Hello ladies! ^^;

I can't seem to decide if this bag is worth it..
I've never messed with Steve Madden bags before so I have no idea on how the material is.. durable or what nots..

Let me know if you guys think it's worth it or not. ^^;
Any opinions welcome!

I really like it! Like a lot

It is a cute bag no doubt, but be aware that it looks a lot like Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr. Q. Groovee satchel- seems like Steve Madden stuff is very "inspired by" lately...

I would check it out in stores first to see if you like it just as much in person.

^agree, and the metal plaques remind me of Prada

I personally wouldn't buy a steve madden for $218. It's a cute style, but like betnyp and graciella said, it's very inspired. Also, for $218 I think you can get a bag of much better quality. I'm not very fond of Steve Madden's leathers.

I think you can find a better bag for the money, No doubt its cute... but alittle expensive for Steve Madden.

I think if you like the style/size of the purse you should get it, even if its your first purchase w/that particular brand, gotta try it to see if you like it!.. I really like the black one w/the gold hardware... super cute!

 

[monokuro]

Thank you all for your opinions. I do agree that it looks a bit inspired.. but It also sort of doesn't. ^^;

I'm buying it thru Nordstroms website.. so if I don't like it once I receive it.. I can always get my money back and return to the store. ^^;

I think it's really cute, but I'm not a fan of all the hardware on the front.

 

[pinkshoulders]

Given what else you own, I think you might be disappointed at the quality, but since you can always return it, it's probably worth holding in your hands for a bit and knowing for sure.

I like it! The metal bar handle and metal plate reminds me Prada. I like its shape, size and price. I would say this is a good find.

 

[bagaholic85]

i think its cute, and the price is reasonable. worst case scenario if u dont like it just return it

 

[gucci fan]

good price good bag

It's a cute bag but I can see where the other members have said it looks inspired by. But hey as long as it's not a knock off it's cool with me.
