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?
I love these Isabella Fiori Handbags!!! Total Bohemian Art! I love to wear a business suit and carry a totally funky bag….great way to express individuality in the workplace :}
Lockheart is the new Isabella Fiori and if your not in love with the funky amazing works of art a la Isabella Fiori there are plenty of people who are. The best part is we all have SOOO many choices in bags, style, price points…no need to “bag on” any one company with so many to choose from….
