- I don't really follow Nancy's style. I saw her in the vest, and thought she did it very well. You're right, I can't imagine her trying to pull off a hard edge rock look.

are tapestry bags synonymous with high fashion?

Started by Michael J. Pratt · 10 months ago

Mary Poppins’ tapestry bag worked wonders for her, but does it make magic for the rest of us? Gucci seems to think it does. They are featuring tapestry bags in their Fall accessories collection. Does the fact that Gucci deems them fashionable actually mean they are? Are you more ... Continue reading »

Unless they make one that is bottomless like Mary Poppins', I would never consider buying a tapestry bag - it really looks like they are made out of a carpet. And I don't even like that style on my floors.

I must admit ... I agree! I'm trying to see it from a different point of view (stylistically) but ....

Okay, I would totally carry one if it were hugely oversized and it went with my outfit. This is kind of "me". I would wear it with my shrunken brown velvet jacket, flowy silk cami, skinny jeans, chocolate stiletto heels/boots, and some chunky gold jewelry with my huge cranberry carpet bag. Very everyday.

Not that I am giving up my Erotokritos bag or vintage Gucci tote anytime soon, but...it's a great way to be "fall" without sweltering.

I own a vintage 1960's tapestry purse and I just love it! I think they can be extremely fashionable.

Seriously though, these fashion rules really don't exist. Just because the fashion gods have said one thing doesn't mean its really true. Reality is, its only considered fashionable because somebody said it is and we decide to agree with them. It is just as easy to not agree.

So who cares - wear what you want and love it!

I love Gucci Tapestry Hysteria tote!This bag that doesn't need any design gimmick, intricate logo, or heavy hardware to make it stand out.
