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 really don't care for it.  I think you could get something much nicer for $500.


Honestly, it looks a bit like a hand puff-painted canvas tote to me.

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.

It's ok but IMO it's definitely not worth $500

Sorry, I don't like it. And that was before I scrolled down and saw that it's by TB, so my 1st impression was unbiased (I don't like her).

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".

Regarding the bag, I really don't like it.

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.

I think it's fun, but wouldn't pay more than $50-100 for it.

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.


BUT...


the one trisarahtops found is AWESOME!
