swoon indeed..*JEALOUS*

I dont think the bag is worth $1400

Eww...hideous. Reminds me of old drapes.

Not a fan. It looks like a tapestry bag you could pick up at Wal*mart.

I wuvs it, but I prefer Whit's version. I like the blue tones.

Carpetbag!!

I can not tell you how much I adore this!!

we need a look for less....paleeeeeese:)

I love the blue tones as well. I agree with hanako, we do need a look for less!

I think it is a beautiful bag. I'd totally carry it.

I definitely agree that it isn't worth $14,000, but I love it and it really looks great in person (I may or may not have gone to BH and pretended to have money this weekend... LOL).

As for the cost, check out this article at Fashionista--all the arguments defending the costs of those things just went down the drain!!

its sort of ok, very expensive indeed! :s

yes it looks like carpet but i still love it. i prefer whit's version though

Oh goodness I love the entire Hysteria collection! I must admit though that I would have gone for the red instead of the blue. I've been in love with this bag since I saw in the July Bazaar.

Yuck! What a hideous bag! Even if it was only $100 I wouldn't waste my money on it.

still not a fan of this bag!

Got my Hysteria catalog last month, and fell in love with the black patent version of this bag. I was just in Spain last week and just happened to be walking by Gucci (accidentally on purpose ) in Barcelona and Madrid but they only have the large version. I'm a whopping 5' tall so the size of this baby makes me look like a little kid carrying her mum's bag. But I am completely in love with the patent, its so classy/ classic. The tapestry is actually quite beautiful in person, but way too hippie-dippy for me. Hopefully I'll find the medium or small version in the NY boutique... already training DH that this would make the perfect anniversary (halloween), bday (late nov), or xmas gift

Not sure it's worth the hype!?

gorgeous

That thing is FUGGGGGGGGGGGLY! Are you kidding me a Persian Rug purse is cute.....seriously a designer name makes people go "silly" for fashion!

I love Gucci and I like the bag but for that cost, I don't think it is worth it. You should be able to carry the bag for years to come and I don't think this would be a smart bag investment. This style is more like a fad.

i like this bag, its so different and old looking

this is hideous. i wouldn't wear it if it was free.
