The Material Boy #359




Lanvin Large Denim Shopper With Flower Detail

I love this bag, since I first saw it in Club 21's Bangkok store in Siam Paragon Shopping Mall. I love it that the bag is made from a sturdy denim material. I love it that the colour is not conventional blue, but a greyish blue hue. I love it that the handles are interwoven grosgrain ribbon on brass chain. I love it that it is huge. I love it that it is a good size shopper tote that is easy to 'trash' around. I love it that it could be my substitute to my beloved and soon to be departed Prada Canvas Tote. I need a heir to my Prada bag. This could be it... except for the grosgrain ribbon flower detail that somewhat makes me feel uncomfortable using it. Can a guy work it?!?! (Maybe snip away the flower detail? Such a pity!)

Size is perfect for guys. Width 40cm Height from top of handles 59cm Depth 19cm . What do you guys think?

Well, It started wit "Can a guy wear pink?", and then "Can a guy wear sandals?" and "Can a guy use a clutch?". It havn't seeamed to boutherd you before, so why not? Someove needs to be the pushers, and If you like it the you shuda put a ring on it.. eh...I mean hand!.. :P
In the other hand I'm not sure if I really think the flower-thing is nice.. Probably removeable!

I think it will looks nice on you.
I got to agree with M, since you have already been use clutch, why not this bag =D
I think the ribbon and flower is nice.
Just my opinion.

thanks Karin, M and Anony...i think I decided against the bag. It's nice...but the flower bugs me:-P

Unless I see the real thing again and can figure out the flower can be detached...then I probably will have a better shopping judgement:-)

Nice to hear all your constructive opinions:-)

If you think you can rock it then why not? I myself am a guy and i sometimes carry around the see by chloe floral canvas tote to office and around town. the flower is probably removable anyway.
