(4,950 posts)but I would not every consider paying so much money for it. For a leather bag like this, perhaps I could understand about $300-$500 in a higher end shop depending how large it is. I prefer to carry a leather handbag and I usually manage well under $100, but then I guess I am tacky and buy QVC Tiganello bags when they are on sale. But they are leather, they are good quality and hold up well. We have a Coach outlet in my area and lots of nurses I work with love going there. I don't want a bag with big letters or someone's initials all over it. I do have one Coach bag and it is no better than the ones I purchased from QVC. But then, I am not wealthy, I have no social pressures to keep up with those in higher income levels aka the jet set. There are women who have purse fetishes like shoe fetishes and it is nice that your relative is able to indulge, get pleasure from the purchase and have this experience. You never know, money has a tendency to vanish but she will always have this memory of shopping in Paris and buying that bag that fascinated her.
