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

It’s the sort of thing I’d buy, thinking oh this looks cool. Fast forward a couple of weeks, I’m sick of it, and WTF was I thinking?!

I like the style, perfect for a 'throw everything in' day out or beach bag. I wouldn't buy that colour but I think it could look good against a dark outfit. If you like it, use it.

It's terrible

It is horrible!

Ok on holiday. Bit bright for UK.

newidentiy · 20/07/2024 18:15

I love it and if I saw someone with it it would make me smile, its lovely

RivkaTheBold · 20/07/2024 18:17

Issue for me is it's a summer colour but quilted. So not good for either season

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 20/07/2024 18:17

Well, Tinky Winky had one like it, and rarely put it down.

MadameMassiveSalad · 20/07/2024 18:18

Meh

wandawaves · 20/07/2024 18:18

I think it's awful.

Elliemayclampett · 20/07/2024 18:19

I like it. I have one similar in sage I use as my swimming bag.

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.

My mother did. Almost identical stitching pattern, too.

It was her bedspread - I think she bought it sometime around 1967 from Woolworths. or from her Great universal catalogue.

Izzynohopanda · 20/07/2024 18:22

Looks like a beach bag, or a bag you carry shopping in rather than having a carrier bag. Not a main handbag.

WetBandits · 20/07/2024 18:23

Looks like someone took scissors to a sleeping bag. It just looks unfinished.

TheHuntSyndicate · 20/07/2024 18:29

It is hideous.

I too was swayed a number of years ago by a quilted tote bag by Marc Jacobs in a royal blue colour.

My sister upon seeing it declared it to be a monstrosity and I had to agree.

It got relegated to being a crochet project bag.

jollygreenpea · 20/07/2024 18:30

I love the colour, I wear a lot of navy as well so would buy it for the same reasons as you op.
I would prefer it without the stitching though.
I don't care what anyone else thinks.

mondaytosunday · 20/07/2024 18:44

Love it! But I'd be using it on a holiday or beach or market shopping. When were you thinking of using it?

Breadcat24 · 20/07/2024 18:58

yes

ThePoshUns · 20/07/2024 18:59

Yes it is

Sethera · 20/07/2024 19:00

No, I like it.

Tinatheterror · 20/07/2024 19:01

I like the style okay, but too bright for me..The main thing is that you like it

Aquamarine1029 · 20/07/2024 19:04

I love pink, but not that pink. Personally, I think it looks rather low quality. BUT, if you like it you should definitely definitely use it. I have bags I'm sure 95% of the population wouldn't like and I don't care.

Doggymummar · 20/07/2024 19:05

Yes, awful
