Living in Paris and Italy for over 20 years I can see it a mile away. Something is missing here. This bag almost makes it but then doesn't. Sorry. It looks more like a wannabe bag.

So many bags out there are over embelished and do nothing for me. I ike the simplicity, and the purse is gorgeous in perso.I'm fine with all of the ladies that don't like it not having it. It's on my top 3 list! I think it is a beautiful bag.This photo does it no justice! So many bags out there are over embelished and do nothing for me.

It's painfully basic, almost Spartan but without the cool factor. It's completely boring. I would never buy one, and if I was gifted one would promptly sell it. And in the unlikely event I found I could not get rid of it, I would graffiti all over it with prismacolor markers. At least then it would be interesting to look at.

The reason why all the celebs are carrying them is probably because Valextra got themselves a sassy group of PR girls who know the right people. So these bags were given to the correct celebs to wear. Lets not get easily fooled PB ladies we can call it as we see em. yep boring and overpriced.

How dull and utterly BORING! $2K, honestly? I'll take that money elsewhere! There are far better designers out there that may have a bag like this one, but 1000x better. Sorry, Valextra, try again.

I will say Valextra is taping into a new trend. clean lines free of logo or any studded pieces , snaps or locks. It is sort of like a reverse status symbol now to carry the plainest bag you can that most would not think cost any more then probably 20 bucks at Tj max, walmart , k-mart type of store, but it is in fact a not just expensive but incrediblly expsensive bag. I know it may seem like a lifetime time ago but take a look back about a year ago at what bag Angelina Jolie carried seemingly everywhere . *cough* Mono Louis vuitton * cough* now she is sporting Valextra all over town. HMM? That said i think a $400-800 is a more reasonable price tag for this bag but then again it is fashion and the name of the game now is exclusivity based on price point so 2,000 i guess it is . the bag is a very functional design with clean lines.

I'm glad someone is upfront and honest. In recent years, so many bags are arbitrarily overpriced. I just don't get this brand either and I even went to Barneys and checked them out in person. They are just as dull in person. I love classics and go crazy in Hermes but for some reason, Valextra just never moved me. I have a good collection, but am never tempted by any shape bag in this brand. I agree with you Amanda. I’m glad someone is upfront and honest.
