What does this bag say to you?

I'm in desperate need of an image over haul, I would live to be slightly classier. Does this bag say classy to you?

Nope, it's too wintry and you have to be quite dressy/ nice makeup to carry it off.

I'm also not keen on bowling bags unless you have a very slim silhouette and are tall as they are boxy.

bristolcities · 06/04/2011 18:03

I'm tall but not skinny. I have lots of dark hair and wear make up most of the time.

Wintry? I can't really afford to buy a summer and winter bag. So this would have to last for years and Sassoon's aren't really relevant.

But I do know what you mean. Maybe not suitable as a bag full of fruit shoots, toy cars and half eaten packets of crisps?

I think its very bet lynch. Sorry.

Gillybobs · 06/04/2011 18:06

Its very glamorous and would probably only work if you dress very smartly all the time. I think you cant beat a nice tan leather bag for a classy everyday look.

bristolcities · 06/04/2011 18:06

Oh no Bet Lynch is good Grin was worried I might look like an emo.

bristolcities · 06/04/2011 18:11

OP posts:
MikeRotch · 06/04/2011 18:11

bigTillyMint · 06/04/2011 18:13

the bag says fahsionable to me

mumsnet have aversion to leopard

bristolcities · 06/04/2011 18:19

Well I have a leopard print, actually any animal print addiction.

I will mainly be wearing grey and black as per. I like to think I look like a mafia wife, I have a feeling I may be deluded Grin

LaurieFairyCake · 06/04/2011 18:33

I like leopard print but I do think it's too dark and wintry for the next six months

You need a nice tan slouchy bag.

mulberryless · 06/04/2011 18:35

Ilike it! I'd go for a tan leather myself but I do like it. You can easily use it day or evening. I've got a few orla kiely's in bright colours and you do have to be careful what you are wearing with it. Go girl.

Iloveshoes001 · 06/04/2011 18:36

I am so glad the sping is here and I can get rid of all the grey (what a depressing season it was for clothes). If you want something bright and interesting for a summer bag check these out. I've got one of the drawstring satin ones and one of the handbags. They're fab, and pretty cheap when you compare them to Accessories or the like.

pink4ever · 06/04/2011 19:00

I love it op but agree its more of a winter bag.I have a couple of Zara bags and they have lasted well and always get comments on them.

madammecholet · 06/04/2011 19:06

Umm, it will limit you to what you are wearing imo. If you mainly wear black and grey, why not buy a grey bag for spring/summer and these will go through to winter.......

I'ev bought from here too many times occassionally and leather ver ver good.Smile

mullberry (great name, I don;t have one either, a mulberry that is) and pink I'm inclined to trust your opinion (probably because you agree with me).

I'm really tempted by this, is it what you would class as a summer bag or am I way off the mark?

Ilove shoes lovely bags but I can't part with my greys. It's ummm...safe.

OP posts:
madammecholet · 06/04/2011 19:15

bristol don't part with the greys, just have a bag to match. Grin Love the Zara one too, quite formal though??

bristolcities · 06/04/2011 19:18

I really really like the Gabriela bag. Its lovely and satisfies my animal print addiction with out being tacky!

OP posts:
pink4ever · 06/04/2011 19:21

I like the red one as well.Just had a browse on the Zara website and a couple of things have caught my eye.Roll on next week when I will have some cash!.

bristolcities · 06/04/2011 19:22

Your right madamme thank god for MN I just don't seem to have this bag thing in the ummm bag Blush.

Also I'm really shocked by the spelling of wintry, just doesn't look right.

bigTillyMint · 06/04/2011 19:22

It looks a bit wannabe Wag to me.

LOVE Mme Cholets first link, the orange Zara one is OK.
