To You Convertible Bag

Just picked this up at the Neimans sale...would love to hear thoughts from other people who have this bag.

I also saw this bag at the Neiman's sale (in Hawaii) & was wondering what other people thought of it as well. I think it's pretty cute, but was skeptical of the durability of the strap and zipper and such.

It's really light...I like that. It seems durable.

Adorable bag, super cute light bag (too small 4 me tho)
Be careful with the lucite top area, I hear it scratches...

I love the style -- very eccentric-chic. I'm on the cusp of picking one up, but not sure I can pull it off.

She looks fab on you!

Oh thanks for the tip on the lucite, I'll play with it at home and see how it wears. I understand what you are saying about being too small. I am 5'10, and it is smaller than I usually go for.

I clicked on your vacation link: I am so JEALOUS. It looks amazing.

I've always wondered about this bag and saw it on sale at NM. I was really wondering about that flap when you wear it with strap. I'd love to see pics of the inside?

pikeeygrl · Jun 22nd, 2008, 06:40 PM

The strap and flap fold outward not inward. Here are pics of the inside too. The strap is not detachable... though that would be even better.

I think I am on a Fendi kick now. I am loving that large new grey baguette. Does anyone has modeling pics?

I really like the idea of this bag as a clutch. But when I asked the SA at Fendi how it transitions into a clutch, he said the strap and flap just fold inside the bag and the the strap just kinda hangs inside. Is that how it works? It seemed to me that the strap might be in the way of finding your things inside the bag. A cute bag regardless.

I tried to fold it in and it works better folded and the strap left on the outside. It is really light but really different looking.

Congrats on your purchase!

It is very different - I really like it. Its on sale on NM in white too! I wish I could charge it but I have to be good

Nice clutch! I like it in all black. I usually see the patchwork ones.

I have this bag in the multicolour version! (without the FENDI on the front) and I love it! Although the nappa leather I find to be very delicate (I'm so afraid of staining/scratching!) So I don't use it TOO often, but I found mine perfect for summer cos of all the colour, and I always use it as a clutch. :) For those who said it looks rather small, it's actually pretty big !! I think it's super spacious, and it fits everything I need:) Congrats on your purchase!!
