Ha cha cha. I remember being incredulous the first time I saw the price tag on a Nancy Gonzalez bag at Bergdorf’s — yes, nice, but HOW many thousands of dollars did they want for it? But over the years I really have come to appreciate the structure, craftsmanship, and just flat-out beauty of these bags. In fact, for my $.02 I probably like her designs the best of the truly high-end bags like Chanel and Hermes. This one is $3,600 at Bergdorf Goodman. Nancy Gonzalez Linda Crocodile Bag, Red

Reader E suggests this lovely handbag, noting: “I saw this handbag and nearly fainted from its gorgeousness. It is way out of my league, but I would love to carry it to work!” We agree, it’s a gorgeous bag (and definitely a splurge!) — we particularly like the stones hanging from the handles. It’s $2,850 at Neiman Marcus. Nancy Gonzalez Python and Croc Satchel

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
Wow — today’s aspirational piece is this gorgeous wool crocodile-print cardigan and shell from Versace. We love that it’s still in the “basic black, wear with anything” family but is so detailed and interesting. We also like that the tasteful animal print adds some liveliness to your basic jewel-neck cardigan. It’s (gulp) $2190 for the set at Neiman Marcus, available in sizes 4-12.
