Yay or Nay?

Abandonedimages, share more sites? Count on it, kid! :biggrin:

Two bags I'd love to get my hands on, what do you think?

I love cats.

Ebags actually makes some bags as well! The Kalya tote is supposed to be a gym bag, but some purchasers have used it as a carryon, and a few even found it made a great diaper bag. It's not available in black, but comes in four colours, including (whisper this) cornflower blue.

I had fun reading the 181 reviews. Some people just have too much time, eh? :biggrin:

Haha! I never thought of it as you have too much time, I always thought you just find the cutest treasures in the most overlooked places!

Holy moly! Those first two are PRECIOUS! The cat on the front, and the nickel feet at the bottom [heart!]. I cant get over the interior - its STRIPES! I'm IN LOVE with stripes, seriously. I really like the black one. Did you see the JP Lizzy tote I'm getting? Yep, striped interior as well, lol!

Now this -

Love! I can see that as a carry-on, maybe even a messenger type bag. I really liked it in the baby blue too! I shall be browing ebags late into the night now :P You've got me constantly staring at all the Tignanello (sp?) and Monsac I wish I had the money for.

From the reviews, it appears ebags made the Kalya tote in black as well, but for a short period (Jan 2006). A black Kalya would be great as a messenger, I think.

This looks cute but will it work as a messenger?

Hm. Well the first, you might be able to pull off as a messenger. The strap is adjustable, but it doesnt look by much.

That second one really is too sweet! I would love to tote that around. Look at the little dog in the corner, lol. The color scheme is perfect.

Look at these by Dakine, they're a little funky (I wish I could get a peek at the interior). What do you think? The full name is Dakine Mailboy - too masculine? The first seems a little boy-ish.

Alright! Another site to add! I like Liz Claiborne, I havent heard any of the girls on here talk about her stuff much.

I really like that one, although it would be too small for all my junk, I think the orange one in that style is gorgeous! I've been drawn to orange lately as well.

Nay on that shearling...but an early congrats on soon to be 1,000th post!!
Thank you!
 
Oh wow. You know me, I'm partial to patterns such as those (especially the green you posted) - of course I like them, lol :P For the most part the reviews are positive and the price is just right. I love nearly all the patterns. Its even got a short handle at the top in case you dont plan to wear it as a messenger.

How about these? Compliments of Overstock.com. I like them, they're The Sak, and pretty low priced ($42.99), but might not be as spacious -

Also, I know these aren't messenger bags, and you can't even purchase them online, but what do you think of these bags by Charles David? They look a bit "inspired" huh?

[edit] Darn. Wont let me hotlink. Here though - http://www.charlesdavid.com/?pageid=products&collections_id=3&catid=&products_id=201&pageIndex=
 
I like the Sak, they have got some good-looking and reasonably-priced bags. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll pass it on to this poster on the TFS (Fashion Spot) forum who was asking for recommendations for a black messenger. Budget: $50. Naturally, I told her about e .. b .. :biggrin:

Anytime! :]
 
I like the strap on that! Earlier werent some of the girls discussing bags made out of parachute/sail material? I cant remember which thread that is, maybe I can find it again in a minute.

Really? Someone bought a Charles David? Oh, I'm so jealous, they're so pretty. I saw some in real life. I wish they weren't so pricey!

These messengers aren't that fashionable, but definitely interesting - http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/retail/catalog.htm?categoryId=5&skusetId=88.

Are you a Target shopper? :] (I've developed an addiction to Target as well lately, lol)
 
Target and Gap have some nice and very reasonably-priced bags, but I haven't browsed on their sites for ages - not enough time :biggrin:

From memory, it was Leah who bought that Charles David, I could be wrong.
