These bags give me PTSD. I worked in a department store in the handbags section and every ten minutes some little brat would come in to buy one of these as a schoolbag. £61 on a schoolbag? Yup. You'd better believe it. Those kids were so spoilt that it made me feel ill.
I used to love PB handbags due to their edgy styles and at a cost of a fraction of the price of the high end designer bags that sport the same kind of design. However, i realised that the prices have increased quite a bit and now it is just way too much for them now. Thanks for sharing, and i do love a bit of patent too =)
I would love a PB bag but I just can't bring myself to get something that spoilt brats use as schoolbags. This one does look a little classier than the usual zebra/leopard print fare though.
I agree with Anonymous, I go to the kind of school where in mufti day it's jack wills and Abercrombie everywhere and Paul's Boutique is a favourite among a certain kind of girl. I just can't stand the brand because if those associations.
Say it ain't so! I love that bag! Since there are no snot nosed brats associated with it here in the states I would gladly pay 61£ for a smart bag like that. I'm just sayin.....
I've never heard of this brand, have never seen a schoolgirl carry one (maybe we're a bit behind over here?!) and think it looks way more expensive than it is. I love it!!
Surprised you haven't heard of Paul's Boutique - Just stand outside a secondary school for a couple of minutes and you will see tons of them! It's a shame really because I adore everything about this bag!
I have a 'Holly' Paul's Boutique Bag in Navy (previously in nude but the strap broke after a month of use and PB was very good at replacing it with no argument!) and even with the sterotype I totally love it. Obviously I take off the tacky charm that comes with it and then it looks like a sophisticated bag. If you avoid anything with serious leopard print (and sometimes zebra) you are safe from the high school comparisons I assure you! :)

These are literally the most hated bags in the UK. I would advise anyone to stay away from Pauls Boutique

Wow.. I genuinely had no idea that this brand carries so many connotations..I had no clue at all! I kind of feel put off it myself now.

Oh my gosh what a beautiful bag
That's much nicer than their usual range which seem to be barely disguised Louis Vuitton knock offs. Not sure I'd pay that much for that brand though.
