Another bag question. Is this lovely, blingy or just ordinary?

Really like it but something is stopping me hitting the buy button.

I got a grey bag and I love it - unsure at first but it's great.

I've got the charcoal version and I really like it. Perfect casual bag for me. I'm considering the mink as well but haven't made up my mind yet.

I like it lots - hit the button!

HarveySpecter · 25/02/2015 20:44

..... and is it long enough to wear over the shoulder comfortably?

I like it, one of my most favourite and versatile bags was grey and very similar to that one. Hit the button!

I don't like all the embellishment. Thought they were press studs at first glance. It's ok otherwise, I like the colour and style

HarveySpecter · 25/02/2015 20:51

...... and I will look like Cindy Crawford, not Cindy Beale?

Gah, I don't mean press studs! The word escapes me

HolgerDanske · 25/02/2015 21:58

I wear it over the shoulder quite comfortably on the shorter strap pictured here. It also has a cross body strap, though.

Must mention my only annoyance with it:

The metalwork at the ends of the two drawstrings clicks together when you walk. It bothered me at first but I liked the bag so I kept it, and now I'm used to it. Oh and one other annoyance is that it's not a full drawstring bag - only the front half of the bag actually gathers, hard to explain. Again, I liked the bag enough to overlook it Smile

My only hesitation with the mink is that I'm not sure the studs work that well. On mine the studs are pewter so blend in a bit more, which I like because I didn't want anything too loud. I'd have to see the mink one in the flesh to be sure.

But you can always return it if it's not quite right Smile

I think the studs are tacky, but then I think studs on anything is tacky.

I almost bought it but when I looked at it in the shop I thought it didn't close very securely. The drawstring pulls the front in but the back stays straight. I still love the look of it.

I like the colour but also think the studs are tacky. And, though I know drawstrings very 'in' at the moment think they might be irritating in everyday use.
