Bagopeida's Comment: Showing status symbols isn't cheap

Bagopedia has been waiting to see the bags after Tom Ford announced his launch of the lady's handbag collection. Now we see the bag.

There are a lot of gold color zippers with large zipper polls. That isn't surprised as its Ford's signature. The bottom zipper which is suppose to enlarge the room which isn't necessary. The front zipper which also unnecessary because you can't put anything inside. These unnecessary zippers actually make the bag look good with thick and heavy leather that is used for the bag. It gives the bag an unfinished and industrial look.

Tom Ford knows the accessory pieces are not only tools. They are also weapons. He know people who buy Tom Ford bags are not working class women. They are women who are showing their social status. Women who don't go to the grocery stores or take buses. They know showing status symbols are not practical or cheap.

See how Jennifer Aniston carries it:

  3. What I would not give to sport around a bag like this but im a NOBODY! I could NEVER afford such a wonderful bag. It fits my personality, attitude, clothing everything. I have lots of nice bags but I do not have any kind of money like tht to purchase something that is merly a dream. I CHERISH THE BAGS THAT I DO HAVE. Maybe someday someone will come out with a knock off or will need a model or spokesperson.....lol anyhow WONDERFUL bag. Melissa from Columbus Indiana.

  6. The look for less . . .
    Cole Hahn has a great bag similar to this one and only costs $130 at Nordstroms.

  7. The black bag with zippers that Jennifer Aniston has been photographed using as a shield to keep photographers from photographing her belly, is a gorgeous piece of black leather and zippers. But almost $4000 for it? Really?? I don't know how any middle class woman in this economy can justify this kind of purchase. The most ironic thing about all of this is that Jennifer Aniston can afford a 100 of these bags and yet, she gets most of these bags for free.

  21. Before I saw Jennifer in her bag from Tom Ford, I bought a Coccinelle. Georgeous! Great for a trip, shopping and oversize sweater! This size is similar to Tom Ford, but there's a bigger size, which I have and it's better for everyday :) http://www.coccinelle.com/item/store/COCCINELLE/tskay/84DF456A/rr/1/cod10/45182852NK/areaid//sts/
