Valentino Woven Fringe Pearl Satchel: Snob or Slob?

valentinopearlbackside.jpgI hope these pearls on Valentino's Woven Satchel are real because this bag is an outrageous € 3198.00/$4,318! There are a lot of gorgeous bags to be had out there at this price point, but this is not one of them. It's not that horrible of a bag but it's just not good enough to garner that kind of price tag. I don't mind its backside with the simple and beautifully woven leather and can even overlook the many rows of fringes resembling my hula skirt if the price was, say, $500. The shape is actually nice and it'd be a great daily bag without all the unnecessary bells and whistles.

Look, I really appreciate the workmanship it took to achieve the tightly woven leather and to hand sew the pearls but really, a simple woven tote would have worked just fine. It would have been very hippie luxe with a pair of bell bottom jeans and soft gauzy top but someone got a bit ambitious and over embellished. VALENTINO - WOVEN FRINGE PEARL SATCHEL at Luisa via Roma

What do you guys think? Snob or Slob?
