Do these photo handbags make you puke or would you actually rather like one ?

Gina Alexander Photo Handbags

I'm interested in stocking these or similar for a child photography business (maternity, newborn, babies, kids) and the American market tends to go crazy for them. Just wondered what you all thought...

no seriously, if i dare go out without the kids its tears and tamtrums as soon as i get my keys, carrying a bag with the little monsters cherubs faces on would just increase my sometimes guilt.

[Aitch]

i do not like them.

[OracleInaCoracle]

hideous.

never, ever, ever.

[hub2dee]

Blimey, I better get them in fast then.

lol.

[hub2dee]

What would be interesting though is if I get one for Dee, and I select a decent shot for it, if she will get lots of people asking where she got it from etc...

I take it it is the mere concept of a photobag rather than these specific designs being of questionable merit ?

[cheesesarnie]

Hideous, although having said that my 74 year old mother would probably like one.

[Aitch]

probably, hub. tbh i'd be embarrassed to carry one, even the most gorge pic of dd, as it just marks you out as such a mum, iykwim?

[hub2dee]

OK, so maybe it would appeal to first-time mums before they turn into tired and weary battle-hardened mums ?

lol

[Aitch]

i'm a first-time mum, hub. even if you'd caught me as i was coming out of the labour room i wouldn't have lost my marbles enough to want one.

[ravenAK]

Not necessarily photos of dc though!

Bags themselves are gross (granny style) & hideously overpriced. Quite like the idea of having own choice of image on a big tote bag or bowling style bag.

[hub2dee]

pmsl aitch.

Aha, so maybe more tote stylee would do the trick, rather than 'structured' handbag. More of a beach bag vibe etc. ?

[hub2dee]

lol calif. Yes, maybe it's the 'fancy' shape and I should aim for more of the tote thing... if indeed I stock them at all...

[Aitch]

tbh hub, i don't think you can legislate for how shit some people's taste is...

[greenelizabeth]

Jayzus!!

If they were cheaper I would have got one for my mum when pfb was a week old! As a way of announcing to her friends that she was a grandma! But not at that price!

Could be a fun idea for a jokey handbag, like a picture of you and your friends when you were 17! But again, for £20 not $200

[greenelizabeth]

Misdee lol when I dare to go out without children, I get a little frisson of 'nobodyknowsI'mamother!'. A handbag with my tikes' muggs on it would blow my cover.

[ladytophamhatt]

If you stock them I'l almost guarantee they'll all end up in a big bargian bin atthe end of teh yr.

really, that are naff, too twee, vile and just plain shite.


(btw, am I imaging it or have you been away for yonks?)

[EyeballsintheSky]

Prob work well on the maternity ward. I signed up for everything there, even the photo of a random baby that is supposed to be dd but looks like someone shoved a bicycle pump into each ear and put in enough air to fill the tyres of a Hummer.

[hub2dee]

I have indeed been away for yonks.

Well, not away, just not hitting refresh every fifteen seconds ;-)
