Thoughts on embroidered Tiger bag?

[KittieKelly]

What are your thoughts on this style? Silly? Classic? Too Mature? or really cute and you'd wear it?
I have it in my cart but i'm holding back from hitting the checkout button. Help me decide

I tried it on (I being the Gucci paper-tiger

Plus points (for me)

If you are in need of a shopper than it'll be great.
It has 2 different sides so you don't always have to show the tiger.
Great value considering what you get
The leather trim is fantastic
Loads of room, and pockets for organisation

Minus

Fairly heavy (about the same an H Birkin)
(for me) more a Summer bag
Not an everyday bag
Not sure how it can be cleaned

Thank you so much
I thought about how to clean it too, seems like it would be a challenge.
Was it really big?

Like a proper shopper, so a bit bigger than I was ideally looking for

I think it looks stupid, you will probably grow tired of it after a short while tbhush:

Only because you're asking, I don't like it. I think it's a tad bit silly, but that is great if you want a fun piece. Not my style, but you like it then you should get it.

Not a fan, sorry.

 

[KittieKelly]

I am going to pass on it, maybe if it was small, but its too big and obvious.
Thank you so much for your opinions

Love the shape and style of the bag, but not a fan of the tiger print on it at all.

There is another variation

I saw it in person and loved it. I think it's beautiful and unique. I also think it will be one of those handbags that will become a sought after vintage in the future. I wish I could add it to my collection but I'm maxed out right now on purse funds =)

I agree. It looks less 'cartoon' IRL. I like it coz I have 2 little tigers of my own .

Fendi, Kenzo, Hermes (first with their Kelly Idole, more recently, a 'shark' Bolide) and others have all embraced their more fun sides. Certainly this bag is a lot tamer than than the Dionysus City bags this season.

When you think about the price of some bags that are just simple totes, this is a true work of art.

Anyway, I've 'book-marked' this bag in my head (and the other variation too). It's an affordable piece of wearable art

i personally love it. i have a tiger tattoo so it would work very well for me. not everyone would want to be so matchy matchy though.
