I pay much more attention to the bags I like, while trying to avoid writing about bags I dislike. It’s only logical, because it’s always easier to share your fascination with something than negative feelings. Now the time has come to share some displeasure with you.

First of all, this is not a design that will get much response. It’s not even ugly. Ugly bags do get response, they are talked about, sometimes even more than the nice ones are. This bag can be happy if anyone keeps their eyes on it for more but a moment, I mean, it has nothing to it that’s even remotely attractive, nothing you can remember it for - either good or bad. The thing that is bothering me even more is that I would never say it’s a D&G design if it wasn’t for the name tag. It’s too Chloe-esque… Am I crazy? Am I missing something? No, I am not crazy, it simply doesn’t look like a D&G…

Maybe I wouldn’t have been so disappointed if the shape and the details didn’t remind me of the well known Chloe Saskia and Bay bags. Take a closer look and tell me if I’m wrong. It does have something in common with D&G Miss Silky we’ve covered here, but nothing can make this bag work for me. It’s just not right…

I loved it on the MJ Airliner Leather Bag and I love it here. The flap zip closed top clasped with the buckle once it’s folded - perfect. It is both simple and catchy at the same time. The combination of beautiful pebbled leather and gold toned hardware always pushes the right buttons in me if it’s done with sense of dose, which is the case here. Actually, I have nothing special to say about this bag. You might ask “what’s all the fuss about” but that’s just it. Sometimes the simplier a bag is, the more beautiful it turns out to be. And with all the designers, including Marc Jacobs himself, being so competitive and trying to come up with something “no one has ever seen before” which is almost impossible, a simple but beautiful handbag is always welcome. There’s no debate over the leather, necessary or unnecessary details, question of wearability or how long will the sytle be able to last…
It’s just plain nice and that’s it!

I’ve had a discussion about ostrich bags with my mother (who is just as much of a bagddict as I am) just yesterday and that was what made me write about this bag today. The conversation took off after my mom mentioned the Victoria Beckhams purple ostrich Birkin bag she’s been seen toting around, and no matter how big of an exotic and Hermes fan my mom is, she says she finds that bag repulsive. I can’t agree. I absolutely love the bag and I love the ostrich leather.

This Gucci beauty is everything but ordinary. The material, the bag itself and of course the price tag… Do we really need to comment on those? The shape and the size of the bag are nothing new. If you don’t like it because of that I can totally understand you, but if you like the style and the fact it’s an exotic ostrich, there’s no doubt you’re already drooling over it .

I must say that Pop Bamboo is a very nice bag which has left it’s mark from the very first time it was released. At this price however, many of you would probably turn to Hermes or Bottega rather than Gucci. This bag hasn’t got that “it factor” that will put the roof on fire wherever you show up with it, and that’s it’s biggest problem in my opinion. An exotic handbag as expensive as this one is has to justify its price, it has to be on top of the game and everything, really everything about it has to be more than extraordinary. With this one you will be recognized as an insider and all, but still it won’t make a true impact.

All in all, in it’s essence, I do like it… But still, this time, the grass IS greener on the other side…

You definitely won’t be hearing me say “enough with the LV monogram already”. No matter how many monogram bags I’ve got, or how many of them I see on a daily basis, I will never get fed up by it. I fell in love with it a long time ago and there is nothing that could change this. It’s a love or hate thing when it comes to Louis Vuitton and the monogram, there is no middle ground. If you love it, everything boils down to whether you like the shape, the color or some other feature of the latest monogram piece. If you can’t stand it, there is no chance in hell you’d buy it no matter how nice the shape is or how beautiful it would look if it didn’t have the logo all over it. I respect everyone’s personal preferences and tastes. If you don’t like it you don’t like it, I don’t have to hear about it every day. I love it, and I’m perfectly happy whenever I see a new beauty with those two letters all over it. Call me a snob, call me whatever you want, but I love LV.

The shape and the shape only. Admit it, the shape is totally disarming. It can carry almost any detail imaginable, it’s absolutely and genuinely beautiful. I also have to single out is the shoulder strap which is very well proportioned and in perfect harmony with the size and the shape of the bag. The key details of this line are the leather pipings and a golden logo plate on front. Open top, closed with a magnetic snap closure, reveals fine microfiber lined interior with a snap and a cell phone pocket. Even if you can’t stand the monogram, you have to admit this one is absolutely delicious. Can anyone not like it? Feel free to leave a comment if you don’t.
