This may just look like an ultra classic lady-like frame but that's why it is so brilliant and well done. You get the longevity of a true classic but the subtlety in the details make this updated and lusciously chic! First of all, Nancy Gonzalez crocodile is soft and pliable which makes it stand out from the rigid vintage croc that you're used to seeing. The shape is slightly rounded on the sides and it's more rectangular than square. Also the finish is a slight gloss instead of a big shine, which makes a huge difference, a total matte finish may look cool today but a subtle gloss is what you want for the long term. The foldover hinge closure is my favorite part, it is the perfect touch to polish off this eternal beauty. At Saks Fifth Avenue
for $2100.

The idea of a new, but yet an old fashioned-like, framed croc bag sounds fine to me. I´d buy such a bag more willingly, than a vintage bag ( who knows what it holds ). It could be something like the one presented. However, the NG one ( I once received a `Monday´version), doubts me a bit; the price for a croc one is quite low.
Yes, this bag is very low for crocodile. I still wouldn't buy it or use it because it screams old lady. Only a 20 year old or 70 year old can get away with a bag so stoggy! I'm sorry Tina, but really?
Hi Kelly:
I'm getting my first exotic bag (promotion :) Thinking about either this NG frame croc satchel or the BV nero waxed python bag. Size wise I think BV is more practical for me. And the shape of the BV bag is more appealing to me at this point. But I don't understand the price point difference (why would a croc be 1.8K less expensive). Would you mind a little education session? Thanks a ton.

Great for my day life as an attorney and for nice evenings out with my husband. Love it
I'll bet that's a typo. My guess is it should read "$3,100" which seems to be a common price point right now for some of NG bags.
timeless....luuuuurve it.
so great ,
