I’m totally with you when the logo is splashed all over the piece. It’s tacky, and if you’re stuff is so good there should be no need to “shout” who made it. Designers should have more subtle signatures in my opinion. I’d still buy the Miss Sixty bag though, that logo is not so noticeable.

@Shannon: Thanks! Nice to know I’m not the only one, and totally agree about the more subtle signatures. And yeah…I’m totally OCDing about the Miss Sixty logo. That’s pretty much as subtle as it gets.
Hope you’re enjoying the blog!

Mmmmm…. This is a tough one for me! For the longest time, I’ve HATED logos on designer pieces. I’ve always thought it was very showy, very ‘Look at me, I paid $1500 for this bag’ or ‘Look at me, I’m trendy!’. I still generally believe that, however, I think a couple of logo’d pieces can add a lot of fun to your ensemble. Think of the Dior by Galliano newspaper print dress! That was fun statement I WISH I could have afforded to make! I also have to argue that I feel incredibly fabulous when I’m wearing ANYTHING logo’d by Chanel: sunglasses, a scarf or jewelry, I instantly feel like CoCo herself!

@Amanda: Hmm, you make a fine point! I have to agree, that newspaper print dress was adorable. Remember the episode of SATC when Carrie wears it to lunch with Natasha? Also, I agree with you about the sunglasses. Unless a logo or name is on the lens, I sort of just think of it as part of the accessory, like a fun little extra to the design. Maybe that’s how I should learn to think of it on bags! Well…some bags. But I stick to my case on belts.
