Update: D’Angel Tia Tote
After the tremendous success and response to our first post on the D’Angel Tia Tote, Lux Couture sold out within hours. Because of the high popularity of the bag, Sari Brown from Lux Couture will be taking orders on this bag. Due to demand these are all available to order with a 3 week delivery window. I have already received emails and comments from the new owners of these bags, who absolutely adore the bag and feel it is an amazing deal! Make sure to contact Sari at Lux Couture and put your name on the list for this incredibly affordable and chic exotic handbag!
When this first posted, someone asked why I couldn’t have one in California. Here’s why - CAL Senate Bill 880
BACKGROUND AND EXISTING LAW
Section 653o of the Penal Code prohibits the importation,
possession with intent to sell, and the sale in California of products made from several species, including polar bear, leopard, ocelot, tiger, cheetah, jaguar, sable antelope, wolf, zebra, whale, cobra, python, sea turtle, colobus monkey, kangaroo, vicuna, sea otter, feral horse, dolphin, porpoise, Spanish lynx, or elephant. Existing law allows the sale of crocodile and alligator parts or products until January 1, 2010.
Violations of this section are a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $1000-$5000 or 6 months in jail.
The croc ban in 2010 could be very bad unless it is overturned before then…

I ordered the Tia tote in white yesterday. When I ordered, I was able to add it to cart, pay for it, and allow for the 3 week delivery window. I went back onto the luxcouture website and now you have to call to place your order. I am excited and I can’t wait to see my new python bag. I noticed that the cranberry tote was out of stock yesterday as well. If this bag is a keeper, I would love to order the cranberry bag.

I received mine in brown earlier this week. It is well worth the price. After I received the brown one, I ordered another one in white. For the price, you can’t go wrong. I also own 2 Devi Kroell python bags. While this tote is not as nice as my 2 Kroell bags, it doesn’t cost $2,000 each. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this bag.

is this material strong or thin and brittle? Or is it the same high quality material like the expensive handbags?

I got mine… the workmanship is poor. I guess this is what you get for the price??? I am worried that it might deteriorate soon and fall apart. Oh well… Next, I might save my $ and goes for Devi Kroell.

I did not expect this bag to be the same quality of my Devi Kroell bags. I feel that for $500 it is worth the price. I have very expensive bags and some less expensive. I would not expect this bag to have the same workmanship of my Hermes Kelly bag. I would not have bought a second one if I didn’t think the bag was worth the price.
