Opinions on this bag please

[DesigningStyle]

Oh, my artistic side is coming out! I do draw and sketch an aweful lot. It is a .59 cent eraser by Sanford...about 2" x 1" rectangular and tan. Go ahead and google it. It may be ArtGum and not two words. I got the idea when I bought a kit to clean suede shoes and it came with an eraser-like object to rub on the suede...I thought, 'I wonder if that ArtGum eraser of mine could be useful to spruce up the handle of my Viva-cite!' And, I was pleased with the result. You should be able to buy one at any office supply store or art/craft store...it is definately worth the investment.

bvbirdygirl...no the eraser is solid. It is not gummy. I know the gummy one you are talking about...I am NOT recommending anything gummy on your LV bags! The Sanford ArtGum eraser is a solid tan eraser that makes a lot of eraser dust when you use it...it is NOT gummy at all.

Irene, if you can not find this eraser in Canada I can send you one. Let me know.

It is a gorgeous bag. The only thing that is irritating is that in Coach's new Denim Resort collection, they made a Weekend tote that has the same concept--even the rope handles!!

I purchased the Coach one, but ended up taking it back on Tuesday.

I like it!
But I agree..it seems like it would be better for a vacation on a cruise or something

That art eraser..my art teacher calls it a kneadable eraser.
They sell them at the art store Curry's or Loomis & Toles(?) here in Toronto.

Oh dear, perhaps the ArtGum eraser needs a picture posted...IceChampagne, the ArtGum eraser is NOT kneadable. Please if anyone is going to give it a try, be sure to do a google image search with the words Sanford ArtGum to see the eraser. It is a tan rectangular eraser that is solid not kneadable or moldable.

I know what you mean about hte rope handles. i decided against it. If the handles were different i would get it and not worry about the size.

But the fact that its huge AND has rope handles...

I love the shape and think it would make a lovely summer bag, especially on a beach vacation, but like others have noted, the rope handles seem like trouble to me.

I love this bag! It's so cute! I want it for a summer beach tote, but I hear even the PM version is huge. My vote is yes!

 

[mewlicious]

It's very seasonal, but I still love it. I agree with Irene about the Private Yacht... LOL we can all dream The bag is a good start to it.

This is a type of bag I imagine you'd take with you when you vacation on private yacht. It's gorgeous but I've owned bags with rope handles before and once they get dirty, forget about it! There is nothing you can do to clean them. I'd say NAY and ONLY because it's too high maintenance to use and too expensive not to use!

My thoughts exactly! It's gorgeous to look at though!

 

[mariska]

I like the way it looks and the rope-like straps make it look unique, but it's way too big for me.

 

[BagLadie]

I don't really like it. Looks like a big dirt magnet!!! I would see my 3 kids running at me and scream!!! Too much maintenance. The whole azur line is pretty though.

Yeah it's beautiful but REALLY really big. It's almost a beach tote size. But if you love it, you should get it
