dior saddle bag...

wetbandit42 · Marc Jacobs

I think it's gorgeous, but I sort of agree with littlebean. I have a Chloe Paddington and as much as I love it, I don't think it was worth the $1500. But then again, that's not going to stop me from buying ridiculously priced bags in the future either (on my wish list is a Chanel).

So I guess it's a matter of how much you love it! I personally (and I speak from experience), if I were going to spend that kind of money on a handbag, I'd get something more classic, because $2000 is a lot of money for something that might be overplayed. (But I definitely think the bag is gorgeous!)

I actually like it in blue.

I have very classic tastes in high end handbags and IMHO,the Dior Saddle is overpriced. I had trouble plunking down $1295 for the YSL Muse and I got my Paddy pre-loved for a lot less than retail. I'd have trouble paying 2k for a bag that was even remotely considered trendy.

I think that your money would be best spent at the Gucci sale or investing in a Chanel/Tod's/Celine/LV with more classic styling.

That bag is too funky for the $$$. I'd hate to spend that kind of money and even a year later get tired of looking at it.

Too much $$$!

This bag is nice, but I'm not sure I can stomach the price. :(

shopaholic · Dooney & Bourke

so everyone agrees its a bit pricey, i forgot to mention that i can get the bag for 30% off retail. is that easier to swallow? should i get the bag if i can get the discount?

my rule of thumb is that if i've obssessed over an item for more than a year it's worth the money. yes, that style of bag has been around for awhile but if it works for you then you should get it.

i'm of the opinion that "classics" differ for everyone. while there are other bags that might be safer investments, if you're never going to use them, then it's still a waste of money.

i almost got that bag in brown last time i was in vegas ! i really like it, but since you work at gucci, you could have your BF get you 3 bags for that price... but it is a gift;

eh, i'm no help at all.

I agree w/ honey on this.

Personally, I think there are cuter bags at that price point, but high end bags are an individual decision. Birthday gifts are made for getting something you might not normally buy yourself!!
