Billy Bags

32 replies

FloraPosteschild · 08/03/2008 17:11

I'm looking at them because there's a discount from Marie Claire.

I have no money but tempted to go for it becasue it's a discount.

Are they really any good? Or should I stop looking and not bother?

Liking the Emily in red (bit bright maybe) and the Mary velvet one.

Any opinions gladly received

Emily reduced anyway, but with discount is £62 down from £165.

Mary down from 95 to 36.

these travel wallets are great

brimfull · 08/03/2008 17:16

I'm not keen on the Emily one,Mary is ok..ish

florenceuk · 08/03/2008 19:56

I like this but the purple and black are sold out - what do people think of the red?
patent handbag

florenceuk · 08/03/2008 20:01

ooh sorry I didn't notice Flora you'd already earmarked emily - well I like it!

FloraPosteschild · 08/03/2008 20:02

Look on ebags, they have more pics, the linng is nice!!

I think it might be a bit bright though. Hard to tell. Pinky tone is nice but it looks brash on the other site.

You can;t get a refund on sale stuff and I am poor so have talked myself out of it!

florenceuk · 08/03/2008 20:11

yes the colour does look different on ebags - mebbe haunt a TK Maxx and see if it turns up as it looks like it is on sale pretty much everywhere?

hoxtonchick · 08/03/2008 21:06

i like the patent aspect

Aitch · 08/03/2008 21:11

are they still around as a Proper Brand? i thought they were ov-ah. i have a few from teh old days, quality is good imo. like the others have said, they're selling old stock through tk maxx, although they're not great colours etc.

hoxtonchick · 08/03/2008 21:19

loads on ebay

hoxtonchick · 08/03/2008 21:20

"a few" aitch - are you a bag addict like me?!

Aitch · 08/03/2008 21:36

not really... i do like bags but i have a tendency to use them to the point of destruction, iykwim? the bag i use most is one i got in france four years ago, it's cost a fortune but is getting better and better the more wrecked it gets. the billys i think i ought one and got the other two as press freebs. oh those were the days, my hoxton friend...

Aitch · 08/03/2008 21:37

actually. i am looking for a wallet. i might start a thread.

BoysOnToast · 08/03/2008 21:41

i have a small bag addiction, but i cant bear to spend over say, 60 quid unless i reeeeeeeally love it. so i have a vast collection of cheap bags duuuuhhh.

im not into the patenbt thing. will look dated and trashy in no time.

hoxtonchick · 08/03/2008 21:46

i have a vast(ish) collection of expensive bags. am of your freebies aitch.

Aitch · 08/03/2008 21:49

and i have a small collection of expensive ones. it was a lot of fun, hoxton.
now, wallets. i'm wondering about orla kiely or similarly bright.

hoxtonchick · 08/03/2008 21:51

ok, wallets.

i think orla kiely are quite over-priced, especially as a lot of them aren't leather. do you want patterned, or plain & bright? i have a lovely red mandarina duck one from a couple of years ago. and osprey do nice ones.

BoysOnToast · 08/03/2008 21:52

anything but that horrid nasty bland 'i spend money y'know' little scotty dog crap with all the pastel colours. whassit called?

i dont like that stuff.

hoxtonchick · 08/03/2008 21:57

radley......
