What do you think about this Handbag price??

[ Edited ]

It comes in several colors.  The bag is $2,375.00 - way out of my league.  I think it is a beautiful bag but definitely not the price.  I try to figure out if you are paying for the name or the leather.  lol  What do you think?  It's a Valentino Garavani.

That’s for people who have waaaaaaaaay too much money and they desperately need to get rid of it.

One would hope you're paying for sumptuous leather and meticulous craftsmanship but even as a bag aficionado, there isn't a lot you can do to a bag, especially a smaller, simple bag, to make it worth so much. My thinking is part of that price has to do with the designer label...

I think it's crazy. Anyone who has the means can spend that. But even if I did I wouldn't spend it on that bag. I'd get a classic Prada.

Valentino is a designer brand, so pricing is not out of line. The leather looks like good quality, love the studded details and there in no obvious logo - all positives from my perspective!

I think it is an attractive bag, but I would need something 3-4 times larger. 

 

Actually in looking at this bag closer I am not as interested in the main compartment as I am the strap. I like a big, beefy strap. Nothing cheapens a bag more than the thin little shoulder straps found on many bags these days.  They bend and get wrinkley (for lack of a better word).😊

The only thing that bag has going for it would be hopefully a really good grade of leather and the pink one is a good color.  Otherwise just a run of the mill, nothing exceptional something to carry your stuff in and it is too small to carry what you need.  Anyone buying the bag is not playing with a full deck.  Even if you have tons of money, it would be wasted on this average bag/  Maybe it has genuine gold hardware!

They buy these bags because they can. A big waste of money. I would rather donate to people who have nothing.Makes me sleep better at night.
