Wow.  These Italian leather handbags usually go for upwards of $300, but there is an accessory light at the end of the luxury tunnel this weekend.

We spotted a brand new with tags Sofia C. leather satchel purse on an eBay auction going for $169 with free shipping.  Made using the highest grade of Italian leather, this authentic Sofia C. satchel bag comes in a bluish gray supple leather that really is perfect for all seasons.

And if the price isn’t perfect for a luxury guru, we don’t know what is!

Enough talk though, for only $180, I might have to jump on this one!

Well, we hate to bring you bad news on a Monday, but we do have to keep you abreast of the luxury news no don’t we?

So baseball player turned restaurateur Steve Finley is sadly having to sell of the BRG Restaurant Group after filing bankruptcy.  BRG is the company that owned Finley’s upscale Flight Restaurant in San Diego.  The business started having problems last year when he handed out paychecks that bounced, oops.

Finley is blaming bad management and a poor economy on the bankruptcy liquidation, but either way, we’re sad that a dream has failed.
