carlosfalchi_closeup.pngThis may seem snobby even for us to have a $1365 bag as a Cheap Thrills but trust me I have good reason. First of all, we all love the flash and glamour of croc but shelling out multiple thousands on a bag makes everyone think twice (yes, even the Bag Snobs). With Carlos Falchi you can get a second grade croc for a fraction of the price. You make concessions, like how it's all pieced together with really bad stitching, but in a color like fuchsia, who's gonna notice? Well, we would but you still get props just for having a croc! I do like how the tail piece is used in the center as a focal point. Normally the tail is not preferable but to use the cheap part and make it a point of interest is really smart. I mean, that's a really good way to make a croc for under $2000. I like that it's matte because in a bright color and shiny would be way too much. Matte is also younger and more modern. The color is so great for the holidays and for Resort! It's all about fuchsia now so you can be on top of your game and save some money for your Chanel (you will see why tomorrow!). You can get this at Neiman Marcus.

  • I understand Kelly that you want to remember also those of us who can´t/won´t pay just for the croc of it. I saw the other color options too and...they were not nice. I´d suggest to save your cents and focus on real stuff. As you mentioned,the stitching was real bad!

  • for 2k i, too, would rather get a caviar chanel than a badly made croc clutch in hot pink.

  • LOVE the colour, design and croc skin. Pity abt the stitching. Don't know if it's because it's been pointed out, but it's hard to ignore.
