does this plaid look weird?

TexasGal · Kenneth Cole

IMO, you don't see enough of the plaid for it to look right. The plaid to leather ratio is off.

kisa · Dooney & Bourke

I meant this, Lynne, hahaha.

I thought you were looking at this bag before, but now I am just too confused.

I agree... I think the plaid looks a little weird too. Its a shame because i really like the shape of the bag, and they probably could have added the plaid in a better way to give that hint of burberry.

I don't think the plaid looks bad, but the bag looks very mature (nice way of saying old )

hahaha! i really think my style is part-grandma. I kinda love frumpy old things, as long as they are more stylish/eccentric lady, less baggy mumu at dress barn.

big plaid + weird tingey beigey color + orthopedic clasp = salvation army find. Not feeling this one, especially at that price - maybe if you showed it in the right outfit.

MissMee · Kate Spade

I think the plaid is fine. It's small enough that it's not in-your-face "I'm a Burberry." I don't like the tan color, though. IMO, I don't think Burberry makes bags look good in that light tan. I like them better in the black or the darker cognac kind of brown. The tan looks cheap for such an expensive bag.

Tashina · Kate Spade

i like it. i don't think there is enough plaid to look wierd. it's a cute bag.

tri_sarah_tops · Marc Jacobs

I kind of like it. I don't think I'd carry it, but if I saw someone with it I wouldn't think it was awful.

exsupahero · Kate Spade

i like it... alot. $700 is way too much though.

NCshopper · Hermes

Eh. I'm not really feeling it. I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. The plaid just doesn't look right to me. I like the clasp and there is something classic about it.

But I think you could do better for $700.

theotherjess · Chanel

I like it. When you first look at it you can't even tell it's the Burberry plaid and then you look closer and you can tell. I like cool details like that.
