bags bags bags

A friend recommended to me this online store with considerably cheap bags and I'm having a hard time choosing my fav one. I'm not even sure if I'll buy any of them in the end but I wanna know your opinions just in case. Little help, please? :)

1. The most "normal" one:

2. The cute retro one:

3. The crazy cat lady one:

4. The adorable one:

The first three bags are similar size around 28x20 cm (11x8 inches) and the last one is bigger around 30x30 cm (12x12 inches).

Re: bags bags bags

Lol Rhea, your descriptions of them are awesome :P

What's the name of the website btw? I'm having a very hard time finding good prices :(

Lemme see....The normal one would be the one most useful. The others might not suit some outfits, I think. Following that would be .... the Cats one believe it or not. The retro one will need a specific style in fashion and might be limiting and so will the adorable one.

The store is sammydress.com. They sell all kinds of stuff but my friend has only bought bags from them so far. They were of a pretty good quality considering the prices. The only problem with this store that my friend had was the delivery time, it once took over a month to get the package to her.

I'm not worried about the style that much, my closet is full of cute, romantic, flowery clothes in pastel colors. But I must say that after staring at the bags for several hours (I was taking breaks, really!) I'm leaning towards the cat one. We will see how I will feel about it tomorrow :P

Re: bags bags bags

I heard about this store, but they say the quality isn't as good. When you get your package please do a new post review with the store. I would really love to purchase somethings but i am afraid they wont be good material or heavy . thanks ! :)

I heard bad things about clothes there but the bags seem to be okay. I saw two of the bags that my friend bought there and I think they look nice, they're not perfect and super-good quality, but they're okay considering the prices. At least they are a little bit more unique than the things I see at my local stores (I went shopping yesterday and saw thousands of bags and not a single one I liked!). I actually saw the last bag, the one with the pony, when I was at a con once, a cute classic lolita had it and it looked really nice.

If or when I decide to try the store I will definitely let you know how it goes :)

Re: bags bags bags

As a cat person, I have to recommend the cat bag.    I also really like the bow on the retro bag and the uniqueness of the horse bag.  So, my recommendations (in order), would be: 3-2-4-1.

However, if you're looking for something more simple, then I'd start with #1 and go down in the order you posted.

Re: bags bags bags

In the end I decided to purchase the kitty bag (#3) and I'm so pleased with it!

It's really lovely and I've already got so many compliments on it (even from a stranger once). The quality is surpirisingly good, the outer fabric is thick and sturdy and I didn't notice any loose threads. The colours are vibrant, the print is even and the buckles are "goldish" (I'd prefer them being silver but I'm sure the gold paint will fade soon). The bag is lined and there are two normal pockets and one zipper pocket inside. The bag doesn't look huge but it is pretty capacious. The measurements provided on the website are true.

As for the shipping, I placed the order on 08/24/2014 and I paid for it immediately with PayPal. I chose the cheapest shipping method (Flat Rate Shipping) but I did paid additionally for a tracking number ($1.99) and the insurance ($1.22) just in case. On 08/28/2014 I was informed the bag has been shipped out and I got the tracking number. My bag was visible in the China Post's tracking system 3 days later. In the end I received the bag on 09/09/2014. It was sent in a padded envelope and the bag inside was additionally protected by some kind of really soft wrapping. All in all it was in a perfect condition.

And here's a zoom on the fabric:

When you open the photos in a new tab/window they will be bigger.
The store is called sammydress.com.
