In these recessionary times, no one really wants to spend $16,995 on a handbag. (Not even Beyonce). But a girl can dream, can’t she? One of my dream bags is the Crocodile Ricky 33 Bag by Ralph Lauren. Inspired by a vintage Cooper saddle carrier, this now iconic bag is crafted from exquisite hand-selected African crocodile and finished with custom silver- and rhodium-plated brass hardware. Does that justify the price tag that resembles that of a small car? Not really. But it is quite luxurious and this doctor’s-style satchel is a must-have for bag addicts everywhere. But maybe you’ll want to get a ‘lesser’ model instead, like the Patent Ricky coming in at $3,295, that’s slightly more justifiable. Just slightly.
