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

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

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.

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".

we did figure out your gender already, no need for more proof
the bag
is cute, but do you also have red shoes to match?

I know! You'd think a girl would have more fashion sense...

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

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!

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'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
Jan 28 2008, 02:57 PM
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
