Sigh. I've been looking for a new red bag, and I love this. I love the shape, the size, the studded detail. It's ridiculously expensive though. Are they really worth it? Maybe someone will do a high-quality knockoff.

DROOL. It's even named after your style label!

That bag is gorgeous! If you have the money, I would get it because its fairly classic style and quality is usually great with most designer bags. Currently, I'm looking for classic Chanel style bag because I would love real thing but prices are so astronomical i can't afford it. I think you can find simular styles as your V bag(I have seen it) but never saw one with studs

Just dropping in to give you my red handbag support! It soon will be Valentine's Day and you are feeling the love for this beauty. I had a similar tortured love affair with a red one I saw at Nordstrom that was red and lightweight and just perfect for me, but due to the price tag, I had to walk quietly away.

As Victoria says, they produce high-quality and classic bags that you would feel good using every time it was on your hand. Angie would probably agree. It's a tough decision when the "price isn't right."

I would think really hard about it because of the studs all along the crossbody strap. You've said that you want to pare down to only necessary details and, with this, you'd have an instant studded sash. You'd have to be careful to arrange the strap the right way every time you put it on, too, or the studs would be uncomfortable.

Unless of course you'd plan to carry it by the handle only?

That is a gorgeous bag, but wow that is expensive. All is not lost, you now know what you are looking to copy and so do the fine ladies here. Maybe someone will spot something similar at a more affordable price,
