i think it is really really cute, but i am not crazy about the price. that has allways been something i don't get about designer products. i can understand that they are going to cost more, and that is fine, but $500 for a bag!?! that is a little reduculous.

I was just going to say I didn't care for it, but Elle hit the nail on the head.

it's okay - I 'm not in love. plus I have a hard time respecting Tori Burch as a designer. I view her as someone who is capitalizing her socialite status and isn't a designer at all. JMO - if you love it, go for it.

Thanks ladies you talked me out of it. I think it was the puff paint comment that did it! Darn I'm just finding it so difficult lately to find a printed bag that I like!

The thing about designer products and price- I think you'll find the majority use much higher quality materials and have much higher standards when it comes to the quality and longevity of the product. Like I said, that's the majority, some brands just cost more because they can and forget about "getting what you pay for".
kmd, i under stand that they use better materials ant that the price is going to be higher and that is fine but when you are paying $500-$1000 for these items, it is rediculous. i love fashion and style and designer clothes and all, but i feel there has to be a line drawn. i know we all have a choice wether or not to buy these things and we can buy cheaper things if we want, but why should regular people have to sacrafice quality because some designer has a big head.
Are you looking to buy a printed/detailed bag? I don't know if you've seen this one or if you even like it, but I think it's really cool. It's pretty expensive ($850) but it's leather and I think it would be versatile.
If you were to get something like that, I think it would be better to go to a foreign country or something. I also totally see the puff pain resembalence. I don't like Tory Burch or her aesthetic either, pretty much, so I guess I'm biased.
