My DH just told me all of my patent leather bags look like plastic and that they look cheap! This really hurt my feelings!
that is sooo funny that you're posting this b/c just tonight my husband said he doesn't really like patent leather either, he prefers plain leather!!!! i told him tough titty said the kitty...I DO!
I agree with T-girl about loving the Zoe in patent. So pretty! Whatta bag... especially in berry and dark coral. Talk about sharp!
In fact, I like the look of Coach patent, in general. The colors just seem to pop in patent...they look richer to me, more vivid with all that shine. My DH generally compliments all my bags (seems to think it's cute I like my handbags so well, etc.), but if he didn't like one, I would still wear it (especially if I loved it).
I agree with the others here who question the taste men have in handbags. At the end of the day, who cares? If I want advice about who I should add to my fantasy football team, I'll go to my DH... but I figure a woman's gotta follow her heart when it comes to choosing a handbag.
