Agreed on TF women's bags, but they're going to have to see where to place them/price points; TF's men's accessories are so ridiculously overpriced that they're nearly at Hermes level. $4000 for a canvas and leather tote? I don't think so...

Women's premium bags in the retail $1500-2500 range might work, but you can barely get a TF wallet for that. (haha j/k)
Well, yes - most couture lines, or top tier lines hemorrhage money annually. Its more marketing than anything else. Show a $50K dress 5 people in the world will drop dime on, or create an image that you can sell 1000 $5K dresses from a diffusion line to the "general" public. Womens fashion is all about selling dreams, and there is nobody better at this than TF.
You are right about the bags - theres no way he will duplicate his success with Gucci on TF branded bags, but niche bags, ultra baller status croc and swarovski, priced stratospherically like a mens calf leather wallet

will be clamored upon all up and down the Madison Aves and Worth Aves of the world. Aint no way he is making a TF jacquard monogram bag work.
