Is it cute or tacky? What do you think about red pocketbooks in general?

This one is cute. It's a nice red.

NICE bag. This one's cute. I personally wouldn't buy it, but if you can pull it off with confidence, go for it.

Fabulous bag!!

I'm a red person; it's my weakness. blush.gif

I don't know exactly how to describe it, but cute ain't it...
Menachem E
it looks like the bag put on lipstick in the 80's - is that how you wanted to describe it?

- It's shiny.
- It's bright red.
- It has overly large and abundant grommets.
- It has a useless and ornamental "belt"...
- ...that is tied in a bow...
- ...with useless holes for a nonexistent buckle.

In other words, it's ostentatious and ornamental.

What's wrong with ornamental?

It's a nice bag but I'm with the above.

Oh and this is the shade of red I would consider to be "blood red".

Anyone who would wear that bag can't see it as well as I can.

It offends my sensibilities.

I know! You'd think a girl would have more fashion sense... rolleyes.gif To each her own.

And I have a pair of red shoes that would go well with this bag. Pity, really.

no girl can call any ornament/detail "useless" wink3.gif

Personallpy I love it and would buy it in a heartbeat (figuring in budget constraints obviously) but I am the type who changes purses regularly to fit my outfit/mood.

It would look awsome with black or houndstooth black and white!

tacky, and not because of the color.

I tend not to like handbags as large as that one (or as large as it appears to be). I don't know if the color is that tacky, but perhaps it would look nicer in a 
matte finish and/or combined with another more subdued color...

I think it's PERFECT !!!!!I think it's PERFECT !!!!!

i JUST saw this color handbag on someone! but it was bigger and much more plain; this one is much cuter
BroadwayFreak
I like it. I have a medium sized red purse from Target.

Ok I have 7 votes in favor, 4 votes against + 3 neutral comments votes.
notreallyhere
What's your husband's vote, Nechama?
Spot
another no vote. i don't like it - it's too girlie... looks like something i'd give a 3 year old to play dress-up with.

Sorry smile.gif I was even thinking if I should PM that question to you or not. Should I delete it? I was there yesterday and saw it in black.
Nechama
yes I ended up ordering it, but it didn't arrive yet.
You sure it was the same one in black? they didnt have it in black online......

I'm not sure sure, but I'm pretty sure. It was black patent. Would you have wanted it in black? Maybe I can get it for you.
Nechama
because they had a different style that came in red and black too.
I live near 2 targets, so when it arrives if I dont like it in red its good to know maybe I can swap it....

Update for Notreallyhere....
I was in target today and they had the bag. In red. For mega discounted price. So I bought it.
I'm biggrin.gif but annoyed that I also ordered it online for much more money and now need to go through returning it.....
