We’ve already covered the monstrously priced crocodile shoulder bag from Posh Spice’s neophyte handbag line, and the response was almost unanimous: While it might be a nice bag, $14,000 is a lot to pay for something from a brand new company of any sort, let alone one that bears the precarious designation of being a “celebrity clothing line.”
That bag was on the high end of the collection’s price point, though, and the Victoria Beckham Leather and Nubuck Shoulder Bag seems to be much more typical of what we should expect from the ex-Spice Girl’s accessories. With a $2600 price tag, it’s nowhere near as expensive as its croc cousin, but still mighty spendy for most people. What say you?
There’s nothing wrong with this bag, per se, but I also don’t see anything to justify a $2600 price tag. As I mentioned about Vicky B.’s croc bag, pricing a little high is better than pricing a little low for a new line, but delivering on the expectations that those kinds of numbers create is also important. For a thousand dollars less, I’d love this bag. As it is, I’ll pass. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $2600.
It’s beautiful, but too expensive. (ipad)
Oh my, its even more boring than the croc version and still way, way overpriced. No thanks, Posh. (ipad)
I’m asleep, wake me up with something beautiful please.
that is nice – can’t afford even 1/100th of it.
(ipad)
it’s a little dry and very structured for me… still passing on this (ipad)
its doesnt seem like a lot of bag for that price?(ipad)
Okay while I appreciate the price of this (at least compared to $14,000) I still can’t bring myself to really like it. I much prefere the look for the full croc…but maybe that’s to be expected! (ipad)
I love classic… but this is verging on boring 🙁 I’ll pass! (ipad)
It’s only 10×8 and I dislike the flap being so long – anyway the handle lay flat to convert it to a clutch – still wayyyy too much money!

It’s actually a nice bag. I could see myself considering that bag, however, NOT for the price on a new company. (ipad)
Pretty but way too much $ (ipad)
It looks a bit blah to me for the price.
(ipad)
Crisp lines and sophisticated design. But not for this price, as yet. (ipad)
I don’t like it @ all it doent have a wow! (ipad)
I also really like this one (ipad)
I’m actually pretty excited to see more stuff from her. (ipad)
Love the bag, not the price (ipad)
I’m still not feeling her bags, I don’t know what it is but nope….(ipad)
The bag is nice. Nice as in MEH or Blah! Nothing exciting or WOW. Not for the price, I preferred the croc but not at that price either! (Ipad)
I think that it is very pretty, but there are better bags for the money. (ipad)
Looks pretty but will not spend $2600 for that! (ipad)
Wow that’s a lot of money! A little too plan for me though. (ipad)
Nope, not singing to me at all. The croc version I liked (price ridiculous) but this is dull, dull, dull (ipad).
not sure if im feeling the silver lock area.. maybe if i was brushed flat just like the gold area & in the same color.. the lock would’ve looked better! (ipad)
I think that it’s lovely! However, to me, her brand isn’t established enough to carry such heavy a price tag. I think that $1950 would be a better price point. (ipad)
It’s a pretty boring black leather bag. I can’t justify to spend that much of my heard earned money for that. Sorry Victoria B. (iPad)
I think the design is beautiful – she’s definitely talented. It’s an elegant bag, but the price point is just so high for someone just breaking into the handbag game! (ipad)
Ahaha! I love the title of this. The price is actually something I would expect from VB. It’s nice, but a bit too strict for me.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I actually really like this bag. Hated the croc version, but this contrast in colors, sleek look and rough hardware works for me. (ipad)
Blah… It does not move me and for $2600 I want/must be moved.
The bag is nice, but not worth the price. (iPad)
It’s okay…not bad…but not in love. (ipad)
It’s a lovely, minimal design, but I wouldn’t spend that much on a unestablished designer, and never on a “celebrity clothing line.†That might make me sound awful, but if I were to spend such figure on a bag, it’d be one from a house like Celine.
classic looking (ipad)
very simple (ipad)
Still don’t like her style. Too structured. (ipad)
like the elegant look (ipad)
VB has 2 options. 1) Make an amazing bag that becomes coveted that would justify this price or 2) Get some real experience and cred for being a designer for a while and then charge 2.6k for bland. At the moment i dont see her doing either (ipad)
I love it – except for that weird clasp. (ipad)
eeck! can’t even afford the strap (ipad)
I think it is too expensive. (ipad)
still too spendy (ipad)
Sure… we can all buy it, to finance Posh’s Birkins addiction 🙂
I really find it ridiculous when so-called designers push their products on the market but carry something else, like a “real” classic….
I like it & her style a lot. Most ‘celebrity’ clothing handbags seem to be slouchy, no shape, bags covered with loud designs, studs, tassels, you name it. At least Posh is trying to design something classic for someone over the age of 18. I think her stuff is going to be around for a long time. All houses have to start somewhere. (ipad)
Nah! for 2600, there are better ‘classics’ to buy …. there was some appeal in croc but in regular leather, this bag looks boring as hell ….
Should someone who is relatively new in fashion business and is for the first time venturing into handbags, be charging so much ? What are we supposed to pay for – the concept, the brand name, the exotic material, the detailing, the technique, the design ? … because i cannot find anything to justify such high prices for her bags (ipad)
I prefer this one than the croc one. But also here the price is too expensive, I can magine this prica for something of “rela cool designer” not by Beckham who hasn’t any kind of style knowledge!

i think it’s because she never own a bag less priced than 2k, so maybe she thought no such thing exist and hence that’s why her tiny little bag priced that much..
hmm.. poor fellow.. (ipad)
That bag doesn’t even have $2600 worth of leather. I am in the process of how to figure out how to save for a Chanel or a Stam. I don’t forsee myself saving for this.
I think that she would have more success getting her things out on the marketplace at a more reasonable price. Where do you even purchase one other than NAP? For that price, I should be able to see it up close and touch it.
(iPad)
nice, but ill get louis or the prada saffiano tote im currently lusting after before i drop that kinda cash on VBH, sorry posh! (ipad)
Just not that special to justify the price! (ipad)
Still nope (ipad).
croc is better <3 (ipad)
vb def has it down pack (ipad)
love all her bags (ipad)
and her dresses (ipad)
sunglasses (ipad)
jeans (ipad)
i just wish that i could afford them all (ipad)
🙂 (ipad)
nice bag, but a bit too expensive! (ipad)
not really feeling it (ipad)
it’s alright. way too expensive for what it is. (ipad)
Nothing special for that price. (ipad)
Not enough pizzaz ! (ipad)
Blah. Very plain for the price tag! (ipad)
I don’t even like it… So, keep it, Victoria Beckham. (ipad)
i like it, but i’d rather buy valextra for those prices (ipad)
I like the bag in general but I hate the hardware,it looks so cheap! And when I take a closer look I now see that I don’t like the stitching on the black leather neither. C’mon, $2600 is way too much for this bag! (ipad)
nice but still too expensive (ipad)
I like it but it is still too much for this bag (ipad)
I’d rather buy a Chanel… (ipad)
WAG bag! (ipad)
not a fan of the price tag. (ipad)
Great bag for a work lunch (ipad)
Lovely dress on the model on Net a porter (ipad)
Does anybody know the name of the dress? (ipad)
Conservative, but cute (ipad)
So so lovely (ipad)
I still that is very expensive for a this bag (ipad)
It’s OK, but rather bland and of course, it’s about two, or three, times what it ought to cost.
I’d prefer a Chanel as well. (iPad)
redic.(ipad)
Not for me (ipad)
Nice bag, but looks like someone’s regular bag from the 50s. I might still just buy from Target. (iPad)
jeez louis. this is crazy (ipad)
no thanks, (ipad)
The design does not match the price tag. I would buy something else instead. (ipad)
Love the bag (ipad)
But 14000 seems too much (ipad)
I think this bag is lovely (ipad)
I think the price is very expensive for that simple design bag..maybe because she is a superstar, she doesn’t want her products cheap or low level..the croc’s better then this, but still…$14,000 ??? (iPad)
I don’t think it’s anything special for the price. It looks bland and boring. (ipad)
I agree Wendy, it doesn’t WOW me @ all… (ipad)
It doesn’t have a “wow” factor for me. Especially for that price!(ipad)
the $2600 is way out of my league…(ipad)
If i had that kind of money i would spend it on LV or chanel (ipad)
too expensive and too plain (ipad)
i dont really like her bags (ipad)
She silly dillettante.
I like it but it is still too much for this bag (ipad)
I love everything by the price. (ipad)
