L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani Handbags

[Luna]

To be honest, there is NOTHING innovative about these bags. The entire concept is thrown together just like the print.. Love angel music baby.. Four words said to appear frequently in no doubt songs.. Yet the bags are simple and if anything, boring silhouettes.. with just a graphic print. Nylon.. no leather... slap on a spiffy lamb keychain and bam.. you've got a boring overpriced nylon bag.

Just my opinion

 

[agirlcalledk1ll]

the trench was supposed to be part of her clothing line ... but i haven't heard much about it ..... it might show up (or something like it) a little later.......




+ yeah, the prices did go up some ... oh well.

my 'world tour messenger' should be arriving on wed. not sure why i opted for the huge one... but i was afraid the smaller on would be too small.... for what, i'm not sure...but.... i dunno.

the other prints will be available at the end of the month/early june ... + the red is listed on the site, but it's not available till june (as it says on the site)


anyways....i'm not so sure anyone really said that the bags are super special ...... (did i miss that? i don't know, i haven't read this thread through in a while!) .. no one really said gwen was the next coco or yves..........she's doing something she's done for more than 1/2 her life already, and making some money while she's at it. if being a singer gives her less credibility at making some fun bags and clothing (we're not talking like high-end designer stuff, here...it's nylon handbags, graphic tee-shirts, some pants, and jackets), then oh well, at least she's making her money...


haha it's all good, though. people will like them, people will hate them, and some people will be neutral about them .... like everything in the world....if everyone loved the bags, that'd suck, cos they'd be instantly sold out .... + i couldn't get mine.

Love angel music baby.. Four words said to appear frequently in no doubt songs..

..... the words actually came from the lesportsac creative team + gwen ... they aren't from ND songs (i'm not sure angel is in ANY nd song..) ... she used to call her dog + her fans "lamb/lambs" .. it was a term of endearment ..... when gwen did the bags, they decided it would stand for love angel music baby, instead of just being LAMB + not have anything to explain it... kinda lame + surely not innovative at all ..... haha. oh well.

 

[brian]

no matter what is said, i still like the bags

i'm either going to get the 'world tour messenger' or the 'streetwise messenger' (the smaller version of the world tour) ...i'm not too sure which one to get though!

i just don't want something too unpractically big. i'll probably opt for the 'smaller' one.

yeah. that was my problem .. i went back + forth for like an hour trying to decide.....in the end, i got the bigger one, ONLY cos i'm always complaining about how i never have enough room .... + i'm going back to school soon, + i gotta have a big bag to carry all my photo supplies around in, since i commute .. the bigger one just seemed more practical for what i'm gonna use it for ... who knows, i might get it + hate the size....i'll return it, in that case...

haha, decisions, decisions...

and in my opinion lovely, bags.

everybody has their opinion...

and like i said this is the new era of band merchandising, gwennie is keeping her name and the no doubt name along with her in the public mind set, just like she always has done with her appearance at award shows, dressing up, stayin in the public eye... she kept no doubt alive, during their down turn, she is also making some cashola, n i did say i appreciated she is a bit different from the regular celeb designers, but imo ... not that different...

the bags r run of the mill, nothing too special that one could expect from her creativeness with her own image... if u see wat i mean... but like i said, she is a singer, wat can u expect, she aint no cristobal, jacques, christian, coco or yves is she... and she never will b [/b][/quote]
Well obviously she can't be a Coco or Yves if she's working with Lesportsac. If she had teamed up with a different company I think she would have had more options. All those Lesportsac bags are the same damn fabric and the same cuts.

Out of all of the bags in that price range, hers are my favorite. The others are pretty ugly or blatant ripoffs of other higher end designers. In comparison, Gwen's are a lot more original.

 

[pradaromance]

i like the multicolor one...really cute print, i might order one

 

[brian]

 

[~*BabyPhat Princess*~]

I think they are so.. cute

 

[brian]

okay it's been a few months and i'm going to get my lamb bag soon... i've decided on the girlfriend bag and the streetwise messenger (i wanted the wallet too but it's sold out!!), in the "icon teak" print... which has become my absolute favorite out of all of them.

i remember hearing something about MACY'S selling lamb bags?! can any of you clarify this for me? i'm thinking about heading down there tonight to check them out if it's true...

macys and lord + taylor sell them for sure......the selection of prints + styles vary ... obviously...but it's usually not the whole line....

but i have yet to see the messenger in a store. (i've only seen the world tour messenger in person, which i bought + was too big + bulky, i'm sure i said that already on this thread though! haha)

i'm OBSESSED with the 'icon teak' print..i bought the tattoo tote + the lrg hell hobo in the print (i also have a small hella hobo in my house, in the icon teak, but it's for a friend in montreal...) ..

i've seen the the other prints in person + they didn't wow me. the teak did, totally.....

20% off lesportsac bags if you buy online + enter the code 'teenvogue', if you're gonna buy online.....i assume it means the l.a.m.b bags, too, but i haven't tried it out......i might later on, my mom wants something in the penmanship print. hehe

 

[brian]

omg! thank you soso much veronica!

 

[misst3quila]

Yeah their cute and all but coming from Gwen i would have expected more..i guess shes playing the safe card.....::rolls eyes::....

 

[~*BabyPhat Princess*~]

I think the bags are really cute

Actually there is leather on the bottom. I have a LAMB bag from the first line and I've bought other designer bags since but I still swear by my LAMB bag.

My only complaint is with the new straps and buckles instead of rings. I like the first line much better

 

[agirlcalledk1ll]

brian, no problem! happy to help where i can!


+ the leather on the bottom is only on the first season....unfortunately

yeah i'm kind of sad about the leather on the bottom only being on the bags from the first season.... but the current season's bags do have a bit of leather trim...

anyhow, i meant to ask: could you please tell me a bit more about how to get the 20% off with the code "teenvogue" as you mentioned before?? ...i tried to check out @ lesportsac.com, and i did not see a place to enter a code of any sort anywhere...

thanks in advance

 

[prixi]

The bags may not be the most original thing, but they're cute, and they fare well when you compare them to the other celebrity lines.

 

[agirlcalledk1ll]

brian, after i posted here about the code, someone THEN mentioned it's good august 10th - the 31st, so possibly there will be a space for a code tomorrow?

if not, i'm sure i can figure it out! haha, cos discounts are always better than paying full price! i'm a sucker for discounts, if i see something discounted + kinda wanted it, i'll buy it, even if i can't really justify it (so long as it's not like super expensive! hah i do have limits..)...hell, i bought Dior shoes for me + Manolos for my sister the other day because i opened a saks account + i got 10% off my first day's purchases!! oops.

 

[brian]

haha, thanks once again veronica...
we'll see what happens tomorrow....

 

[Alejandro]

Brian I really love that print I actually love that bag
