New handbag line: Simply Vera by Vera Wang - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

Well... I saw these today... and I'm not too impressed really.

The lady that makes such beautiful (expensive) wedding dresses appears to have come out with an affordable handbag line... but they just look like bags inspired by other designers. What do you girls think?

Price Range for these styles is $49 to $99 regular price.

Yea her handbags are more like simply boring......and totally ordinary.....

Well Vera Wang is known for simplicity... but I was expecting handbags that were a little more luxurious and unique. Not a fake patent leather clutch that looks like 100 other clutches out there.

well she is designing for kohl's. how much can you really expect from this handbag line?

My guess is the average Kohl's customer won't even know who she is and will wonder why Kohl's is stocking such "expensive" stuff.

I used to like Kohl's for limited things, but in the past few years their merchandise has really gone downhill. Very cheap, awful stuff, like Marshall's.

Yeah, I used to like Kohls too... their stuff has been looking kinda K-Marty lately. At least you can still get good kitchen stuff there (they are carrying Food Network Utensils and Gadgets now... very nice stuff!).

Yeah, it is strange that she decided to do a line for a store like Kohls. I mean, isn't that like Marc Jacobs deciding to do a line for Target? It just seems weird.
Still, it is rather disappointing since she does make very beautiful things otherwise. Oh well...
