    Personally, I don't like it.

    What puts me off, is a few chavs in my town have similar bags, and their bags look cheap and tacky, and you could probably get similar in Penneys.:o

    Sorry, I don't mean to put you off, it's just my opinion.

    I agree - i've seen way nicer sorry....:) i don't really like shiny bags so much - a lot of the time they can look tacky - it depends though some can be nice but not this one IMO

    It's not very classic looking.

    You are worried that it may be a bit tacky - you may be right....

    Yeah I have to admit I'm not keen on it either, think guess bags are way overpriced considering they're not leather.

    I have to agree with the others, i think i your interested in getting a guess handbag theres definitely nicer ones. Not quite sure what it is about it... maybe the chains make it look a bit cheap.

    id agree... i think its the shinyness. The bag has a slouchy, casual look to it so it definatly shouldnt be shiny. Just my opinion

    I dont like it either but not because it looks like something a ''chav'' would own, its just not my taste.

    I would go for a more classic style. Did you have a look in BT's at the DNKY ones?

    I don't like guess bags at all. They always look cheap and tacky. In that price range I like DKNY bags. TK Maxx are really great for leather bags.

    It just has too much going on at the same time: Metal chains, shininess, some sort of texture to the leather, what looks like studs, a big metal "G"...

    One or two of these might good, but all together and it's overkill

    Meh, its okay.. But if you're going to spend that kind of money on a bag I'd go for something nicer. I was looking on ASOS today, they have some really nice ones.

    If your worried its tacky and think its tacky, then it probably is tacky! I usually like guess bags but have seen different style ones than the one in the picture that might be less erm boderline tacky.....just think if your having doubts about it your prob better off not buying it! :D

    I personally would say it's a tad tacky, but I generally have little time for Guess bags, anyway! I'd agree with Stella777 about it all being too much!

    There are definitely much nicer bags around for that price, or less! :)

    I agree. TK Maxx is the best value for money when it comes to bags. I like great quality, big leather bags. Got beautiful Rossanti bag four years ago in there- have been wearing it all the time and it still makes some of my friends jelous. I got it for the quater of its original value. Money well spent.
