do you like this purse
Permalink Closed

Etro, on sale for $425.


It seems more "me" than getting the Botkier Bianca (which mind you, I freakin' adore especially after seeing it IRL earlier this week). I like the quirkier colors and the less "celebrity-worn" feeling of this purse. I also like the structured nature. What do you ladies think?

Linen Canvas Large Satchel


For reference, miss Botkier Bianca


Bianca Medium - Black

it's ok.......but IMO MInca has more staying power, and frankly Miss Bianca is just a natural beauty!

I think it's beautiful.  I love the color combination.  It's very unique and you're certainly not going to see other girls carrying it that often.  I love it.  Get it!  Get it!

Ooh, sorry lilykind. I am not a fan of that first bag. It looks old-ladyish to me (but that's JMO). I'm sure you could make it work with your fabulous quirky style though, if you love it.

I like the botkier, but I think the other bag is more you.  I think for the money, you can find a beautiful, unique, bag on sale at bluefly or eluxury IMO. but you've got to go for what you love, and if you love the botkier, by all means get it - regardless of celebrity tainting

I prefer the Botkier and personally i'd have trouble paying $$$ for a canvas linen bag.

I personally think it looks old-ladyish.

Yep - couldn't agree more.  Get the Bianca - I love it and it's much more worth of the $$

I took the liberty of peeking at elux, and saw this mj bag for $699 (you said up to $700) - it's gorgeous, you most likely won't see it on celeb arms, and the color is seasonless IMO

I think that the first bag may be more you, but I think that it lacks staying power and it is a canvas bag... JMO.  If you don't love the Botkier, there are many other gorgeous bags that you would adore for a similar price (like D) posted.

I agree, that Etro is definitely more you - love it, love it.  The Bianco is so practical and you already have practical bags.

so i should let y'all know the real reason i think i'm in love.


ETROINTERIOR.jpg


the organization possibilities are unbelievable. I may still try to get the Bianca (a few months later), but only at a sample sale for $300 or less. I have serious trouble plunking $600 on anything.


I think I'm going to get this Etro tonight.

ETA: I do like the MJ but I won't buy his purses on principle. I am still getting over the MJ glut of 2002/2003 and pretty much the fact that everyone and their fourth cousin says "Marc Jacobs is my favorite designer"

Great choice!

I love the combination of colours - so unique and the plum colored inside really finish off the bag. You'll rock it!
