Large, padded tote. DD says its horrible. She's put me off it.

I'm not mad on either colour or fabric. The design is ok though. If they do them in subtler colours might be more versatile? Unless you wear a lot of very brights? Nothing wrong with that if it's your style.

ReframeFeelings · 20/07/2024 14:23

She's put you off it? Do YOU still like how it looks?

Some people are probably going to reply that they like it and some people are probably going to reply that they don't. I'm not sure what bearing that has on how it looks through your eyes.

Yes your DS is right. Charity shop.

It wouldn't be for me, I don't think I've ever owned anything in that cerise/bright pink colour. If you do though it's a fairly standard tote bag. It's not offensive in anyway.

I have metallic silver large padded tote l use as a beach bag.. l get loads of people asking where l got it .
Padded bags are very popular.. big or small.
I actually love the one you like..

MonsteraMama · 20/07/2024 14:27

It's not my taste, but do you like it? It could be sparkly neon orange with turquoise ostrich feathers and if you like it that's all that matters. Sod what other people think.

Hardingham291 · 20/07/2024 14:28

I thought it was on trend but not according to DD. Love the colour.

Is your dd a teenager? For 99% of them nothing matters more than blending in completely with everyone else. They can't be relied upon for matters of taste.

leeverarch · 20/07/2024 14:32

Your DD is right. It looks like a toddler's sleeping bag, and the Barbie pink colour doesn't do it any favours either. Might be all right in navy or black otherwise.

Sunsetchaser01 · 20/07/2024 14:34

Nah, I like it. We live in a grey miserable country, we need a bit of brightening up here 😁.

Hardingham291 · 20/07/2024 14:36

Sounds like it's a marmite bag. I'm going to stand by it! I wear a lot of navy so thought it'd be a nice pop of colour.

Don’t like the fabric. Colours a bit much too - for me anyway, and I love a bright bag. Looks a bit cheap. Would work as a kids bag or something, but defo not a handbag imo. Sorry op - you did ask!

TheFlis · 20/07/2024 14:40

A bit cheap looking but certainly not horrible. I like the colour!

AndForAFortnightThereWeWereForever · 20/07/2024 14:40

Not a fan sorry @Hardingham291 I like the colour, but the bag itself is fugly.

BestestBrownies · 20/07/2024 14:45

God no. It looks like the sort of bag you'd keep knitting or crochet in. Or like a beginner's project at quilting club.

Nothing wrong with the colour itself, but it doesn't work on that style bag.

Massive thumbs down from me, but my 7yo niece would probably love it.

Wahine24 · 20/07/2024 17:11

Not my taste, not a fan of the colour, it looks like a supermarket buy. Would navy not rub against it and mark it?
If we all like the same it would be boring

Berlinlover · 20/07/2024 17:13

I really like it.

ViciousCurrentBun · 20/07/2024 17:16

It looks like a bedspread that’s been cut up for a needlework project, sorry op.

67666d · 20/07/2024 17:16

Sorry, I'm not sure on the shape, colour or even size/function - it doesn't look like any thought has gone into its design or function. I'm sorry to offend, but think it looks a bit childish as well. However, it may function well for you.

heinzseight · 20/07/2024 17:18

It's bright and fun, and it's just a bag, who cares if you like it! Unless it cost hundreds of pounds in which case I'd take it back...

DancingNotDrowning · 20/07/2024 17:19

Padded bags are on trend but this one isn’t nearly puffy enough, it looks a bit cheap.

FourToTheMFingFloor · 20/07/2024 17:19

It's really really horrible 😆 but if you love it then bugger what anyone else thinks!

bananaboats · 20/07/2024 17:23

It looks like something you would have got free with a magazine back I'm the day, sorry op!

ButterCrackers · 20/07/2024 17:24

It’s great. I love the colour and look of the bag.

DancingNotDrowning · 20/07/2024 17:25

If you want something puffy this would be more on trend. If that’s what you care about.
