An uggo hot, a la Russell Crowe.   Love the color, size, and chain . . . but it reminds me of a grainy turd.  While all those dots kind of creep me out, I desp want exotic skins to feed my old lady fetish that I can look past it.  Positive it's real ostrich (look at the unevenness, woo!), and it's by a brand named Oggi.  Can't really find much on it using Google -- I *think* this is diff from Oggi Domani, and from Oggi (the Russian brand)?  Maybe this can be my first real, brand-be-damned/underground vtg buy?  Max at $40-$50?

T, 11/2/10:  Per your suggestion, I emailed the seller to ask about the brand/yr.  Seller replied: "I don't know anything about the brand.  I think that it is just a one off from the 80s.  There is a brand with part of that in its name Oggi Domani. I don't think that they are related."  Haha, good to know we're on the same pg on that one!

A -- 11/6/10: Ok you're right, this bag looks like a turd.  The color and texture just do not work, ugh esp that part on the bottom left, I mean, this thing looks like someone took a normal bag and just stomped on it continuously for several hours, and then peeled the original layer of skin off.  To sum up: PASS.

T, 11/8/10: Ended at $91, 9 bids.  Not totally surprised, since it's a big ostrich bag, but it still looks like a porous turd.

Measurements: 5.5" x 7" x 1.5"

Strap Drop: 24"

Price: $345 (shopbop)

Aw, reminds me of your leyla!  Love the color, exotic skin, and woven chain.

A -- 10/27/10: Aww you're right, it looks almost identical to my leyla.  I really like the nude color, that is on my list of bags/colors I want.  Are you getting?  Why is it so much more expensive than my leyla too?

T, 10/27/10:  Nah, not getting, just wanted to show you how pretty it was. :)  Guess it's more exp b/c it's on shopbop and not sample sale website!  Yours was a good deal.

Vintage Vassar Black Alligator Handbag

Seen this listed over and over again; no one ever bids.  Usually, when an alligator is this big, and it's a Vassar, ppl are all over it . . . it's prob the crap condition.  Meaning I should prob hold out for something better too.  And look!  I remembered to add tags. :)  *pats self*

A -- 10/27/10: I am just completely lame w/nonUberfamous brands, so I have no idea what Vassar is, aside from the school.  That does look like a pretty big rip/tear tho, I'd avoid, no matter the price.
