One for summer. Vote yes or no.

| I think it's cute but it also looks like the purse my Grandmother uses. |

| I like it well enough but am a little put off by the proportions. The strap seems too short relative to the rest of it, the side pockets too big, and the front too plain- even with the pleat- for that expanse of unornamented leather. I feel like it can't decide if it's boxy or soft. That's being really picky, of course, but I think a handbag can, at its best, be a symphony of elegant design. |

| I like the color, but the styling seems off. The twists are odd, and what is the pleat in front? I don't like the metal stuff on the side either. The color is spot on though. Keep looking. |

| 10:33 here-- see, I like the pleat and twists and think they're very chic. It's just that the rest of the bag doesn't share their slouchy softness. I can't see the metal charms very well in the photo but think I'd like them, too, if the rest of the bag agreed on a slouchier shape. It's like the manufacturer tried to update a basic pattern by adding a pleat and twisty strap instead of investing in a whole new leather cutting/ sewing paradigm for the current styles. |

| No. Dont like the pleat and the handle will get too dirty. |

| OP here. Thanks for the feedback. Even though I like the bag, it's very interesting and informative to hear your detailed opinions. FWIW, the leather is very soft and flexible, and in real life, it's more slouchy like a hobo bag. |

| This looks like a knockoff of a Prada bag from Jan 2008. I don't like the handle at all, but the bag shape and proportions are nice. The pleat in the soft leather is very on trend, but generally unless you buy a few new bags each season, I don't think this is trend bag, not a will-use-it-forever bag. Yes, I'm a bag snob. |

| As somebody who finally gave in and bought an "electric violet" bag this weekend, I can say that it you really love it, just get it. You are the one who will carry it, not the other posters. I have no idea what I will do with my neon purple bag once jewel tones are out, but if I pack it away long enough, it will have to be in style at some point... PS- Saks just had everything 25% off (hence, my bag), so I would scour the sales. |
