Re: Another really stupid review

HH, it's a Review and as such it's not stupid. It's the person's experience on a purchase she made and how she feels about it. I have had bags that were very wide, but because of the way they are made, it is hard to get into them.

There is no sense having a review option on items purchased if one is not allowed to give their own opinion. I have reviewed items that I didn't like while others did. We are all not going to like the same thing.

Just saying

Re: Another really stupid review

Beauty product reviews are the ones that can be really STUPID.

Take a product that says it takes weeks to months to see results.

You will inevitably see a review that says ""I used it for a week and got no results. So back it goes.""

Re: Another really stupid review

Why embarrass a certain poster? Keep looking, the original poster will find a lot of reviews that will seem stupid to her that most of us will just overlook. You can tell a lot about a person by what they post about.

I think I may have found the review.

I remembered from reading past postings that HH preferred Travelon and Vera Bradley handbags over leather handbags. So I did a search on both brands of purses, specifying a 13½" width and found this Vera Bradley handbag (item #A260649). It took me about 20 minutes to find it:

Vera Bradley Microfiber Medium Bowler Bag with Coin Purse

Here is the review:

Nice Handbag -- Posted by LosAngelesgal -- 10-29-14

"This is a nice handbag. I bought it in black. I think the quality of the fabric is very good, but the only thing I didn't like was that the inside of the pockets are lined with a plastic type fabric and there is an odor. I don't know if the odor is from the plastic or the microfiber fabric. It kind of smells like rubber. I think the front pocket could have been a little bigger. I can barely fit my hand inside it to retrieve my phone. I'm unsure if I could recommend it to a friend because of the smell. I'm hoping the smell will fade as I use it. I still think it's a nice handbag and plan to keep it. "

The problem with HH's rendition of this review [if, in fact, it is the correct one -- and believe me, I read at least 60-70 reviews] is that the reviewer is speaking of the flat pocket on the front of the purse, not the 13½" zippered portion on the main body of the purse. So this entire brouhaha has been "much ado about nothing."

I suppose I will be on HH's "ignore list" now.

At least I'll be in good company. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

GREAT RESEARCH, GOOD JOB!!

I think the reason the item#(A260649) wasn't provided initially nor added -- from the OP -- is because she knew she misrepresented the review. Not a big deal in the scheme of things, but too important of a detail to be overlooked and then ignored.
