lisalisa are you serious?

CountessDracula · 22/01/2007 13:47

much cooler to have a topshop one anyway
it's just naff spending that on a bag

maybe you should try burberry

maisym · 22/01/2007 13:47

none

MerlinsBeard · 22/01/2007 13:47

i would chose 1.

Then i looked at the prices went then thought i would still pick 1 because u can get the same bag as 3 for a fiver

2 not for me

TheBlonde · 22/01/2007 13:48

1 - colour makes it look plasticy, it's okay in black

2 - yuck

3 - nicest imho

tigertiger · 22/01/2007 13:48

if you've got it, spend it!

flutterbee · 22/01/2007 13:49

No 1 in beige is yuk yuk yuk, if you do get it I would go for it in black.

However the one that looks the nicest of all three is no 3.

My best advice would be to keep looking, with the budget I am assuming you have there must be a nicer selection of bags around.

Lorina · 22/01/2007 13:49

Its your money , you spend it on handbags if you want to!

just not on number two.....

LittleSarah · 22/01/2007 13:51

I like the third one best.

fishie · 22/01/2007 13:52

2 is a nice colour though. but isn't ruching rather over?

Sackache · 22/01/2007 13:55

I think they're all minging TBH!!!!

And the prices????? BIZARRE amount of money spend on something that carries yer purse, phone, tampons and (like most parents with very young kids) random bits of plastic toys!

But you wire in if you've got the cash to flaunt.

weepootleflump · 22/01/2007 14:00

I liked 2 the best - didn't like the others at all, especially 3.

Heavenis · 22/01/2007 14:04

I would go for number three 1st.
Number one 2nd
Number three,don't like that one sorry.

VermiciousKnid · 22/01/2007 14:04

thanks all

haven't found anything i love - will keep looking

lisalisa - how rude! i give to charity

and anyway - £1,000 for one person is a handbag, for another is a year's supply of cigarettes...

I'm not fussed on any of them tbh.

CODNoMore · 22/01/2007 14:05

why do you want to know

expatinscotland · 22/01/2007 14:06

i looked at all of them.

and i find them all hideous.

they look like carpet bags that poor homeless people used to carry all their gear in.

no.

PrincessPeaHead · 22/01/2007 14:07

the paddington bag is a bit over I think (no 3). it looks very 2006 to me (don't shoot me for sounding so poncey please )

the jimmy choo is OK, but I don't like the colour and I've never liked jimmy choo bags in the flesh - have you seen it in the flesh?

I don't like the marc jacobs - I don't know if the accessories designer has changed but the shoes this and last season have been AWFUL, embarrassingly awful, and I think the bags are unsuccessful too.

I'm sorry!
If it is any consolation I spent 4 days in NY last october trying to buy a bag - any bag - and failed. that has NEVER happened to me before. I think bags are just crap at the moment. Unless you go for a Tod's bag - there are some nice ones. eg this one, but in the tan colour . the quality and the leather etc are MUCH better than jimmy choo IMO

Heavenis · 22/01/2007 14:08

That should be number two last.

Aloha · 22/01/2007 14:08

Marc Jacobs for me. I like the colour and it's quirky.

CODNoMore · 22/01/2007 14:08

i think i hate women who talk abotu loving shoes n bags and refer to themeslves as"chochoholics"

Aloha · 22/01/2007 14:10

Well, obviously not for me. I have a bag from Kew with biro scribble on it by dd. But of those three, it would be the Marc Jacobs, because I like green handbags for some reason. Really dislike the fleshtone of the Jimmy choo. Find it a bit creepy.

pooka · 22/01/2007 14:10

No 1 is the colour of an elastoplast or silly putty. Bleurgh.
No 3 - notkeen on the shame or the massive thing sticking out of the top.
No 2 - is my favourite, though looking at the responses here I think I'm seriously unfashionable

tigertiger · 22/01/2007 14:11

i agree...get a tod's, or a hogan or a miu miu. more unusual, less likely to see crap copies of them around too. the jc bags are often really 'structured', not 'slouchy' enough iyswim

Aloha · 22/01/2007 14:11

Ha! That Tod's one is very, very similar to a really nice changing bag I got sent last year. It is the same one as Liv Tyler has.
