In today's economy, bags are still key. If one is going to downsize their spending on apparel, then those discretionary dollars should go in the bank. However, the luxury market seems to be paying no mind to what is going on and that should be a good thing. This 'business as usual' mentality might be dangerous encouraging those who have been overspending to continue to buy status items but then again, what is life without a little whimsy? And if you are going to 'invest' over $3000, shouldn't it have a wow factor?
Well this Bottega Veneta Woven Boston bag isn't your home economic's teachers creation. This amazing multicolor woven leather stripes against black trim is quite fashion forward for this conservative staple label. Perhaps the economy is making them step out of their comfort zone for $5200 beyond the browns.
Finally, we have the Yves Saint Laurent Woven Maia Satchel. Granted this is on the market already but the structured silhouette paired with the dark leather and neutral tones might make you consider getting it half price from the original cost of $2500.
