Isabella Fiore comeback?

I always wondered what happened to Isabella Fiore's kitschy (and slightly tacky) bags.  It was like they disappeared overnight!  I found out they folded a couple of years ago but now a new owner is hoping to relaunch the brand.   The bag market is a different place than it was back in 2006, however, and the new owner has adjusted the prices accordingly.  Where the handbags once ranged from $695 to $895 at retail, they have been brought them down to $495 to $595.  With so many options available now and many talented new designers-- I think it will be difficult for Isabella Fiore to capture the market share it once enjoyed.  What about you-- will you be buying Isabella Fiore once again?

Me, I say let a sleeping dog lie.

  • This bag would be fun to take to a Fiesta! But, not so much for everyday. I hate it when someone takes an original designers brand and remakes it. Ruins the memories... Wal Mart, Penny's et al are littered with brands I had fun in as a teen in the 80s.. now they are just junk.

  • Here is a bag that is from my point of view is funny but at the samte time is an original one! I think it has egyptian features!

  • Don't be fooled by a brand name.

    Its a multi colored taco! What are you suppose to do with that?

  • ^haha...your so right, just googled the name now, and found out how outrageous the prices are for these insanely tacky bags, how does this work with any outfit?
