what i think about some designer handbag styles

Chanel: ladylike and smooth lambskin. large logos on empty canvases.
Gucci: lots of logo'd print paired with cheap thin brown leather. that looks like pleather to me. or logo'd leather which i absolutely don't get.
Louis Vuitton: Lots of LV's. on canvas. Or their like 2 styles of non-monograms. On canvas. Or shiny plastic-coated leather. And lots of limited edition pieces with a twist on the old boring monogram. Still boring (and most of the time ugly; i hate the color combos. seriously)
Bottega Veneta: seriously, i don't get it? I've only felt this brand a few times in stores but it doesn't seem at all lush to me. The woven leather was, like, STIFF AND HARD. I don't care how good the quality of the bag is, the designs suck and the woven leather doesn't even feel good.
Dolce & Gabbana: lady-like random satchels without really a theme. But lady-like and nice leather.
Prada: Lots of nylon. Lots of folded leather. Lots of plaques/small logos. Looks kind of plasticky, even if real.
Miu Miu: Nothing really. Just the coffer bag and the bow satchel. I know they have lots more but nothing really strikes me as a theme. Maybe nice colorful leather.
Balenciaga: Tassels, braided handles, and the same-looking bag in all different sizes and colors. Lots of colors. Also, sort of "unfinished" looking leather - aka leather that doesn't look shiny.
Hermes: Old women in fur coats. Pebbly leather. I hate pebbly leather.
Chloe: a ton of unnecessary hardware, compartments, and extra pieces of leather used to connect parts of the bag.
Kate Spade: Boxy, squarish bags.
Coach: Shininess. At least, now. Before: brown monograms.
Juicy couture: lots of bows, velvety peeling flowers, and unmatching colors. Also logos that look bad by themselves but even worse because they chose the absolute worst contrasting colors to use.
Valentino: Large use of supposed "girly" things: braids, bows, sequins. And more bows. Shiny-over-the-top halloween style girliness.
Jimmy Choo: Nice, pretty hobos of the statement less is more. Although some of their bags remind me too much of Chloe.
Versace: the medusa. and medusa-inspired fashion. 'nuff said.
