I adore the designs of VW, I have a few small items (wallets, clutches) and they hold up really well. I know my cousin has a large tote, much like the one in your first picture and it's held up for like 5 years (she got it in HK, where as slip said it's very popular). I think the quality matches the price point and the designs are unique, especially over here.
 
I know! That's my big thing... Because it's not so popular here, it's risky. I prefer the Italian-made stuff, but some of the Japanese ones are so cute. They'd make handy little every day bags, too.
 
There's a lot of fakes on ebay and even in Yahoo! Taiwan auction site so must be very careful. The prices are usually a giveaway. Some of them are also hard to tell that they are fakes!!
 
Hi Ladies,
I am usually on the gucci board or lurking on the LV as I deciede on one ..I was in Nordstrom rack today and they had a bunch of the nylon/patent leather trim bags.. I loved one but I am afraid it might be too big on me as I am very petite ( 5ft and tiny).. its the westwood tote in black ..they had the white and black but with two small kids I felt the white might be a disaster:rolleyes:...
what do you ladies think of the westwood? I saw another tote there but the patent lether handles that go on the shoulder were thicker than the westwood and were literally slipping off my small shoulders.. it was a cute bag though..

they also had some cross body messenger style but I already have some more "practical " hands free bags and wanted something a little more "fabulous" since I am a mommy and seem to always go for the practical choice..

any thoughts or suggestions...? I am going to try to post a pic of me with it later when the kiddies go to bed..
 
Hi Devommusic! I am a Mommy too and I have the Los Feliz Wiltshire in black. I love it. It is very glam while still being "practical" to carry with the kids. Yes, pleae do post pics when you have a chance!!
 
Hi lovemybags13,
I saw that same tote there as well,the whilsire but it was wierd ,the handles have that thick lether and it kept literally sliding off my shoulder! I guess I have small shoulders or maybe hte leather there makes it slippery ..I really liked that one better but in the time I put it on my shoulder and stood in in the mirror ,it kept sliding..I figured that if it was doing it now it would be driving me crazy..but that size looked better on... I went with this one because it seemed to stay on my shoulder better.. the straps are not as thick I guess?

I will post a pic ,I'll take one today...didn't want my husband to see the bag yet because I wasn't sure I was going to keep it :sneaky: terrible huh?:laugh:

Hello :p
This summer I bought this lovley stiched tote by Vivienne Wetwood.
It is quite large, yet classy without the yellow star (which can be taken off).
Does anyone else like bags from VW?
My intent with this thread was to ask if someone else has it,
and when do you wear it?
For travels, or do you use it everyday?
