Okay. No Chanel for me. Good thing I can't afford it, anyway.

See threads regarding the issue over. She was in love with a German. No one knew at the time what "nazi" meant like we know now. I'm a teacher and am currently teaching how Hitler got to power in 1933-1934 and how among others Neville chamberlain - the British Prime minister at the time admired him. Little they know about his plans. German soldiers- they had no choice but joining the army. It does not again make them a nazi.

1. Vera Bradley, the whole design is just flowery vomit to me..
2. LV multi colored/cherry anything. It's not playful or whimsical, it looks childish and cheap
3. Calvin Klein - incredibly bad quality
4. Hermes - if I see this bag I assume the wearer is disgustingly rich and has money to throw away. The price is out of this world and in no way worth it.

OH- do not put down Balenciaga!!!!:laugh: Love them to pieces!!!:love: They are so addicting b/c the leather is amazing, they are so light weight to carry and the colors are gorgeous! I love the tassels.

Bags that bug me are fakes! I hate it so much! I get ill when I see them.

Oh i totally agree with you the light weight bag and cute colours. i used to think why gals goes crazy over balenciaga? nothing special and so expensive until i saw the actual bag, feel it , touch it especially the Giant 12 city... :) Now i am in love with them !

Saying that Miu miu is still my favourite no. 1

I have to say the one thing i really dislike is the LV Damier Azur Range. Not so much
on the shape , but the checkered patterns drives me nuts. To me it is old fashion with no taste.

Whenever my husband chooses a checkered shirt.. i told him NO. it makes u 10 years older. I like classic but Checkered is definately No No No..

So u can say i am not a chess player too:P

+1 to the Vera Bradley. Half the ladies in my church have Vera Bradley ( or VB like) bags. Too much quilting and floral print.

1.I can understand why alot of woman like Vera..even tough its the fisrt time i heard of it. its causual, bottom line affordable to most. but i have to say its not to my liking.

2.Yes totally agrees LV multicolour n cherry when first launch i thought it was a fake because of its extremely pop colours and fruity and i bought a bag from a shop for $20 not Lv style but similar pattern in flowers and different motifs.. but for a high end bag i cant except to have that sort of prints.. it sort of brings down the brand. My husband use to tell me LV is for granny's who have no taste. to a certain degree i sort of agrees with him. but i have to say i love their travel trunks which i hope one day i will own one and their tradition mongram is the one i feel in love with, very nice motifs, each is different .. rather than repeats of logos:)

3. calvin klein - only buy their clothes and jeans never even actually pay attention to their bags..so no comment on this

4. Hermes is for the rich and unreachablesssss! why dont buy brands that have similar design and cost only 1/50 of the price...i do like th classic look of the bag but i dont need to spent more than $10k for a bag.. i rather spent it on a nice get away holiday if i have $10k lying ard:)

I don't like Kipling or LeSportsac or probably Longchamp either because I hate the feel of the nylon! It feels utilitarian and cheap rather than pretty or luxurious or feminine. If I was pitching a tent with it, it'd be great, but for a purse, not interested. I understand the practicality of the nylon, but I still want soft and pretty.
