I never understood why everyone was going so crazy about Botkier and Kooba bags a year or so ago. I think most of the Botkier bags are just plain fugly. As for Kooba, their prices went up but they started being made in China.

Never loved Botkier...they seem like they would fall apart, but some of the older Kooba's I LOVED...then they went a little nuts!

Although I definitely don't like to say that I don't like an entire line of anything (I am sure there is one piece of EVERY brand that I would like...maybe)....HOWEVER....

I don't buy for myself personally: (Hope I don't offend anyone:laugh: )

  • Anything Patent Leather:throwup:
  • Burberry (eventhough there are some that I do like)
  • MC LV's (probably since I have so many vintage pieces)
  • Goyard...what is it...yuck (no offense)
  • Juicy...
  • Coach - I am jut not into their styles at all & all the SA think they are big ****!
  • DB - never got into them
  • HATE the FENDI SPY BAG & THE B-BAG! The Spy reminds me of a crinkled mollusk
  • Actually...I don't like anything Fendi...LOL...
Then again, I am VERY strange when it comes to handbags...I have to LOVE it to buy it!!!!

Hope I didn't offend anyone, oh...I don't really love the nylon Prada's...
 
the balanciaga..
i liked it for a bit but got tired of it really quickly..i think it's because too many people had knock-offs, it just became too popular and over-rated.
i don't like the fendi spy either...it looks.....awkward to me..
 
the chloe, sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't.


Do you mean the Paddington? I think it's a good looking bag and I like it on other people, but it's not my style, either.

Obviously, other (very different) Chloe bags have been, though! :laugh:

I don't really understand the appeal of the Birkin and yet, some people seem to think that you must just be saying that because you can't afford it! :shrugs:

For the money, I'd far prefer a top of the range BV, like the Karung Chain Bag! :love:

I find the B Bag disturbingly unnattractive (sorry B Bag fans! :shame: ), but really like the Spy Hobo.

I'm also not that into logoed bags, so most LV and anything in monogrammed canvas is not really my 'bag'!

The list is endless, really.

In fact, there are far more bags that I would rather not own, than ones I would!
 
Would never buy:
Anything w/ lots of shiny gold hw, animal print or logos all over the bag.


But I can't name a certain brand, most brands have some design I really like and some I don't get at all: Love the spy, don't understand the fendi bbag. Love the paddy, don't get the Edith. Love the chanel classic flapbags, not a fan of the oversize totes. Love anything LV epi, dont get mc. Love the balenciaga motorcycle bags, don't like the quilted ones much.
 
^ I agree. :yes: Never say never to an entire brand.

I forgot to add that I really don't get the Chloe Tracy. :shrugs: As I said on the Chloe forum; it reminds me of a constipated robot.

Phoebe Philo left Chloe and the style left with her, IMHO. :sad:
 
Another thing i wanted to mention...what is up with LV and their new lines? What is the leopard about? and i know a lot of people love it, but the new mini lin doesn't hold a candle to last years colors. miroir? lv needs to realize they can only do so much with their monogram. they need to realize they are NOT a trendy bag/luggage co.
 
I'm really really really over the Louis Vuitton thing. EVERYBODY has one and MOST of them are fakes. I just can't get into them.
Not into Prada. Just doesn't appeal to me. If I'm gonna pay that much for a bag, you better believe it's gonna be leather or jacquard... not that bookbag material I see so much of. (And they've never made a shape of bag that appeals to me asthetically either.)
I'm done with Coach until further notice. The Scribble thing did it for me. I revere their vintage stuff (the leather was unbelievable) but the new stuff is for the birds.
Dooney... eh... I'm trying to get into them. I've got some vintage pebble leather bags that I tote from time to time, but they new stuff just doesn't tickle me. And I almost wish LV had NEVER done that Murakami thing... every designer thereafter bit off it, including D&B with those accursed hearts and yick...

What can I say... I'm a picky bagger. :D
 
i think i'll be sat here all day listing stuff but here goes..

-chanel cambon, especially pink. no no no no no.
-lv denim (why?)
-lv mc (even the real ones look fake to me now)
-lv fringe (when i first saw it i must have looked something like this :wtf: )
-lv leopard :wtf:
-burberry nova check (especially pink,eww)
-coach anything. i think. i've never seen anything i liked.
-dior girly (see a pink theme here?)
-dior rasta
-juicy bags
-ysl muse (i don't *hate* it and if someone were to give me one i'd probably even carry it but i can't get excited about it)
-d&b anything
-dior gaucho (i don't *hate* it but i don't get it either)
-luella anything, can't believe i almost forgot.. i can't STAND those gisele bags. yuck.
-mulberry roxanne in candy colours. i used to hate it altogether but then i saw my cousin's brown one and it wasn't too bad when it wasn't pink or baby blue. i doubt i'd ever buy one though.


so anything in candy pastels, lots of logos (although i do like a nicely beaten up lv monogram canvas), and fussy straps, buckles and things.
