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.Image via WWD
Above Beyonce is pictured toting around the Botkier Noa East West Satchel ($495). When I first saw the picture my immediate reaction was “Slob,” but figured that it might be her mess of an outfit and over-the-top lips that were swaying me in that direction. Unfortunately when seeing the back minus Beyonce, I still find it slob-worthy. How can a bag that is relatively simple come off as having way too much going on? Between the tassel detail, the logo plate, the leather hanging from the zips, and the removable strap I’m not feeling this bag at all. What do you think about Beyonce’s Botkier? Snob or Slob?
