The answer is, pretty delighted! The website is very funky and easy to navigate, which made choosing my bag stress-free. I couldn't decided whether to go for my usual oversized holdall-type bag, or something a little more delicate. I opted for the latter, and chose the Knightsbridge bag in classic black. Apparently i'm in good company: it's one of the brands best sellers!
I went for the matt black, but the bag also comes in a patent black and an array or bold and pastel colours. The gold strap can be switched around so you can wear the bag two ways: which a long strap (which is long enough to go across your body) or a short shoulder bag-type strap. Looking at their site, it seems the chain handle is something of a specialism for them, and they do it really well. Obviously when you look at this bag you draw immediate comparisons to a Chanel, as the style and quilting are so similar. This didn't bother me as much as I thought it would though, as it's such a lovely bag.
On a boring and practical front, the thing I loved most about the bag was the inside: it has so many pockets and zip up areas which makes this the perfect bag for a day trip or holiday. You could put your cash/camera in the very middle zip up pocket, and it would be impossible for anyone to pickpocket you. Also, the lining of the bag is leopard print, which I love !

The bag is slightly too small to contain everything I carry on a day to day basis (it's a tad too narrow to fit my filofax in) but everything else fits in like a charm. This would be a perfect bag for a day when I wanted to be more streamlined: for example for going out after work, going to a gig, or a daytrip when i'm on holiday. I think it's lovely, and overall i'm really pleased with it!

Get a smaller filofax xx
I bought a Marc B bag from TK Maxx a while back....I had no idea who Marc B was but now I see their stuff popping up everywhere! It's a navy blue bag with gold buckles, and I was worried that I'd been influenced into buying it by my nautical-themed outift of the day. A few months on it's my absolute favourite bag....it's one of those ones with a long adjustable strap and a shorter one so you can change how you wear it and I absolutely love it!

Loved your being influenced by Emma Bunton comment - don't worry the same thing happens to me!
I had a Marc B bag but it broke within two weeks of use :( I was so sad cos I loved the design and the leopard print lining!
I was doing some research on Marc B bags and came to your page. The bag looks so pretty in your picture compared to ones on shopping sites and it had me convinced so I just bought one for $27.50 :)
I got the Marc B Belevedere yesterday - I couldn't choose between it or the Cherie but I was swayed by the size and the all the organisation pockets inside. I wanted a smaller bag so I think the Knightsbridge is next on my list, such good prices!
just literally bought this bag and thinking of doing a review of it on my own blog! following your blog, care to return the favour? :)
