Juicy Couture's It-Girl Fairy Tale bag is so named because it features a top metal plate emblazoned with the Juicy Couture fairy tale. What's the fairy tale? Basically it's the story of Juicy's two founders, Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor, who founded an empire. The shoulder bag is made of natural canvas with leather trim. It has a leather shoulder strap and a pair of leather-trimmed pockets.
The bag sells for $450 which seems a bit much. The fairy tale badge seems more like an ego stroke for the founders than a fun detail.

Juicy Couture has steadily gone down hill ever since they were bought out by the Liz Claiborne corporate beast. Thats right... JC is now a LC brand and has been for a while.
I understood why the prices were high when it was a small company with high quality. Now I have no idea, why they expect the same prices. This is LIZ Claiborne for crying out loud... they're probably producing these bags in the same factories as their "villager" brand that gets sold in Fred Myers! I will never wear the JC label again... EVER.
Sorry...had to get that off my chest. I simply hate "sell out" brands that expect high $$ for tacky shadows of their former selves. ^_-
