When it comes to shoulder bags, I find myself taking extra time to figure out if they are worth it or not. Here is the major problem I have, some bags that are labeled as shoulder bags actually do NOT fit comfortably on your shoulder. This is a definite handbag pet peeve of mine! Anybody else out there with me on this point? Although I have doubts that this bag would fit nicely on your shoulder, I am brushing that aside and focusing on the good.

The Furla Lara Shoulder Bag is a gorgeous and affordable handbag. As I first began to take a look at the bag, I noticed a very apparent balance of sophistication and fun. Some bags are very sophisticated; others seem like they could be the life of the party; this bag combines the two aspects perfectly. Grape colored leather has croc printed leather trim and polished silvertone hardware. I simply love the overall look and feel of this Furla bag. And you know me, I am a sucker for bags that I feel can be used during several seasons. So, despite the fact that I am not sure how this would feel on my shoulder, I think I can look beyond that, carry the bag in my hand and be a perfectly happy handbag lover. Buy through Bluefly for $248.40.

i love the quality and smell of furla bags, but their designs are totally hit or miss. this one for me looks like a miss

The bag looks little dated to me. But I like the material on the sides.

I'm usually a LV girl so I'm not too sure how great the quality of Furla is..but I was browsing on Saks 5th ave and came upon this bag. http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/inclu...=1246171300553

What do you ladies think of it? I'm really loving the cream color of it!! TIA!

I like it! Go for it!

Yeah the leather looks like it'll feel buttery smooth to the touch. Should I do it? Maybe I'll place that with my next Saks order. Unfortunately, there was a battle at checkout between a pair of CL sharka pumps or this creamy goodness bag and the CLs won the war last night. So many choices..what is a girl to do?

I really like this bag. Furla makes great bags, they use a great, very soft leather, but their designs are a little weird sometimes.
