Is First Lady Michelle Obama sporting a taste for ultra-expensive fashion pieces, or is she cementing her status as a savvy shopper? Back in April she wore a pair of $540 Lanvin sneakers at a Washington food bank. Earlier this week (while strolling the wooded landscape outside of Moscow), she carried a sexy black clutch, which Italian luxury house VBH boasts is their shiny black alligator manila bag – with a retail sticker price of $5,950. The White House flatly denies that Obama bought such a high-priced accessory, and says that she was carrying a patent clutch that retails for $875. The First Lady, who has impressed with her chic, affordable style sense, embracing Everywoman brands like Gap and J.Crew, flashed the shiny handheld while walking with her husband, President Barack Obama, during their Monday meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and his wife Svetlana. Told that Obama's office denied the bag was the high-end VBH clutch, Kelly Vitko, a rep for the company replied, "It’s definitely ours."
no sheet I bought a $300 purse big enough to hold my files and my purse stuff and waited until it went down to 180 before I did it and I carry it every single day and it was a business purchase from reasonable money I earned by working my head off and it is in perfect condition 2 years later and has been treated with water proof stuff so I can carry it in the rain and snow
I see your ‘I believe the company rep,’ and raise you a ‘I think some pressure was brought to bare on the VBH folks to backpedal.’ I futher surmise that this company and this rep had some phone calls, from well heeled (hey the shoes have to sort of match) customers to help the misguided staff there ‘remember’ that that clutch wasn’t really their clutch. The Chicago way.
I am eagerly awaiting the ‘back stories’ that come out when Michelle Antoinette and her Bonaparte fall from grace. It will be worth the wait.
Michael Jackson willed gadfly Gadhfi some of his wigs?
For purposes of comparison, please consult Dan Froomkin’s 2004 White House Staff List-By Salary published in the Washington Post on June 13, 2004. Tallying Laura Bush's staff from the list provided by Froomkin totals $561,325 in annual salaries for the former First Lady's staff.” Michelle's staff are paid nearly three times what the former first lady's staff received.
