I’m in SF and her store is actually located 5 blocks down from where I live and all I can say is wow. Her stuff is amazing and she is really talented. You can see the fabrics, materials, and the equpiment that she uses to create these bags. Everything is design and made and put together by her and you can see even if you are just walking by her store front. It’s not necessary my style but I wouldn’t say it’s not worth it.

If any of you had half the talent she has you would be grateful. Just think that lois vuitton or chanel or any big company like that, they’re bags are all made in factories in china for about ten dollars and sold for thousands. If you’re going to support Hermes who’s ripping you off completely go ahead and buy one of thei ugly tasteless bags. Or you can have a beautifully hand made purse that’s unique and won’t be seen everywhere like a kelly or birkin bag. Take your pick but if you really need to say anything stupid like they’re boring or dated, you might want to keep it to yourself and just TRY to make anything comparable. These bags are amazing and have such elegance and beauty to them. Definately not something my grandmother would wear, much to modern.

the anne bag belongs on a 95 year old’s arm.

That’s really no defense now is it? I’ve heard that the high-street store has been in business for a long time, so if their $30 handbags were boring they would’ve been out of business a long time ago. Just because people *buy* the bags, doesn’t mean that the styles aren’t boring. I think what people are buying is the meticulous craftsmanship that she provides. It’s a case of price elasticity too; were the prices lower, she’d have less customers, and less prestige attached to her name.

it’s obvious none of you are her target market. i heard she has been in business for about 8 years so if her designs are that boring, she would have been out of business a long time.
