Classic and a bit boring / safe.

Britpopbaby · 05/09/2023 18:56

Classic

MinnieMouse0 · 05/09/2023 18:57

Classic, pretty practical

Yeah I'm thinking about buying it since I don't have many so I need something easy to wear while I build a collection

Is the price good?

I think it's quite nice. Not amazing. But if someone gave me one, I'd be happy with it.

HundredMilesAnHour · 05/09/2023 19:00

Nope. I'm not sure I'd use it even if you gave me £139. You can do better than this.

PurpleMonkeys · 05/09/2023 19:02

I like it but it's definitely more:

Classic / Safe / Typical

than

Edgy / Luxury / Unique

CharlotteSometimes1 · 05/09/2023 19:03

Safe

I like the shape and the colour, but there’s something about it that’s dull.

Ireolu · 05/09/2023 20:14

Boring.
Meh

mdinbc · 05/09/2023 21:51

I like it. It's hard to tell from the photo if it is black or a dark brown. it's a classic that won't go out of style. Can you send the link, or tell us the brand? It's hard to say whether it's a good price without that info.

Solonomi · 05/09/2023 22:13

I like it! Looks like the Gucci Jackie bag

AtrociousCircumstance · 05/09/2023 22:15

I think it’s gorgeous, but a bit small.

Purpleavocado · 05/09/2023 22:15

It's very formal looking, I don't like it how they hav it modelled with a casual outfit

Shinyandnew1 · 05/09/2023 22:17

It’s a bit boring for that price. I’d tend to go for a cross body one-that looks more like a king shoulder bag?

happyshineyperson · 05/09/2023 22:21

It’s from Radley, you can see the logo in the picture.

Thanks, I ordered it

I think it is something I can dress up or down and hopefully will last

I think its lovely

CapEBarra · 05/09/2023 23:07

Nice bag but don’t like the gold writing (I’m not a logo fan)

SpamFrittersYouSay · 05/09/2023 23:20

I wouldn't think 'ooh, nice bag,' if you walked passed me with it.

I'm also not a fan, either, of names or logos .

EyesEars · 05/09/2023 23:26

If you don't like it when it arrives there are lots of Radley bags brand new on Vinted for about £30. Didn't see that style.

AlexaCanYouHearMe · 05/09/2023 23:32

Overpriced. Not worth the money.

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 06/09/2023 06:21

Not a fan of the gold logo, cloche, shiny leather and hardware. Like the classic shape though.

OhYetAnotherBrickInTheWall · 06/09/2023 06:24

Too hard
Too shiney
Too mock croc
Too dull

Hard pass from me.
