Just to say, I did buy a Pippa a couple of years ago when they were 'in' and, for me, it was a mistake - sadly, I've hardly used it.
The main reason is the very shiny metal-ware which I think is too blingy and makes the bag look rather cheap in RL. I do realise, though, that that is a matter of personal taste and others are quite happy with it.
Secondly, it's a very structured bag - fine if I'd still been working in an office, but less versatile for casual occasions.
I don't know the details of your lifestyle, as I've never been a SAHM but - personally again - as a mature student, I do spend that sort of money on bags but for everyday always try to find something versatile, ie, stylish but works in more casual as well as more formal settings. I wouldn't take my Pippa, for example, for a walk in the park.
