Opinion needed on this Isabella Fiore please!

[Halzer]

I quite like the look of this Isabella Fiore Bag. Im thinking that I would use it as a casual-with-jeans bag.

Do you think the bag is cute or shall I continue my search?

It's quite cute, but which other bags have you considered? Since you're in the UK, can I ask you about Alison van der lande bags (just out of curiosity )? If you have seen one of her bags, what's the quality like?

Very cute! I think that would look very nice with jeans.

I think I like the one passerby suggested better. The 2 things about IF bags is they tend to be heavy and this one looks like it might be stiff. I'd like a softer bag. The woven leather does look nice though.

I really like this one!!

I like IF but not this one, sorry...It kinda reminds me of a Kooba bag, I'd check those out.

It looks like it will be quite bulky. I'd keep looking. I find IF bags to be quite heavy as well.

I think it's quite cute. But the great thing about Zappos.com is that you get free shipping *and* free returns. It makes it so convenient. But I see that you are in the UK... so I'm not sure if the same policy applies for international shipping & returns.

Yep..Im not going to order from Zappos because like you said...no international shipping. I was using their pics of the bag as they showed the bag from all angles.

Thanks for the opinions. Im gonna keep looking. I like the style but I dont really think the velvet that is woven in with the leather will last long.

Thanks again

I like the style and I like the strap (reminds me a little of Kooba Sienna straps), but I'm not a big fan of woven leather bags. I don't know what it is - whether they too closely resemble straw bags or what - I just have never gotten on the woven leather band-wagon (altho they are pretty in style right now)

I know this bag's not part of your survey, but I'd vote for this one!!! Everytime I've seen Isabella Fiore bags online and they look cute - when I see them in person they are too big, too bulky and just look plain clunky. Not something I'd carry. Just a word of advice. However, if you already own I.F. and you like her style, then that's a different story.

Good luck either way! You have to be happy... not us!

I bought the whipstitch Elaina in bronze and it is gorgeous! The leather is very soft, and it is a little heavy, but I don't care because it's so lovely!

 

[JNH14]

I currently love this woven one that's on sale at NM half price, as well. I really think that it's cute! Love most of IF's styles!

 

[socalgem]

It took me awhile to warm up to IF bags.

I like both bags. Either would be great with a pair of jeans.

I voted no.. I like it the weave detail, but I don't like the design
