Looks like grandma has been shopping at the Craft Barn again and has decided to hand make birthday presents this year because it’s “more personal” than store-bought gifts.

Glad to see, that most of your comments agree with me. Why? Because I know a little about handbags since I am importing them from Italy and I like to discover new designs ….

I know that it looks like someone went to town on the bag with a bedazzler but i like it. it is a fun bag and probably is nice in the sun

Incidentally, it says on NAP that the designer colour is ‘chair’; I wonder if that’s correct?

Or could it actually be ‘Chere’, seeing as Sonia is French?

I’m with you, Amanda, in that I don’t think it’s all bad, at all.

In fact, I think the leather and the colour of the leather are really nice (I like blush pinks and pinkish-nudes, a lot).

I also think that the embellishment could actually be quite nice on a clutch, or on a casual, plain, slouchy, long-strapped hobo; but I agree that it doesn’t work so well on a bag of this shape.

I’m not completely convinced by the combination of the slightly olive-y coloured stones, with the pinkish-beige colour of the leather, either; but that could be, at least partly, due to NAP’s notoriously dingy pics!

Having said that, I also agree that it would be a pretty boring bag without any embellishment, at all, so I think it needs something; just not quite this.

Perhaps a few vintage-look crystals and/or grey and/or richer brown stones would look better? Or some sort of print?

I also think a bit of off-black, would toughen it up a bit

Not feeling this one either…looks like it’s been bejeweled or something (you’re completely right Hazel!). Plus the price is too outrageous for me!

I’m all for the soft leather but I AGREE the crystals/studs look too tacky!!!! Boo!

It would be boring without the stuff on the front.
