Is this really really hideous of a bit of fun?

I need a bag for a party, I thought this might liven up a beautiful halterneck but plain navy dress? I've got subtle jewellery in similar colours, silver sandals. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vintage-Peacock-Antique-Turquoise-Catching/dp/B07GYDLFV3/ref=sxin_21_pa_sp_phone_search_thematic_sspa?content-id=amzn1.sym.48fa09c6-2a58-4933-8db1-343a9239c229%3Aamzn1.sym.48fa09c6-2a58-4933-8db1-343a9239c229&crid=2XQEOTPF8QLFR&cv_ct_cx=sparkly+clutch+bags&keywords=sparkly+clutch+bags&pd_rd_i=B07GYDLFV3&pd_rd_r=87c7f955-7c22-4349-bc8e-b4c0553e8fd1&pd_rd_w=hKzuR&pd_rd_wg=DKhKt&pf_rd_p=48fa09c6-2a58-4933-8db1-343a9239c229&pf_rd_r=M84FR4K8P63YGDM8965X&qid=1692813829&sprefix=sparkly+clutch%2Caps%2C113&sr=1-2-3151814a-ab8a-4f93-b60d-ebb02494d88d-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfdGhlbWF0aWM&psc=1

Love it!

Doggymummar · 23/08/2023 20:32

Beautiful

notawittyname1954 · 23/08/2023 20:35

Lovely.

DisforDarkChocolate · 23/08/2023 20:41

I like the bag part a lot but not the metal parts.

NannyGythaOgg · 23/08/2023 20:43

I love it.

As an aside, for those that don't know, Amazon now have a little icon to the top right of the picture, click and you can select a link for the object/item/purchase whatever. Gives a reasonable length url rather than their usual ones that are about 10 lines long

I've actually got this very same bag. Bought it from Amazon a few years ago. It's very well made and really gorgeous. I've had lots of compliments when I've been out with it.

Concernedfriend2023 · 23/08/2023 20:53

It's a yes from me, I think it's fab.

Doublebubblegum · 23/08/2023 20:59

I think I'm the lone voice here so I'm not sure it matters what I think but in my opinion ita hideous, sorry. It's a bit twee and not something I'd choose, the metal bit is a weird detail. However if you like it, go for it!

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 23/08/2023 21:00

I like it!

Avatartar · 23/08/2023 21:03

Like it, but check the sequins don’t snag your outfit

Girlwithapple · 23/08/2023 21:49

I like it 😊

TonightMatthewIamgoingtobecher · 23/08/2023 21:54

I like it, kind of art nouveau/deco but aren't peacock feathers bad luck? Not sure.if that goes for design!

Winky1973 · 23/08/2023 22:11

Love it! Very Carrie Bradshaw 😍

Escapetofrance · 23/08/2023 22:11

Love it!

NatashaDancing · 23/08/2023 22:26

I have a Butler and Wilson bag which is similar. It might be at least 20 years old. It used to get a lot of use, but haven't used it much recently.

Don't overstuff it. The metal and the fabric separated in the middle of one side. I managed to force it back but I need to be careful how much I put in it.

Nice

cocksstrideintheevening · 23/08/2023 23:06

Love it. What are you doubting?

dudsville · 23/08/2023 23:09

Fun 👍

Eucalyptus22 · 23/08/2023 23:15

I'm really surprised by all the positive comments on this, I think it looks really dated and old fashioned?? Genuinely shocked everybody loves it so much. Go for it.

@NatashaDancing that Butler and Wilson bag is 1,000,000 miles away from the one shown on Amazon.

Yes that is what I was brought up with.

VerityUnreasonble · 24/08/2023 00:06

I own that bag! Bought it years ago to wear with a 40s style dress for a ball (and the matching hair clips too!).

Therefore it's a yes from me.
