It was 40% off so $165

Mum looked at me like....really??
Then I reminded her how much my fairly simple black leather handbag cost. Not to mention her own one...
PIO could confirm how much handbags are in Australia. For LEATHER that is. Even vinyl though??

Which I refuse to use.
The only 'problem' with it is a lack of as many pockets as I usually want. But this DOES have a handle, shoulder strap, and zip close.
The other style of a similar size only had clasp closure and there were loads of it still on the ship when I got off.
I can solve the pocket issue with an insert I got in the duty free magazine on a flight once
There is a story attached though...which is why the decision had to be made IMMEDIATELY!!
Most things with inaugural 2011 on it were on sale. The Dooney and Burke bags were 40% off. There were 4 designs for 40% off. When I saw that I went to the store when it first opened (they don't open until they are out at sea) and it was the last in that style on the ship.
I was being stalked by two women...
The poor guy (a lovely Irish chap) was being harassed by these women about more of that style. You see this 'sale' had been going for about 4 cruises??? So while they were there right (after) shop opening...the flyer was a continuation...not NEW...
None of the bags at WDW were on sale....
