Default URGENT...48 hrs left to make my decision...
hey all, i need yr opinion URGENTLY..i only have 48 hrs left to decide..

BV sale is creating a frenzy and i cant help myself too.. some of you know thta i was looking for tote bags from S/S 09 the one i wanted was on SALE but i was too late.. So i keept trying and one of nicest SA recommended from TPF found one for me he said i need ot let me know ASAP as he cant hold it for me too long....i spent some money and thus tight now.. if i buy now, it wil be a while(e.g fall) before i buy another bag.

so my $740 question is :

1. is this bag worth it?
2. can i use it for a long time?
3. will the color become outdated?

it's a great bag - I think the color is fairly timeless and multi-seasonal
and it's a great price - so go for it



p.s. waiting for fall for a new bag isn't bad at all. I should probably wait until 2011

Here I go with my advice again: Would you buy it were it not on sale (assuming that you could afford it)? Would the color work well with your wardrobe, coloring, attitude?

If so, then consider it. If not, then wait until fall and you will have the $740 to add to what you have additionally saved in the meanwhile. You really should only buy what you love, whether or not it is on sale.

Hi LV-PRADAfanatic (hope soon to be BV fanatic too)

1. yes, 50% for such a beauty! BV leather is soft and beautiful.
2. For sure, it's timeless model.
3. No, that is one of the classic colour for man.. black..brown..blue...
and with that colour, you will stand out from the sea of black and brown..

Enjoy it!

I love blue.... I wear a lot of blue and it is the color of my almamater, so for me blue is a classic. You should look at your wardrobe and see if what colors you wear the most and whether or not these colors go with blue.

Hi, it's a great looking bag but have you tried it on IRL? Just to let you know, it is a very heavy bag....

personally i love the cobalt, however, Baggiana's advice is spot on. if you are only buying because of the sale price, then perhaps you should pass. however, if you would be sad later if you passed on the bag now, then buy. (the infamous non-buyer's remorse as in i missed it and i could kick myself feeling)

no, i didnt, the pic it's from "the Hawaiian"
i adjusted the pic to make it bit clear and larger.

i think if you liked the bag at the very first place, why not take it for the price they are selling right now. like many have said, this 50% off deal may not happen again.
