Er.... no, not for me. Also, to me, the circle-design reminds me too much of a disc that is common in Chinese homes (Buddhism). The disc is nailed on the main door of the house to ward off evil spirits! (Tried to find a pic to post but could not seem to find one).

I think it's rather a collector's item. But for that price I'd rather buy a bag that I could really enjoy and use, not just to admire craftmenship, material and color..

I can't help but wonder, what could the inspiration be behind this bag?

Minda · Sep 26th, 2008, 05:34 AM

Sorry folks, but I wouldn't want to be seen with this bag.....

I played Simon with my DS!

It's a beautiful runway piece, I hope it doesn't end up joining the Viva Italia orphan bag though...

Ha ha, the Viva Italia orphan bag...is it still on BlueFly? Poor baby.

^^ It was at Woodbury last time I went there.

I saw this at the NM at Tyson's, last weekend. Apparently, the SA was not a fan. She said it was heavy and too expensive. It's not my style, either. Also, I thought it should have a flat bottom, so it would sit upright when you put it down, but it doesn't.

I remember Simon! I used to play it all the time.

Don't like it. I'm sure the workmanship and leather are awesome, but don't like the design.

I'm carrying my black goatskin wavy tote today and falling in lurve all over again. If you want some BV goatskin, there are some much better options this season.

doloresmia · Sep 26th, 2008, 04:14 PM

Jane - you are carrying the black maggiore goatskin for all of us! That bag is LOVELY - and makes up for a few errors in judgement like this multi-colored thing along the way IMO.

sonya · Sep 26th, 2008, 09:32 PM

I don't really like the design.

shopaholic&baby · Sep 26th, 2008, 11:28 PM

I've seen this multicolor bag at the trunk show but I immediately knew it wasn't my style (and I love multicolor clothing), the bag is just too colorful for a bag IMO. That's why I got the bombe bag, I believe black would be much versatile and I love the croc trimmings!

kimberf · Sep 27th, 2008, 01:25 AM

It's a bit too much for me. If I wore all black, all the time, I might consider it, but even then I'd prefer just one of the colors, or shades of the same color, with such a bold design.

Thanks for the pics, Lululala. Yes, it just reminds me of these!
