What do you think of this red bag?

HERE

My aim is to have a classic black bag (got one), a nice nude toned bag (work in progress) and a red bag. That way, according to me, every eventuality andseason is covered. Would you like to give your opinion on linked red bag?? Thanks everyone in advance Thanks

Very cute I love it, expensive but if you can afford it go for it

NigellasGuest · 08/03/2019 18:42

Can't afford it yet but will be able to soon, so I'm stalking it in the meantime, which also acts as my "cooling off period" just in case.

It is very nice. That is all!

LucyFox · 08/03/2019 18:48

I am not keen - sorry! The bag itself is nice but I think the massive gold clasp & chunky gold chain make it look cheap
Sorry if that’s not what you wanted to hear

NigellasGuest · 08/03/2019 18:49

The shell detail is nice (I love shells) but shells are very "in" - I hope it won't look outdated in a couple of years. Also the relatively heavy chain.

Very nice, but you'll be in danger of chain link-shaped dents over your shoulder in the summer. I prefer a leather strap, really.

NigellasGuest · 08/03/2019 18:52

Oh, x post.
Don't apologise for not what I wanted to hear, all opinions welcomed! As I said, heavy chains are in at the moment. I don't think it makes it look cheap right now, although in a couple of years who knows. As for the clasp, well it's small bag so that helps make an impact but I hear you!

I wouldn't be wearing this bag in the summer really. That's what my proposed nude bag (see OP) will be for!

Love that Kooples one! I might even buy it but can't figure out the size Grin

SavageBeauty73 · 08/03/2019 19:08

Much prefer the Kooples one.

Didiusfalco · 08/03/2019 19:19

I think the Kooples one is much nicer, far more classic. I really didn’t like the gold chain on the first one, but appreciate that is a matter of preference.

f83mx · 08/03/2019 19:41

I think you’d get more longevity from the second bag , more classic looking

Whynham · 08/03/2019 19:45

It looks like it can only hold enough stuff that would fit in your pockets which seems pointless to me. I'd rather carry it all in my pockets or get a bigger back that could carry more stuff.

NigellasGuest · 08/03/2019 19:55

I only need to carry my keys, a tissue, phone, a lipstick and my debit card so that's not a problem to me at least. Don't like carting a load of baggage around, why would you!
Veering towards the kòoples now

Sorry but the Rixo looks like River Island.

Emilydickensonsdogs · 08/03/2019 20:00

The Rixo one is great for a fashion evening bag but if you are looking to invest I don’t think it’s the right one. Have you looked at Coach and Tory Burch? Their bags are around your price point.

NigellasGuest · 08/03/2019 20:04

I've got a few bags from Coach already but will look at Tory Birch, thank you

I've got a red bag and love love love it.

It's an Osprey one and I dithered for ages worrying if it was too bright/wouldn't go with things. I've used it for a year without swapping bags Grin - I think that's a record for me!!

mrsk28 · 08/03/2019 20:06

Really like the Kooples one, very classic

JellycatElfie · 08/03/2019 20:09

I much prefer the kooples one. There’s also a nice osprey one on the tk maxx website!

ducky21 · 08/03/2019 20:13

agree the kooples one is a lot nicer, also not a fan of the chain on the 1st one, have u had a look on Ebay for a bit of a bargain but something equally nice?

SurgeHopper · 08/03/2019 21:01

Meh. It's too small

NigellasGuest · 08/03/2019 21:06
