A bag you love to look at and HATE to use ?

I have this gorgeous Jimmy Choo Biker Bag (I think that is the name) It is a flap, with a zip on the flap (hard to explain). And that's the problem.

The open part when you lift up the flap seems too shallow for contents not to possibly spill out, and using the zipper gets you into the big part of the bag (again, hard to explain) and it is all SO inconvenient and PITA but the bag looks gorgeous.

I tried to sell it on a good designer resale site where it sat for months. Finally had it returned to me. I do not have the stomach for e bay or any other personal selling platform. So Eff me. I'm stuck, unless I want to donate it, which I Haven't yet. Sorry don't know where this font came from or how to stop it...

OMG! I have this bag and you are so right the floppy zippered over flap part is as much a PITA as it is cute. I really don’t want to sell the bag because it’s one of my few larger bags and it’s cute / unique. But, I avoid wearing it because I just don’t want to deal with the flop.

This Gucci bag. .. I'm a sucker for the bows but it's become unwearable because my hair keeps getting wrapped up in the metal bows. I go to sit my purse down and a huge chunk of hair gets pulled out! It hurts! This bag is seriously ripping my hair out every time I wear it. Lol!
To be fair though- my hair is a more coarse thick texture and gets tangled in things easily. I'm also not the most careful person. I can't take care of anything, I am rough and careless at times.
I love the look of the bows but think I need to go back to a tote.
In other news- this forum has made me lust after a neverfull whereas before I didn't care much for LV. I like leather and like plain bags usually. Lol ( that was totally off topic! Sorry!)

This made me think of the Fendi By the Way bag ... I was so tempted to buy this a few years ago but every time I tried it on, the snaps on the strap would grab my hair and pull — ouch!

Funny thing is, my hair is shorter now so it probably wouldn’t be an issue, but I still hold a grudge against that bag!

Aaargh! Any bag that catches my hair makes me wanna scream! I have the Fendi BTW and it’s a hair puller. But, the bag is such a good looking “bench strength” bag with great functionality that I’ll never sell...and seriously consider getting a second.

I’m thinking of putting clear polish in the groove of the snaps since I never adjust the strap. If it doesn’t work, I can just peel it off without damaging the bag.

almost any structured bag. I love my bags to be pettable and huggable...

Most chain bags! Even if there is a slight chain on the handle my hair will definitely get tangled up in it and rip! I attribute this to messy, thick, long hair and wind makes it worse. I adore the aesthetic of chain bags and have several but reserve those for when I tie my hair up or style it away from my shoulders.
