pretty.bit carpet bag-y imo.

love this one green.

do you like the bag though!!sometimes its nice to have a change!

SixtyFootDoll · 13/09/2010 22:11

I dont like it sorry

SixtyFootDoll · 13/09/2010 22:11

I dont like the green on either

LauraNorder · 13/09/2010 22:11

It's ok - ish!

GeekyGirl · 13/09/2010 22:16

It's quite nice but won't go with everything in the way leather does. I would use it to keep my knitting in.

virgo1979 · 13/09/2010 22:44

the only reason i would keep it is because it is like nothing else i have....and it is big enough to hold my crap and DS's crap. keep sticking it on my shoulder and having a look, but not sure. i dont really like the per una stuff to be honest, prefer the autograph stuff....think have just talked myself into exchanging it...

i have a real rep for exchanging presents.....am not fussy, people should know what i like!

Good decision - I would be returning it pronto.

Librashavinganotherbiscuit · 14/09/2010 08:18

oh my LORD.return.

A friend of mine has this, not going to set the world alight but it's a lovely bag with lots of room

nickschic · 14/09/2010 08:21

Oh i like it!!!

Its very seasonal looking and I think will look great.

Maryqueenofchocs · 14/09/2010 08:22

grim....return it.

GormlessHeart · 14/09/2010 08:25

return it, it's not that interesting fabric-wise and won't go with things the way leather will. If it was a beautiful print, or interesting like ikat or something then yeah but... nah!

TrinityTheLonelyBrokenRhino · 14/09/2010 08:29

hideous

upahill · 14/09/2010 08:33

I like the description 'Give it the Per una twist' that means put on a load of unnecessary applique, over the top embrodiary and totally over design an item!!

JustAnother · 14/09/2010 08:58

hate it.

WhatsWrongWithYou · 14/09/2010 09:01

If you read the review it mentions 'lovely subtle glitter.' 'Nuff said.

virgo1979 · 14/09/2010 09:21

am going to get these instead....(have loads of bags already and normally spend a bit more on my bags as they are something use every day....)

whatcha think of these?

pagwatch · 14/09/2010 15:35

Really.

iwilldothis · 14/09/2010 15:43

Nah. Too old-ladyish, especially if you say you are the H&M/gap/topshop & jeans type girl .

virgo1979 · 14/09/2010 16:36

thanks all. i think i just wanted to confirm what i felt deep down. and she gave me the gift receipt so obviously wont get upset if i exchange.....
