It's around $1800 - $2500 USD

I did send him a note today though to confirm

Does anyone have any reviews/comments on this Billy Kirk bag?

While I don't have that exact bag, I do own two from Billy Kirk. Both are well made with quality leather and waxed canvas. I have heard the brand's quality has gone down some since I got them, but I can't speak for that.

10k could have been spent for something better, seems money can't buy you good taste this time. make sure you leave the price tag on when you carry your bag around town. Not everything Velextra designs is gold.

Not a fan of that bag either.

Oh that's to expensive the purple label is $3000. I'm looking for a similar model up to $500 maybe.

Yeah then I'd try the first link I gave you, or you can go with the same maker I'm using right now, McKinley leathers

I like the briefcases from http://www.htleather.co.uk, good prices also. But it dont have this ''keychange'' hanging from the briefcase that I want. You think I could ask them to put one for me, I think it's pretty nice.

 

[furo]

Yeah probably, I'd guess he'd charge another 20 pounds or so

i know i know... but it's a sweet ass bag, that's why I sent him a note to verify the price

hey, it's better than blowing $5800 on this: http://usa.hermes.com/leather/bags-and-luggage/for-men/handbag-alfred-16118.html?color_leather=GREY

Simple and not expensive deux trois cents euro - brooks brothers

Pardon the size of the pic and the lack of cropping on just the bag, the image is hosted on my facebook page...

I hate those Burberry scarves, dont know why. And to the briefcase it's ok.

Hate is a bit strong, no? Little 9 yr old niece surprise snapped the pic when I came home, its not very clear of the briefcase... but its quite functional - I do not like bags with straps as they perturb the fall of my suits... I am not a fan of square handles either... makes it difficult...
