Handbag - yay or nay?

I've bought this and am trying to decide whether to keep it or not. Is it likely to last more than one season being, as it is, uber shiny (in terms of durability and fashion)? Does it look nice? My husband says it looks cheap, but his fashion sense is even worse than mine, especially where handbags are concerned.

If it's not a good buy, what should I get instead? Needs to be black, smart, relatively roomy and ideally around £100 mark or less.

    I like the shape but would have to see just how shiny it is in real ife. It could look cheeper than it is IYSWIM.

    I don't like it either sorry, for that price I would want GORGEOUS and its not.

    I might just have cheap taste though!

    This one is a large black leather one from oasis. John Lewis has a huge selection too...

    Thanks - hmm - not so promising! It is very shiny, but is ostrich (or ostrichlike - is leather) and I think it carries it off. It isn't something I'd normally go for at all, but it is very smart which is what I'm looking for. I haven't seen anything I like as much elsewhere, but I don't know if I'd go off it - I certainly don't want it to look cheap.

    I like it, I don't know that I like it £169 much but I don't think it looks cheap. I also like the one that Starry25 posted the link for.

    At the end of the day it sounds like you really like it so stuff what everyone else thinks I say!
