for those of you who have been on the board for a while, know that i'm a big dork and keep shopping spreadsheets. well, one of the items on my list for a long time has been an isabella fiore handbag. i'm a sucker for embellishment (that's probably why i want one of her bags...). what do you think of this bag? i think i could use it all year, plus it's got some of my favorite accent colors. is this the best isabella fiore bag?

hmm...i definitely like it but i'd have to see it in real life to determine if i like the stitching, seams, feel of the leather, etc. how much is it?
$535, so it's not inexpensive or for that matter super expensive. i might search for it on a site that has coupon codes if you ladies give the approval (this is one of the few purchases that i don't trust myself on...).

Oohhh, I love it. I'm not really into embellishment but I am a sucker for embroidery and that's what this reminds me of. I agree with esquiress, that to really make a decision (whether to buy or not to buy) I would have to see it IRL but my first impression is that it's a beautiful bag. So I vote yes.
I like the blue flowers..but not the orange stitching and there's something about the look of the leather in the photo that makes me not like it.
i know, looking at it, it looks shiny. hmmm.

It could just be the lighting of the photo, though..I've found it nearly impossible to tell the quality of leather based on web photos. Can you check it out in RL?
I have two IF bags - the Audra hobo (aka katie holmes bag) from last year, and a tote I picked up a few weeks ago (which is going back b/c it's too heavy, but it is beautiful). I think this one is a little too busy - which takes away from the high quality that it is. I think you can find a better IF bag.
