Saw one today and really liked it (from afar) but not sure of the quality etc? Anyone care to express their opinions? Are they nice or not before I click buy?? Thx

Bought one back when it was the Bristol, but had to sell when you know who carried it. I wasn't massively impressed with the quality and I knew it would become ubiquitous. Happy ending though, some Middleton wannabe bought it from me for nearly £300 on eBay!

Ahh....ok, understand the pippa bit now. Didn't think about that one.

I'd never heard of it and saw a woman on the train today with one. Thought it looked nice and saw the brand. Their website makes them look like they are really well made etc. sounded bargainous, all that for £200.

Never mind. I'll keep searching.

Thx

I have it in chilli and really like it. I use it for work and travel by train/tube so it gets quite a hard time and I think it looks as new still (it's well over a year old). I'm very happy with the quality.
I'm glad I bought it!

Thx for replies. I have just sold the double buggy for a good price so might just up my handbag budget anyway!

I have the Millie, the quality is good and it is wearing well. I like the Pippa but the shoulder version is too small for me.

I have the Pippa shoulder bag in powder pink and I love it! I had to buy a leather protection spray as I've heard dark colours can rub onto the leather, but overall, I'm so pleased. There's really nice attention to detail (moreso than my friend's Mulberry's IMO, which are so overpriced), different compartments which are beautifully lined and two front pockets, handy for a phone, Oyster card etc.

I didn't realise it was famous because of Pippa Middleton (clue is in the name I guess) but I wouldn't let it put you off. I take it to work and it looks nice on more formal occasions too.

I love mine. Use it for work and it's very well made and has lots of lovely compartments. I now want the new purple one that's just appeared on their website.

I bought one in grey but I'm afraid I use it very seldom.

The design is great - ideal for my needs with masses of pockets, etc, including the invaluable front ones for Oyster cards, etc. Quality of leather also seems good.

But I find the metalware on it - too 'gold' and blingy - spoils it for me. Just not my style. Thought I'd get used to it, but haven't. Such a shame. if the metal had been more subtle, I'm sure the bag would have been a favourite. But these things are very personal.
