Hi everyone! I'd love to get your opinions on this bag, my fiance just isn't a huge help

It was an impuse buy and now I'm on the fence. The things I like about it are:

~super soft squishy leather that slouches nicely
~silver hardware
~big and roomy but fits nicely under my arm (not too wide)
~pretty silver satiny lining
~zip pocket on the back for keys etc

I dress extremely casually....

Thanks in advance!!

I like the size and shape on you but I'm not a fan of all of the large grommets. Sorry.

Perfect size and shape, but I don't like those metal rings.

ampeefyed · Nov 5th, 2009, 06:51 AM

Not liking the grommets as well.. but the shape, size & color are great!

I like it also. Have fun with it !!

I like it, but it depends on what you wear it with. I can see this with dark jeans and tee shirts, but not with pastels. I guess I'm just trying to say it has a bit of a rocker vibe and that should fit in with your overall look.

I like grommets (just bought some more LFA Nomads, in fact [my fourth pair!]!), but I'm not sure that I like them in quite this number and/or without them performing a function?

I also think it would be cooler with a much longer strap.

So, I guess I'm on the fence, too?!

How much was it, BTW, if you don't mind me asking?

I love it, but I love hardware and metal touches. Depends what your taste is..

ahertz · Nov 5th, 2009, 11:19 AM

I say if you're on the fence you should take it back. Why keep something you're not sure about?

I agree... If you are already questioning it you should return it

I agree that a purse should be something that you either love or not right off the bat.
If you are not 100% in love, then I'd turn it loose.

pinkshoulders · Nov 5th, 2009, 03:35 PM

It's OK. I think it would get old pretty fast.
