I like the way the material looks, but the shape is, well, shapeless. I like more structure in designer bags.

i know what you mean! but for some reason i'm strangely attracted to the slouchiness!

I like them very much. However I think they look goofishly large on a lot of women, a little hard to pull off. I also don't like that Jessica Simpson has one, that kind of kills it for me. Still outrageously chic though, in my opinion.

I think it looks great! I too am attracted to the slouchiness. Have you seen the bag in person? Does it have a zipper and what does the leather feel like? It's just better to be sure before you purchase it for that amount

I'd go for the black/bronze

 

[purechris]

I really like it in bronze. I think the shape is very chic/boho and can see it being a very wearable item.

the garined leather and python-skin shoulder bags are great. i saw jessica simpson carrying one today on TV, btw.

WOW!
i am really in love with the giant-sized one... wow...
i'd love to have one in either black leather or python!

It's okay, but the snakeskin is little tacky looking.

i don't think so at all... but, to each their own

totally agree on the size and the jessica simpson factor! i was hoping if i got a drastically different color than the one she carries it wouldn't have the same effect. i got the medium sized but it didn't have the lovely slouch that the larger one has. but i don't want to get the large and look like i'm carrying a body bag either!

yes i bought the medium but i sent it back. no zipper...it has an inner hidden magnetic closure in the center. the skin wasn't exactly what i expected...the scales were very raised. it was definitely unique and pretty. apparently the bronze and silver ones are treated differently with a smoother texture. i just really want a bag that everyone in the world doesn't have, with no rampant knockoffs

i'm leaning toward the black/bronze too

I saw that and really liked the bags too. It's very different indeed. I am not much of a structure person so the shape works well for me

snake is my favorite skin...

i python...and i love these bags...the price really kills it for me though...and i think it would actually be annoying to have a big bag with no structure where you can't find anything...

but it sure LOOKS good!!!...

i've seen them in person...there are two sizes of you think the big one overwhelming...

 

[souperbait00]

the clutchs are pretty

and i'm not even a fan of snake but the classic in medium brown gold is great.

 

[softgrey]

just to add...i really dislike all the other styles of bags they offer...may be a one hit wonder...

 

[Foxie-Pooh]

It's shape is similar to Bottega Veneta's bag, no?

 

[prettyinpink24]

it's a little too slouchy for my taste, but i would definitely go with the bronze one
