibeach

Fleecing? That's ridiculous!

No one is forcing me to buy it.

It is not a life sustaining item.

Overcharging for life saving meds is fleecing.

This is NOT! LOL

Much better prices.

@4kitties

A quick search for a Dooney crossbody found Nothing under $105.00, on Q anyways.

Since that is where this line of bags will be sold it is only fair to compare pricing here.

I can not tell by 'looking' at a picture that the zipper is cheap or the quality is good or bad.
@RespectLife that's a long reach to compare these handbags to Dooney.

I can easily tell the Belle handbags zipper is cheap or poorly manufactured. Every single photo of every color of these 2 bags show a ripply zipper. It was the 1st thing I noticed. Poor quality 👎

@Calibeach

How can you possibly compare a brand new item that NO one has ever seen or received?

The reviews may be helpful, but claiming it has a bad zipper or is not good quality is WAY WAY premature!

Clearly, you don't like KG....let those who do purchase what they want!

In the first presentation of the handbag, Jayne gave numbers each bag started out with — “we have 4 dozen in [this color], 6 dozen in [that color]”, etc.

So I wouldn’t be caught up in the Sold Out sign. That’s not many to begin with.

It seemed a good test launch to research interest, price tolerance, and read reviews of what needs changing. QVC does that all the time for brand new products.

Kim will be back with plenty more, it seems. Then the real handbag side line begins.

Estellee · ‎07-12-2011

QVC has a good variety of different price points for handbags. There is something for almost everyone.Then again you get what you pay for.

@RespectLife Settle DOWN! I'm stating my opinion and will continue to do so despite your dramatic responses.

The zipper and or quality of manufacturing is definitely in question based on my review of the photos of every color and I also watched a video of the presentation. Do you realize you can shop for whatever you want despite others opinions. No one is stopping you. There are cancelled orders, the wristlet is available in every color.

I bought some of her tops a year ago but now the prices for her entire line are high, higher than their other house brands. It's been commented by other posters, many threads about the high pricing for this brand. It's a house brand so we expect it to be priced competitively, but that's not the case anymore. That's why I haven't purchased anything from this brand in over a year. Yes, I think its fleecing, Q is taking advantage of her loyal customer base. My opinion.

THEY CallMe Mr Wilkes · ‎06-29-2016

There is a difference between "house brand" and "exclusive brand."

matty liz · ‎03-14-2011

With all KG is worth and has benitited from her customers, it would be nice to see her give back and realize there are some to sell to that could use a break in pricing. Now if QVC sets the prices she still has tremendous clott to object and thank people who appreciate. It may be a lost art of graditude but some still have that heart.
