I remember when I first ran across Gryson (must've been prob 4-5 yrs ago) and saw their bags on sale for $200 on their website (linked) (doesn't look like their website is really functional anymore) . . . I *almost* bought it, but still felt it was a bit much. I even contemplated getting their Target line, but PVC doesn't sit well with me. Can't believe they go for $100 easily now . . .
A -- 12/25/10: First of all, MERRY X~MAS!!!!!
Okay so onto the serious stuff: Is it possible that I am more cheapo now than you?!?! I tend to view all Gilt pricing as inflated now; I think I wouldn't want to pay more than $60 for any of those bags!!! (and honestly would probably prefer to keep it under $50 incl. shipping) I mean, if you can get a severalthousanddollar retail bag for under $100, then these -- Bill Blass? Gryson? -- should be faaaar cheaper. (granted these are NWT, but still, I probably f*ck up my stuff to the point of needing repair in about a week, so it makes so very little difference). Dammit T, I blame you partially for my descent into the icantbuyanythingeverythingmustbefurtherreducedbyhalf approach to shopping!! =P
ps. I do love the color of the pink tho, but would prolly not care about getting snakeskin/suchquality for a less "classic" color
T, 12/26/10: LOL, I love how the bags are more serious than christmas, and dude, maybe you are more jew now!!! Prob would've bought Gryson had I not accumulated so many bags this yr, and, if I could think about it longer (stupid Gilt and having so many things sold out so quickly). Thought $100 was a fair deal for that!
