At least her students do the handstitching, versus all machine stitched
This is true, though from what was posted above it looks like there is some machine-stitched stuff there as well.
Of course, I don't expect that Bea should have to chain herself to her leatherworking stand until she's 100 years old; I'm glad she's gotten to a position and customer base that will allow her to train others while hopefully getting a little more freedom to enjoy the fruits of her labor.
That being said, I've never really considered her shop a "brand," such that it would be worth paying a premium simply for her name on an item (with said item stitched by someone else... quite possibly a person with only a year's experience).
At the ultra-premium price point, there IS a lot of competition... and at the end of the day what made the whole thing worth it was Bea herself. Some brands are very much tied to their namesake; take that away, and even big global brands (Gianfranco Ferre, Helmut Lang, etc.) have trouble exciting their customers.
what other brands exist at the ultra-premium price point?
was Bea really worth the price she charged? she was/is at hermes pricing. for that price, often better to go with hermes in my opinion.
