Vivienne Westwood & Nine West's 'Cavallier' Handbag

I normally love designer and high street store collaborations, but this recent one between Vivienne Westwood and Nine West, well, I just don't understand it. Sure, the creations are gorgeous, as most of her designs are, but the prices are just unbelievably high, almost matching her normal collections' prices. This black leather Cavallier handbag is, of course, beautiful, but at $495 I would rather take the full plunge and buy something from her normal lines. Still, if anyone over at Nine West is feeling generous I'd be more than happy to relieve you of one or two of them!
