IMO, I don't like this bag.

WTF!!!!! I swear it's exactly the same look as the cheap bags in Chinatown, literally. Like Bal designers are running out of ideas & just copied the Chinatown patchwork design. What's the difference? $$$$$ I bet, this is double the price of the regular line. It's a shame...

Tried on today...more attractive IRL than in pics...but shoulder straps too short for true shoulder carry unless one is tres petite... Prefer "traditional"...

I start to think this looks like beggar's bag.

I like the style, not the patchy thing.

my thoughts exactly! :d

I agree with member 1 ,this collection is not cute.

hope they don't really do that!

sorry, this is not my cup of tea.

It reminds me my granny's blanket. I love her blanket very much but not for my bag.

vikianderson · Sep 11th, 2009, 02:26 PM

well obviously there's no hope for me b/c i love it! first saw it in the Bal brochure, i think it looks nicer in the pix i was sent, going to see it irl at the weekend.

not so keen on the bigger ~ *get seen in the dark* version tho

i saw this @ NM SF yesterday.....not a big fan

TMitch6542 · Sep 12th, 2009, 09:16 AM

I saw the one with the darker colors at Bergdorf's this past weekend and I don't like the patchwork or even the colors they chose. I do like the shape of the bag though the handles are too short I think. If I recall correctly, the cost was in the $2,000 range.

vikianderson · Sep 12th, 2009, 06:46 PM

***EDIT*** OK so i saw these bags irl today, this is actually the Large Sunday, (£1290) i thought the colours were beautiful (apart from the grey which looked out of place a little), loved the shape, it was just way too big!

so this is the smaller version, (£1270), it's more bucket shaped, which i didn't like, the sides sorta stick out & for me personally, the colour combo a big no no.

I was going to say that I saw a Lucky Brand bag that looked very similar to this...

And I really dislike the color combo on the small one. Ah well, to each his/her own.

inlovewithvuitt · Sep 13th, 2009, 01:51 AM

Oh mine... for a moment, I thought it was a fake design...

BlueKat · Sep 13th, 2009, 02:47 AM

OK. Now, this just looks tacky! Bal is getting pretty desperate with these designs!!

pursemama · Sep 13th, 2009, 03:02 AM

This is a bag that would make me crazy, I would have to REALLY think about my outfit.....what to wear, what not to wear because of all the colors! I don't have the time nor the energy to think that much about what to wear with this bag!

gladrags&bags · Sep 13th, 2009, 03:03 AM

my first impression was that it looked cheap and tacky..
