not to be too technical about it but I am pretty sure the Bolide is a copy of the Alma
No. Bolide came first.

Lol I think LC's downfall is that they have been so successful that the bags have been seen so much. If I had never seen it before, would I love it? I think I will!![]()
LV Alma is a copy of Hermès Bolide. LV Totally is a copy of MK Jet Set. Saint Laurent Sac de Jour for Birkin. Givenchy Nightingale is a copy of an older Celine bag (first season of Phoebe for Celine). Mansur Gavriel bucket bag is a copy of LV Noe. Jimmy Choo Mave is a copy of Balenciaga clutch. The list goes on....
Really dislike MK bags. The quality in craftsmanship and original design just isn't there. I don't see what makes his bags any different than the "inspired by" ones or fakes that other people have.
I would totally disagree that the Saint Laurent sac de jour is a copy of a birkin, completely different bags IMO.
- the shape is different
- the way the bag opens is different
- the base of the handles are different
- one has hardware on the front the other doesn't
- the Saint Laurent has accordion sides (sure the birkin uses gussets too but they are visually very different)
- Saint Laurent comes with a strap
- even the shape of the feet at the bottom are different
I just don't see it?
Also the givenchy nightengale came out in 2006, phoebe didn't even join Celine until 2008, and took until 2009 to debut her collection.
I'm totally with you on this! Compared to MK, I preferred Kate spade!
Amanda Mull blogged about the Sac du Jour here when it first came out and the general impression was that it was a Birkin copy. Of course now that time has passed and it aquired its own cult following, people think it doesn't resemble the Birkin.I would totally disagree that the Saint Laurent sac de jour is a copy of a birkin, completely different bags IMO.

This just goes to show how the "inspired by" debate can go on and on in circles.
Haha, Hobbsy, this made me laugh. Totally agree about micro bags!Every micro bag! What are you going to carry in it? One key?!! Every bag with wings, please fly away, far, far away! Goyard bags, every one of them! Why?! They're very unpleasant to look at. Chanel bags should only be sold to women over 75.

To answer the original, question... No, I don't mind seeing any handbag and if in fact, I like seeing how different people style their look (or not) with a bag.
Amazingly, I don't see the one accessory a lot I dislike - the fanny pack. In fact, I just want on vacation in October to Venice Italy and a cruise. I don't recall seeing a fanny pack. Make fanny packs go away.
