We use bags too often to keep a meh bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-opinion-on-this-bag-yay-or-nay#post-464206 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:53:52 +0000 Sveta 464206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I don't mind intended slouch in the bag but this one looks like it was an oversight rather than design.<br /> Anna, no wonder I like this style!<br /> Una, I think if they had a sturdy piece of metal or plastic run through the lid to hold the shape thta would solve this problem. Alas, this is just a soft leather without structure...<br /> It goes back: you are right, if it bothers me now it will drive me nuts every time I use it. I will keep my eyes open for other bags in this style and hopefully of better design.<br /> Thanks for your help! Isn't it great to have so many girlfriends you can ask advice from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-opinion-on-this-bag-yay-or-nay#post-464204 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:52:11 +0000 MNsara 464204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's supposed to be a good sign when the leather is sort and pliable. Not that you want a pool of leather for a satchel, but unless there's some softness, it won't mould nicely around your hips when carried crossbody. </p> <p>The super structured satchels can look like wearing a lunchbox on your hip :-(</p> <p>I think it's smashing and fine, but the if the lack of holding its shape bothers you, then like Angie said, maybe you're in the market for something *more* structured?</p> <p>P.S. I get more bothered by bags that loose their shape when actually carried - like their bottoms sag instead of staying flat </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-opinion-on-this-bag-yay-or-nay#post-464195 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:43:42 +0000 catgirl 464195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the bag, but I think the handle will pull like that unless it's attached to the sides at the top, rather than in the middle. It's one of my pet peeves, because I love bowling and doctor bags styles, but they need to be more structured to keep that shape. </p> <p>It is a beautiful bag, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-opinion-on-this-bag-yay-or-nay#post-464173 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:24:11 +0000 Suz 464173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the bag, Sveta, but that would drive me bonkers, too. I would want it to hold its shape. Such a shame! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-opinion-on-this-bag-yay-or-nay#post-464085 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:02:00 +0000 annagybe 464085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't know if it will sway you but it's a knock-off of the Mulberry Alexa.</p> <p><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/94465" rel="nofollow">http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/94465</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-opinion-on-this-bag-yay-or-nay#post-464078 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 16:55:02 +0000 Mo 464078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the hardware and over all look!

Looks like I was right that it should go back. I think I will check other bags in this style in the store in case it was just this bag issue and it does not exist in pthers.<br /> Thanks for helping me to make up my mind! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-opinion-on-this-bag-yay-or-nay#post-463955 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:21:21 +0000 missvee 463955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would return it - something that bugs you from the start will just distract from your enjoyment of using it. It's no bargain unless you love it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-opinion-on-this-bag-yay-or-nay#post-463931 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:11:51 +0000 JennyAnne 463931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a cool bag, but that would drive me nuts. Maybe when it's broken in a bit, it will sag more evenly. It's a gamble, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-opinion-on-this-bag-yay-or-nay#post-463929 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:08:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 463929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a purse fanatic Sveta and I know that little thing would drive me nuts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-opinion-on-this-bag-yay-or-nay#post-463925 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:04:09 +0000 modgrl 463925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a cool bag, but it seems like you need to keep it full for it to keep it's shape. Can you stick a small hardcover book into it to keep the shape? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-opinion-on-this-bag-yay-or-nay#post-463917 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 13:48:48 +0000 Sveta 463917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Nancy. It was the spur of the moment to buy this bag after all so I decided to look at it at home as the store was closing and it was the last day of 25% off sale... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-opinion-on-this-bag-yay-or-nay#post-463912 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 13:23:02 +0000 nancylee 463912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's a sign of poor quality that it sags like that, Sveta, but if it bothers you then it probably isn't a "10" in your book. Since I love bags, I've learned to remove all the stuffing right there in the store and fill the bag with my actual purse contents just to see how it will "really" look when I carry it around. Prevents surprises like this at home later.....</p> <p>I don't think the bag looks that bad in #3...but if you're really bothered by it then you might want to return it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-an-opinion-on-this-bag-yay-or-nay#post-463904 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:29:36 +0000 Sveta 463904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As you know I have been looking for a new bag in neutral color for a while. I have bought this bag last Saturday. I liked the shape and hardware and I don't have a black bag yet.<br /> It has two handles and a long strap so I can wear it both as a satchel and a cross body and even a shoulder bag. I think the size is right for me too.<br /> However when I got home, pulled all stuffing out of it and began to take pictures I noticed one thing which bothers me. See pic 3 - how the top of the bag gets distorted when you hold it? Is it normal for bags of this style to behave like this or is it a poor design and I better off returning it. It was not cheap - I got it on sale for $96 down from $223 - so I will keep it only it is a "10".<br /> Please vote - keep or return! </p>
