Default Betseyville by Betsey Johnson 'Call Me, Betsey' Phone Satchel


Betseyville by Betsey Johnson 'Call Me, Betsey' Phone Satchel
For designer Betsey Johnson's latest Spring accessory season, she released this 'Call Me, Betsey' Phone Satchel. Breathing to life the infamous 1970’s Telephone novelty bag, but in a more cartoon-ish colored rendition. Sorry guys, but unlike the 70’s novelty phone which could call out from any source by plugging in to any jack, this Betsey telephone bag is just your basic novelty purse. But hey, that’s what cellphones are for.

It should be no surprise (since I broadcast it everytime I speak about BJ,) I find Betsey Johnson's designs to be either a hit or a total miss. Her bags are definitely bold and eye-catching, but no way would I carry such a bag.

Tell me what you guys think of this Betsey Johnson ‘Call Me’ phone bag. Or Betsey Johnson designs in general.

It'd be great for a 12 year old girl. But I would NEVER carry it. Honestly, many of BJ's bag are tacky in my opinion. And this one is within the top of the list...

Love the pic of Parker Posey. That bag was totally made for her. (not me)

Not a fan of the phone bag, but I've never been big on things that look like other things. And who uses a rotary phone nowadays? Maybe if the bag was shaped like a Sidekick...

I think Betsey herself is fabulous, though. Love how she's like 60 yrs old and can still do a cartwheel! I'm in my 20s and I can't do one
