Is the Fendi Spy for me?

babybluegirl · Jun 12th, 2008, 10:47 PM

ok...i know that I should follow what I want all that jazz....and i've been lusting after the spy for so long, i can't even remember when it started. i saw a black one now and i'm thinking of getting it. as a post-birthday, advanced christmas, advanced everything present for myself (haha).

i was (purse) blog-hopping then i came across one person's post...saying that the spy looks good only on tall, elegant and fashionable people because of the size and the hard-ware and all that jazz.

i'm a bit on the chunky side but i am tall (for an asian). i'm wondering whether or not the spy will work for me or not.

I think you need to base your purchase more on the amount of stuff you tend to carry, and your own personal taste. I don't think the normal spy would look awkward on you - and if you feel it does they do make a smaller version - which is also very cute. I think the spy is gorgeous and I want black to be my next one too. I'd say go for it.

Don't you find that the intensity and length of the lust is a good predictor of how satisfied you are with a purchase? I think you'll be really happy with the spy. It's a great bag, and should be a good fit for you.

The best thing to do is pop into a shop and try the bag for size then you will know

hahaha. yeah i have to agree on the intensity and length of the lusting time....

i'm actually losing sleep over this. it's like i'm gonna whack myself if i go down to the store now and find out it's already gone.

i am short. 5'3 and i think the spy looks alright on me. i really really like the spy. i'm 17, and not all that fashionable with my uni clothes; i carry my spies/designer bags even in school( i do dress up on the weekends of course) so i think it should look fine on you. most importantly, is do u like it and will you use it? :)

i have two spies, plum and honey.

You should definitely go down to the store, try one on and decide how YOU think it looks on you. I'm sure you'll love it, they're amazing bags! The Spy bag is one of my favorite styles of bag ever, and I think they look good on everyone! Go get yourself a new Spy bag! You've waited long enough and you deserve it!

I agree with what many of the ladies have already said. Best way to tell is to try it on and see if it works for YOU. Just try it and see!

Stophle · Jun 13th, 2008, 11:31 PM

I think you should rock the spy if you love it.

I'm 5'5" and last time I checked I weighed in at about 227lbs. I think I look just fine with the Spy.

Try it on for yourself and see, can't wait to hear what you decide!

I'm Asian, 5'4" (5'9" with heels), 190 lbs, and I love my black Spy on me.

babybluegirl · Jun 15th, 2008, 01:19 PM

shopdoc · Jun 15th, 2008, 02:27 PM

Awesome bag! Congrats :)

sarah2808 · Jun 15th, 2008, 09:09 PM

Great choice, I am glad you finally got it. Congrats!

PRETTY bag!

Makes me miss my black Spy... I've been in bbag land for the last few months. I need to break out my black Spy!

You won't regret it. I never liked Spy bags too much, then I got my first one (at a charity event to raise money) and I fell HARD for the bag the first time I used it! I love the spy pocket, it's so convenient! And yes, the leather is so soft and squishy
