Luella Geek Print Shopper

Megs · Apr 18th, 2007, 01:36 PM

Hello from Florence!! It has been a little while since I checked in, seeing that paying £5 per half hour of the slowest internet available really eats away money quickly (and that I am on vacation), I have been laying low. Vlad and I have tons of great pictures from Venice and now my friend Kim and I do from Florence too. Vlad and I even managed to pick you all up some goodies from Venice

There are tons of American travelers here and many of them scream out American. Funny thing is that so many Americans still enjoy standing out like a sore thumb here. I literally saw this bag today while strolling through beautiful Florence. The Luella Geek Print Shopper is nothing that I would care to be seen with, I am totally over the shirts with clever sayings and never got into the bags with them. Before Geek is printed on the front, there is merely natural canvas, double shoulder straps, and a press stud fastening. Who could you see carrying this? Vlad is our techie after all... maybe one of you should buy it for him! Via Net A Porter for $140.

i'll confess to having that t-shirt

but the anya hindmarch canvas bag is muuuch nicer and a hell of a lot cheaper!

I can't imagine why someone would want to carry that bag.

seahorseinstripes · Apr 18th, 2007, 02:09 PM

i suppose a real geek wouldn't wear this bag, and only those who think they are cool and now the "geek" are cool, they'll buying this bag LOL

sorry for being skeptical, but i think that what happens

LOL I was always able to spot Americans downtown Milan, especially the ones wearing white socks and sandals in the middle of the summer....
Maybe if you spend $140 on this bag you deserve to be labeled as a geek.... I don't get it.

Nothing like advertising.....

lorihmatthews · Apr 18th, 2007, 05:37 PM

Cute, but I personally don't think it's worth more than $20 ...

ValleyO · Apr 18th, 2007, 06:10 PM

^^ita!

I'd likely use it to lug my books around campus, and to and from the library (my second home, unfortunately).

It's cute for someone in school or college IMO.

fendigal · Apr 22nd, 2007, 06:40 PM

Why?

BagAngel · Apr 22nd, 2007, 06:44 PM

This bag not for me LOL

Glad you're having a great time Megs! Wonder if you are going to the outlet shops in Florence?

Oh Donna! · Apr 22nd, 2007, 10:29 PM

Ha! My daughter would so carry this! Someone needs to make it cheaper though!

Megs, Hope you guys are having an awesome vacation! We were supposed to go to Italy last October and then we cancelled because we moved out of state. I think its time to rethink the vacation and make plans to go to Italy this year now....

have fun and be safe!

ViciousBliss · Apr 26th, 2007, 09:36 PM

it's goofy but i'd NEVER carry it at that price, hell no!

sputnik · Apr 27th, 2007, 06:22 AM

if it cost 20 bucks it would be kind of fun but at 140$ it's just stupid and pretentious.
