To buy or not to buy? - Page 2 - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

My vote is for the first one. Almas are cool looking, but it would be very hard to carry that and baby around.

hi juicyholicmom! let-trade bags don't smell like mothballs all the time. i've personally owned some of their stuff. but if you happen to get a bag that does smell like moth balls, a couple of hours "airing" them out should help. i also store my bags in a closet with scented liners (i get mine from crabtree and evelyn). that helps, too. anyway, the musette is cute but much too small IMO. if you find a large one, then i think that's a better buy. the price is not bad, though. the alma is a wonderful bag but not very practical with a baby. i love my damier alma but it has taken a back seat to my shoulder bags since i need both hands with two kids in tow. good luck!

I prefer the Alma over the shoulder bag, but for practicality, numero uno!
And those Mr. Clean sponges are PHENOMENAL.

The shoulder bag cause coming from a mum with two kids as well, you need to have your hands free.

its okay if its not that big, as I have a diaper bag for all of my son's stuff, it's just something to put my wallet and mobile and pda... without having my handsfull...

I'm wondering though, my wallet is the coach slim envelope (in the my first coach bag thread), you reckon it will fit here in the tango musette?

where can I get those Mr. Clean thingys? Hope they're available here in Australia...

anyway my dh saw the photo of the bag and he goes, "I won't let you buy that it's so dirty" but I told him there's a way to clean it and I can't go wrong for that price on the LV...

You can buy the Mr. Clean magic erasers here...they ship to Australia too! I've used the erasers before...and they're pretty cool..and they work!

Laurenza has that bag. (Musette Tango) She can fit lots of things in hers. Actually I think she stuffs it full!

LOL!

How can I convince my DH,as I really want it and all he says is wait a couple more months he'll get me a bag from an LV store... but I really really want this and it's reasonably priced... and since my in-laws are in the US now, I'm having them get the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser...
