Yup, I have to agree, it's not my cup of tea. If I wanted a patchwork bag, I would spend $100 on a Lucky Brand bag.

It's such a shame, because if they'd used the same gorgeous summer colours, it would've looked pretty, summery and exquisite. I think that mandarine, blue layette, maldives, white, marine, with an injection of apple green would've been breathtaking

I think it's a good idea, but badly executed.

If my mum ever buy this, and bring this home i'd slap her ... Hahahahahaha (kidding!)

I don't actually know why but I really "hate" this bag, it's funny because normally I LOVE everthing from balenciaga clothes, shoes, all bags and jewellery but this one just reminds me of cheap bags from the 80s,

I don't absolutely hate it, but it looks cheap IMO.

LOREBUNDE · Sep 10th, 2009, 12:58 PM

not my style. Like another post, maybe if they put various colors but from the same family might give it a totally different look.

Why does every handbag maker feel the need to do "patchwork"?

IMO, the only successful "patch" bags I've seen are Miu Miu Harlequin & patchwork bags...everyone else's are kind of Fugs.

Moonstarr · Sep 10th, 2009, 02:04 PM

It's not for me either. I don't like the pebbled type of leather they have used for the corners/handles and the base does look odd with the green. The most interesting thing I find is trying to figure out what the colours might be!

it's funny because in a similar thread they found the lucky patchwork bag that looks like this one:

Patchwork Sunday in Bergdorf Mag

it's too bad because i really like the style and i like the idea of having all the different colors in one bag. but the actual bag looks like something you would get at a fleamarket. in the 80s.

saw this irl and I just kinda went eh -- i did enjoy checking out the different bal colors

Reminds me of those tacky patchwork bags that are advertised in the back of cheap magazines to old ladies.

muggles · Sep 10th, 2009, 02:32 PM

Exactly!^^

luvette77 · Sep 10th, 2009, 03:10 PM

I think if I saw this IRL before reading this thread I would have said, "Look that poor girl is carrying a fake balenciaga..."

ashtray-girl · Sep 10th, 2009, 03:11 PM

though it's still way better than the patchwork bag LV made, that was really the ugliest bag I ever saw. . . hope I don't hurt the feelings of anyone here. . .
