hmm...i like the bag....and i like the idea of a patent bag...but i don't think I could make that one my every day bag for spring. There's something not right about it...but i can't put my finger on it...

IMO its kind of dark for spring. If it was a brighter color, I'd say go for it.
I laos an't get past that the strap looks liek those paper chains we used to make in elementary school.

I agree, I think the strap looks weird and awkward. I also think the color and texture is a little intense for a bag of that size. JMO.

I like patent bags and I don't mind the size on this one, but I can't get past the paper-chain straps and the color isn't really appealing to me. Sorry. :sad:

I do not like it, Sam-I-Am.

It looks overdone because of the bright colour and hard to manage due to the strap. I am apparently very silly, because I can't figure out for this moment whether patent leather is dead or alive vis-a-vis its fashion longevity.

But personally, I'd keep looking. I'm sure you'll find something better!

Sorry Lilykind, I didn't see your comment above mine when I posted.. I think it came up while I was writing my reply. I didn't mean to take a shot at you about patent leather. I've heard a couple of people on this forum say they think its going out, so I am trying to sniff the fashion air like a bloodhound on this one. I haven't reached a conclusion.

The color is very fall/winter. Also, I instantly thought paper chain when I saw the handle, it's a little weird.

Kitty · Hermes

I like it!

brazilian · Dooney & Bourke

I'm not fond of the chain either, and the color (for me) is a bit too dark for a summer bag.

I'm looking at the Botkier Bianca in grey patent for a spring bag. It looks light enough, but I'm not sure if you prefer larger bags.

Claudia · Gucci

I'm not too crazy about it.

sydney · Kate Spade

I like the idea of patent for spring and I think patent can make a fun choice for an everyday bag. I just don't love that one.

Marg · Kenneth Cole

I like the patent but am on the fence about the chain like handle. My favorite spring bag is a coated vinyl Kate Spade bag that is the dark brown/cream zebra stripe. I've had it for 2 years and I still love the neutral-ness of the brown.

brazilian · Dooney & Bourke

Bump for you...I was just looking at the bag description and noticed the chain link is removable. I would definately wear it without the chain. I prefer the red patent color they have, but I'm not sure if that is out of your budget.

Suasoria · Chanel

Like the color, like the patent, don't like the bag itself. Patent is usually a spring material anyway.

The brown is of course dark, but I don't have a problem with that in and of itself. I wear black year-round, so I won't throw stones.

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

Is it just my computer or is this bag olive green? I don't like the olive/patent combo. To me, it looks like a glorified army fatigue bag bc of the color and links.

I would wait to find something you just LOVE
