The price point makes it especially hard to beat.Tinsley Randolph Mortimer ( née Mercer born August 11, 1975) is an American socialite and television personality. Dare I say, it's well above the quality of Rebecca Minkoff or Tory Burch (just my opinion). So, if you're contemplating Gigi New York I would definitely buy. I also wish I had bought the python embossed bag but I wasn't going to spend that much on a whim (it was being sold full price in the colour I wanted). My only wish was that it was slightly larger. When worn cross body the weight doesn't feel too much. I did notice that it feels heavy when full but its not a deal breaker to me. I will definitely invest in more of their bags. I can say that the bag is well above its value! It's a thick leather, well crafted bag. Anyway, after seeing the Hayden Satchel for half off, I decided to bite the bullet. I have to admit that I am a big skeptic of blog reviews (excluding Purseforum) since so many are sponsored posts. So I have been seeing a lot of Gigi New York and reading really good reviews online.
