You may be shaking your head in disbelief, but the latest "it" bag called Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork Bag retails for $45, 352. Why is this bag as expensive as a new car? It does feature a gold chain handle, but the real reason for the high price is that it's made up of samples of 15 different Louis Vuitton Handbags from the LV spring/summer and cruise lines. If you want one of these bags, you have to get in line?. There will only be a limited number being made and the fashionista's tell us there's already a long waiting list!
A more affordable and equally sought after “it” bag is the enviro-stylish re-usable shopping bag by top UK designer Anya Hindmarch. It sold out in the UK in minutes. The tote officially named “I’m Not A Plastic Bag” is made from cotton, not plastic and so far only sold in the UK. The company promises to have more in stock in mid- April and they will also be sold, again in limited quantities and colors, in other countries this summer.
If you had the money would you prefer the environmentally friendly and inexpensive bag or the Louis Vuitton?
Well, I just read this thread and of course I have to add my two cents, even if it is months after the fact. I love my "IT" bags. I pay my bills, give to the charities that I believe in, and if I want to pay $500 or more for a bag, then so be it. It's my money, why shouldn't I do what I want with it. Now granted, I couldn't afford the LV shown here, but if I was that wealthy, and I liked it, why not? No matter how much money one has, don't forget, many have worked hard for their money, (not all are like Paris Hilton), and their status and have the right to do as they please. The way I look at it, until you pay my bills and take care of me, you have no say in the matter, and please don't turn your nose up at me. You don't know me from Adam. I don't judge you whether you carry a $10 purse or a designer knockout! To each is own.

I find the trend for expensive handbags ridiculous. I know women who have bags worth several hundred dollars and all they wear on their feet are flip flops. I was raised with the idea that you spend money on shoes. It doesn't matter what you are wearing or carrying, as long as you have clean, stylish, well made shoes on your feet you will look well put together.
