I have a few LG bags, all bought in sales. They're more formal than is really 'me', but recently I broke my shoulder and have been forced to use hand-held bags. The Lulus have come into their own! I find that I like the structured shape; it means I can find things more easily, and when it sits on the floor it stays upright and doesn't collapse into a squidge. They really do ooze quality. I also bought my daughter a pink satin LG purse in a Harrods sale. I thought she might not use such a girly thing, but I was amused recently to see that it's her standard container for 'important' items like travelcards; it's been dragged round festivals and backpacking trips, and still looks lovely. I think they're probably worth the money if you want a long-term investment and you're a bit of a girly girl. (I didn't think I was, but there you go!)
