No. It's just the wrong side of Roman road market for me.

- i really liked it as it was less market than juicy couture, say, but still a bit nancy del'olivo (sp?) whoo i secretly quite like.

No - its not even leather which is pretty outraegous for that price.

Jigsaw have some lovely bags at similar price.

not being leather is good (vegetarian).

jigsaw i suspect to be a bit frumpy - am i wrong?

What do you like about it? The quilting? The shape? The chain? The logo?

Which was the VW one you liked?

If you're not fussed about leather, then there should be something... what's your budget?

madammecholet · 01/09/2011 17:57

I don't dislike it, but I would remove is the big gold logo. too bling for me.

MrsCampbellBlack · 01/09/2011 18:46

Aha - didn't even think about the vegetarian option

The Moschino would be mistaken for a Chanel. Just pointing out the obvious dilemma 1st.

Thepoweroforangeknickers · 02/09/2011 01:59

Personally I think it's awful. Looks cheap and nasty.

Ifancyashandy · 02/09/2011 08:38

If you want that style, how about this from Jaeger?

Similar price and way classier. Seen it in the flesh and it's a lovely quality.

tethersend · 02/09/2011 09:13

I second Jaeger; beautiful bags, very good quality. This is similar, and hugely discounted.

the jaegar one is lovely, but too small. i really like a bit of shiny stuff, so i really loved the handle on the moschino.

westwood one i can't find, but was a simple rectangle with a thick long handle, in a muted tartan.

budget up to about 250 - needs to be hardwearing ish.

tethersend · 02/09/2011 09:22

Were both the Jaeger bags too small?

tethersend · 02/09/2011 09:24

Was this the westwood one?

Ifancyashandy · 02/09/2011 09:29

Wow Tethers, that's a fantastic discount! Off to find the credit card!

MelinaM · 02/09/2011 09:37

No, it's clearly a poor Chanel 2.55 copy, sorry

tether no and yes! the westwood one is gorgeous (saw it at bluewater) but just slightly too much as we have to buy a new washing machine and oven this month.

will go and visit the second jaegar one.

thanks melina
