Thomas Wylde Oxford Circus Bag

Typically if you are going to attempt to sell an expensive handbag, you will also attempt to take a decent picture. This way the potential buyer will understand and be able to visualize the bag more. Barney's, I love you, but this picture is that of deplorable quality. The Thomas Wylde Oxford Circus Bag may very well be rocker-chick meets sophisticated chic but we will never know because of the picture. Thomas Wylde handbags are a growing hit with their skull detailing and rebellious touch, yet a picture truly is worth 1,000 words. Whether or not this was Barney's idea or Wylde's herself (doubtable), this is a major bag turn-off. Either way the Thomas Wylde Oxford Circus Bag is designed with Oxford Circus supple leather, skull rivet and zipper pull details, and thick grungy chain double handles. Measuring 14"x9"x12.5", the size is great, the materials seem great, and the bag unbeknownst to all may truly be great- but the attempt at an artistic touch with shadowing and a bag hanger needs to go when advertising an expensive hot bag to an online crowd. Via Barney's for $2,360.

I like it. I bet Electric LadyLand will be offering the bag soon. They usually show detailed pictures. I have the original skull bag and the leather looks the same, and if so, it is very supple and soft.

Megs,

Do you happen to know where more detailed pictures of the Oxford could be found? I purchased one on eBay and would like to have something to compare it to.

Thanks.

I love it! I have a Thomas Wylde bag which is very similar, but I have not yet carried it. I'll make sure it is carried for a short journey! Agree with you Megs, the photography is terrible.
