This new groups has some cute new shapes. I like them a lot... but I'm not really sure about the print. I guess I'd have to see it in person.

It seems to me most of the bags copy a designer maybe...Louis Vuitton!!
I hate the print. D&B need to go back to the all leather bags...the new stuff just copies other designers. IMO.

I agree they are walking a very thin line with their "Laura" bags since they do resemble the Alma in shape. But I'm just relieved to see some real shapes to their bags for once... everything was just the same old styles for the longest time.
I don't like the color in the examples... but I wonder how the print would look in the other colors. Like I said, I'd have to see them in person.

maybe if the print was so small you could barely see it and the bag comes in flavors then i think it may be a little more original. even though lv has that signature of color i think that needs a change too

Okay... I just saw these in person... nevermind, they look just as gross in person as they do on the website. Gosh... and they were on the right track by mixing things up with some new shapes too. If the pattern would just have been tone-on-tone, it would have looked MUCH better. But when you have this gross orangish red with cream colored lettering.... It just looks awful... even from a distance.
