I love great leather handbags. I just recently came across a website that makes all great leather goods from Florence, Italy. Who doesn't love leather from Florence? My daughter's BD is coming up and she is in need of a great brown leather satchel. I went to this website and I was pleasantly surprised. They have bags of every description. I clicked on handbags and I found bags in the $300 range. Not for me. But I continued to scroll down the page and to my surprise they had three great looking, fine leather bags on CLEARANCE. These are $300 bags for $89.70. If you sign up to receive their emails, you get an extra 20% off the clearance price. Although the shipping and handling is quite high.I got the Baccelo bag and when I received it.....it was great. For that price for great Italian leather. You can't go wrong. The website is: Floto.com. Happy shopping!!

Very pretty bags! Thanks for posting the website info! {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Not speaking strictly in terms of VB, as I don't buy the brand, pretty as some summer bags are, I have no real desire to own them and have not historically bought any of the pricey florals, summery patterns or pastel leathers, though I do have a few lower cost summery bags. I too prefer the more fall and winter styles and colors. I really don't need any new bags, ever again, to be honest. At this point, my goal will be to buy no more until at least fall and then, perhaps, budget permitting, I'll consider a new style or two.

Can anyone suggest the brand name of a bag that is similar to VB but not as costly? I wear a lot of solid color clothing and think a fabric bag would be nice, but I don't even want to pay $60 for one.

Bella Taylor - at bella taylor.com or at bells department stores. Just as good quality as VB but much less pricey.

She has different styles in this leather other than a tote.

On your recommendation I ordered the Buccina in Toscana red. Ordered on Sunday, delivered on Tuesday. Gorgeous bag. Great Italian leather at a super price. I will check the site regularly for my next clearance deal. Thank you!

Ordered the Chiarra also in Toscana Red through Amazon from floto. $10.00 cheaper. Should arrive tomorrow. I have not bought a bag in about two years. I think two in a week is enough for now. Could not pass up these deals.
