I wonder,,she can afford this,,but I wonder if the designer lent it to her for the PR. They do this with high profile women. And he is getting a lot of free advertising.

BTW Hermes bags can cost 15 grand. If I were rich, had the money, I would get one ASAP. Expensive bags are a lifetime investment. I have a Chanel bag that I bought 30 years ago and it is still in style, very classic and I still wear it.

Expensive bags are good buys if you can afford them. And the designer was from Valentino I think. I looked at the bag and thought it was YSL but was wrong.

I am a bag nut. For a good site for ladies who like to drool, go to bagsnob.com.

If you can afford private jets to NYC for date night, you can surely afford this accessory. Right???

I too get very tired of him constantly pawing everyone. In the White House maybe but when you're in the Kremlin you shouldn't be putting your hand on the back of your host and steering them to sit down.
I'm guessing he'll try to do it with the Pope, we shall see.

I’d bet she doesn’t “own” this purse....that it was provided to her by the designer for her use because just a few photos of Michelle carrying the clutch (or wearing the jewelry or ball gown or belt or whatever) is worth thousands in free advertising.

This is a customary practice in the designer world - celebrities “borrow” stuff all the time.

My brother-in-law is a former professional athlete (now, he’s the hockey coach every kid and their parents wish to have :) and STILL drives a free car, gets comped meals, comped haircuts, etc. If you’re “somebody,” businesses will scramble to have you “seen” in their wares.

No matter how much this pos spends on clothes and accessories, she still looks like the ghetto shrew she is.

Good grief. Charged it to the company credit card, no doubt. THAT WE PAY!

Are they sure it's the same bag?

The bag mooshelle is holding has white "v" highlights. Looking at the bag, I don't see how those "Vs" are possible even at the angle she's holding it. Maybe she has it overstuffed?
If she were mugged, would the SS protect her or the bag?

Mooshelle does not know how to carry a clutch bag, nor when. That bag would be better worn with her pillowcase outfit.
She looks very uncomfortable - stiff - out of place as always.
What is that abomination she's wearing as a necklace?

i posit that designers are salivating to send michelle whatever she wants, gratis, of course. whenever she wears something, it flies off the racks.

Hey, cajungirl. Who doesn't appreciate an expensive bag, LOL!

So there are cool web sites devoted to those who want to RENT them for a night, week or season. They also sell the gently used bags. Here's one..

Without the VHG alligator bag and Fenton bling she’d look like one of the wait staff. JMO
