Cute and quirky

I was looking at Midwest Muse's blog and she had shared a gorgeous fox bag she received from Sammydress (whose dress I had also seen on Sophie's blog) and then decided to go and have a look at the fox bag. I clicked on bags and there were STACKS!!!! I had a quick look through them and like the fox bag, I found a few really nice and quirky handbags. Not only that, they are really reasonably priced. Not sure where they are based- China or something from the models, I presume.  There are classic-looking bags as well as these funky ones but I'm all about the novelty! I probably won't be buying any of these. Unlike other items, I am quite restrained* about bags and much as I LOVE them, just feel that I need to have a versatile, moderate-sized bag which I can carry MANY items around in.  Plus I don't NEED one and I always tend to get rid of bags when I have too many (unlike dresses and shoes) so I don't want to get rid of any).  But a girl can dream, right? And admire without purchasing (Yes, CBC, I can do this!).  Plus, I've not ordered from abroad as I don't want to be stung by import tax. What's anyone's experience of it? I'd be interested to know.
Anyway, enough waffling, enjoy the bags.



Rubix cube bag  $7.00

A RUBIX-CUBE BAG!!!  I love rainbow things so I'd love this. Not sure how big it is, or how practical to wear. Are those corners sharp? Will I have poky-bruises in my side after running to the station with it on my shoulders? I'd love this one but willpower reigns.



Owl chain bag $11.85

owl stuff is always cute. This owl is cute. And a little wonky-eyed- like me!



Yellow satchel $8.56

I really like this satchel. It's bright and it has that 'jump out of paper' cartoon quality to it. Very reasonable and probably more the type of everyday one I need but how large is it?

The Cat's meow $13.23

Not that quirky, but I like the fact it looks like you are storing a cat in there!!!


Ear bag $15.55

Not taken by the leopard-skin (although it looks furry- cool, except when you constantly leave rotting fruit in your rucksack, it wouldn't remain nice for long) but IT HAS EARS!

Foxy foxie $13.23
This is the one that Midwest Muse had.  I love it!


Clock bag $9.53
Yes, I like the idea of the clock bag- feeds my Doctor Who habit. I always dreamt of having a shelf of clocks, like the Seventh Doctor before he became Paul McGann.   Would be even cooler if the hands turned!

So, would you purchase any of these?** And what's your opinion on bags. I just have to have a large bag!

*In comparison to how I am with other items. Like dresses, shoes, tops, headbands etc.
** Can I just state that I am not encouraging you to buy. No, Char, do not click on that link!!!!

  1. They're really fun aren't they. I don't think I would buy any of them myself, I have enough bags but have yet to find another similar to my oversized patent bag which I always seem to use. I've had it for so many years now and it cost me £5 in a sale. The handles are tatty which is a shame as it ruins the look but I keep using it as it's nice and big (I often end up carrying Andy's things) and it's waterproof which make it a winner. I have plenty of impractical sized bags which I can't seem to part with too xxx

    ps - I have some brads that were given to me as a gift one year but I don't make cards, would you like them?

  3. Cute but definitely not for me, the very fact they are so cheap makes me question their ethics and the way workers are treated. xxx

  4. That fox bag is so cute. I have never ever seen a fox in the real world, so I have such a fascination about them.

  5. HAHAHAHA. I didn't but I bought my sister a similar Rubick's cube bag a while ago. I have a cute owl bag and a clock one and various others so I think I'm going to refrain.

  6. I like bags, but I don't like having too many. The owl bags are sweet! I think I like soft leather bags, but I've never had one.

  7. So cute! I love the owl and the fox. I'm like you, though. I need a more functional bag in a larger size since I am not only lugging around my own stuff, but the kids' necessities, as well!

  8. Oh those are all so cute! I have loved and seen the rubix cube, the fox and the yellow satchel before. Great collection!

    Thanks for the love and support, too! ♥

  9. I'm not really a novelty bag sort of girl, I'm afraid. And I don't really like the thought of those unnecessary air miles either... xx

  10. Love the satchel style one the most.
    I used to be one for bags but instead end to buy shopping bags instead these days!

  12. I have that owl bag! Except from Accessorize who could probably sue! (or the other way round) I use it for school as I am a Wise Owl obviously.

  13. Ah bags. I find that now I work from home my need for bags has decreased so much, it now seems like all my bags are neglected. Doesn't stop me from window shopping though! I love the yellow satchel - I can't wear yellow but I'm pretty sure I could carry it!

  16. I've seen some of them before on ebay (love the cube) and yes they appear to be Chinese sellers. I've never had to pay customs on anything from Asia.
