opinions please - yay or nay?

[bagmad73]

I am yearning for this bag but in the pink /nude colour. It doesn't seem too popular here? I've done searches and haven't come up with much.
So, yay or nay...and why?
Thanks so much - your opinions are important to me.

I'm not wild about the bag, but I always want outside pockets and I like a single strap. I've seen this bag in person and it feels wonderful, is nice and roomy and the pink/nude color is gorgeous. If it was me, though, and I wanted a soft pink bag, I would go with either the Nappa Charm bag on mytheresa.com or the coffer in the soft pink. Hope this helps!

I like it for the texture of the ba..It's different..which is cool!! Do you have a link for the color you want?

Thanks lpsimer.
EMMY - can't find a link. I tried the black one and love the shape of it. If I manage to find one, I will post it. Thanks!!

I know a BV is so much more, but like their bag similar to this better.

Longchamp, that's what my gf told me.......sigh!!! I really like it though. Maybe the yearning will pass? LOL

Nay. It looks too close to a BV and for the price, you can still get a uniquely Miu Miu design. Otherwise, when it comes to woven leather, go for the original BV.

I buy my BV bags from the store in Chicago, and they have really good sales, their sale price will beat Bluefly. Call them, don't have the number handy and they will tell you when and what's on sale.

I have the nude color (mine has the fringes though). I know many people love the BV better. I'm a BV fan too and have a few but this to me has a very different feeling to BV. The BV weave is very tight and structured and this weave is unique and feels looser, more slouchy. I personally like this bag even better than my BV!
I love the nude color, it's so pretty!
