With purses and shoes, it's either your "thing" or it isn't and there's no explaining it to those that don't get it I've paid that and more but most of my bags are cheap. But CUTE! LOL! I say if you can afford it, go for it. I tend to see things and wait to buy them and then obsess until I go back to get it! I don't have alot of bags but the ones I have I adore and regardless of price I get them because I love them! It could be $20 or $200. Life is indeed too short. Enjoy!
