Faves From Gilt's Final Sale For Handbags

Since I've been on a handbag binge (bought three handbags this yr when, as far as I know, I can only use one at a time) . . . here are my gilt sale faves:

(1) Bill Blass Bow Henry Tote

Retail: $425

Gilt: $99

Material: Tumbled Leather (whatever that means)

Length: 16"

Height: 10"

Width: 6.5"
Drop Handle: 8" 

Big, roomy, classic, and girly . . .

(2) Bill Blass David Satchel

 

Retail: $395

Gilt: $99

Material: Tumbled Leather (supra)

Length: 13"

Height: 7.5"

Width: 7"

Drop Handle: 7"

Removable Strap Drop: 13"

Looks like the bby version of the former.  A poopier, more milk chocolatey brown.

(3) Moschino Cheap & Chic Leopard Satchel

Retail: $546

Gilt: $59

Material: Fabric, Leather

Length: 14"

Height: 13"

Width: 5"

Leopard.  'Nuff said.

(4) Jil Sander Elongated Clutch

Retail: $995

Gilt: $129

Material: Hardwick Snakeskin

Length: 10.5"

Height: 4.5"

Width: 1"

A bit pricier than the rest, for what it is, but how pretty in pink.  Reminds me of lipstick.

(5) Gryson Ava Shoulder Bag

Retail: $795

Gilt: $99

Material: Leather

Length: 13"

Height: 15"

Width: 4.5"

Handle Drop: 7"

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!
