Check Out Tory Burch’s $15,000 Alligator Bag

It seems like everybody wants a bit piece of the exotic bag market these days. Not only has Louis Vuitton just recently introduced a full line of crocodile as well as alligator bags in the past few days, however a Twitter tipster directed us in the direction of the Tory Burch Robinson Alligator Tote, which we believe to be the most costly bag Burch has ever created by a long shot. By about 14,000 long shots, in truth – the next a lot of costly Burch bag that we understand of was ideal under $1,000.

The bag, which is rendered in cobalt blue alligator as well as lined in matching leather, retails for $15,000 on the brand’s website, where only one is left for purchase. (It’s uncertain exactly how lots of were originally available, although it’s likely that this bag was made in a very, extremely little run.) Alligators are smaller than their croc cousins, which makes their hides harder to find by for the manufacture of big bags such as this one. It can likewise drive costs up beyond those of crocodile for similar bags from the exact same brand, although Burch has never made any type of croc bags to compare this to.

That this is a strong step for Tory Burch goes without stating (but right here I am to state it anyway). The brand has always been a dependable purveyor of fairly budget-friendly leather bags as well as accessories, with a lot of costs capping out around $600 for an daily option. Indeed, this piece is based on a extremely prominent Burch essential that retails for the somewhat puny cost of $575; for the cost of the alligator version, you might get 26 leather Robinson totes.

Alligator bags made by brands like The Row as well as Louis Vuitton (to state nothing of Hermes) retail for far a lot more than this does, however even if you presume that Burch selected extremely top quality alligator for this bag, it’ll still be a difficult offer at the price, especially considering that it’s similar in every detail except material to a bag that everybody understands costs so much less. I would have rather seen the Burch team flex its innovative muscles as well as come up with something genuinely special to make with the alligator.

If you’re that special someone, you can pick up this bag for $15,000 by means of Tory Burch.
