@haydesigner came down here to say the same - great writeup today, particularly entertaining! actually read the whole thing instead of glazing over halfway through.
Are we 100% sure that these aren’t from the Cleveland Indians baseball guy Carlos Santana? I mean, at least he has a reason for holding a purse, what with the batting gloves and such.
To Meh and members, I’m new and haven’t had time to explore much yet, but thank you for the daily laughs from the item descriptions to the comments to today’s pic of the guitarboy with the namesake bag in hand. @OnionSoup I think a Shark vacuum cleaner would fit inside…
Hey MEH, any chance you can get a load of those hats guitarboy is wearing in the photo?
Sadly, the wife has already donated her buckskin-frilled hippie frontier jacket to the masses, so she has nothing to wear whilst rocking such a “groovy thang” as this.
Why are people rewarding designers with buying their bags made with fake leather? They are now listed as “vegan” or “cruelty free”. You gotta be fuckin kidding me. You know whats cruel? Selling a fake leather bag thats costs more than a real leather bag! Go hug a tree…
@Pantheist It would be cool though if they painstakingly created an artificial life form at the genetic level with some kind of synthetic DNA-analog, optimized for generating large amounts of hide, and then they killed and skinned it in a lab and now they pretend it’s just plastic whenever anybody asks.
How much stuff will fit in this bag. Could I fit my laptop? What about my laptop and a bunch of other shit? And is there a crossbody strap?
I have so many questions! But really, I just need to see some stuff inside the bag so I have a sense of scale.
@Jasonf1984 so they weren’t kidding on the Santana part? Not that it matters much. I’m not sure of the lining. Seems it will hold a nice size tablet. Being flamboyant in a town the size of 3,ooo is pretty easy. I’m just not sure about this. It’s def cheap enough. I lean more towards camera lens bags these days.
I’m really worried about myself. I haven’t bought anything in months. I don’t hit the deal sites up as feverishly as I used to. Actually days can go by before I glance at them, I have a blog-houseofjunk-I used to visit the Goodwill every day for a decade or so, and now, it’s been so long. (more will be revealed.)
@Jasonf1984 it’s actually selling for $80 plus $16 shipping so $96 hmmm not much of a bargain on eBay. $50 is the starting bid. Still vegan translates to synthetic and at that price ha lol
So what kind of warning labels do these come with?
Are they known to cause cancer or other illnesses, are they unsafe to be near, do they destroy the environment or the economy, are they way more destructive to the environment to create than “non-fake non-vegan leather”?
Hey @Hollboll and other CS people, this is a real question.

Okay. Good. Well, you had fourteen days to listen to Santana Abraxas and return it if you weren’t completely satisfied. You did nothing. And now you–
LARRY
I didn’t ask for Santana Abraxas! I didn’t listen to Santana Abraxas! I didn’t do anything!
These are very roomy and well made. The leather or plether or whatever it is, is soft and attractive. Used as my carry-on and daily purse for a recent flight. Got an impressive amount of stuff in it for travel days and it’s been right useful on non travel days as well. Both straps are attached with clips and it’s helping me not lose my keys since I can clip them here. So, thanks meh.
Guitar boy? You cant be a day over 30… very disrespectful seriously… Nice bag for the price 29 on amazon with a nicer strap … nice item Meh but i have one left over from the last bag that was a big hit …ty Meh for all the nice merch lately…Problem is i’ve seen most of it on here … and most are repeats but…Love you guys …
Oye como meh . . .
That’s a hell of a write up. Whoever wrote it should seriously consider writing for a living.
@haydesigner I mean, I think that’s what he’s doing already.
@haydesigner came down here to say the same - great writeup today, particularly entertaining! actually read the whole thing instead of glazing over halfway through.
@haydesigner Totally agree. I actually came out of lurking just to give my compliments to the writer. Back to lurking now
@haydesigner I loved the entire write up and bullet points. Fantastic work.
I’m ALL ABOUT a nice handbag!
I’m not at all about this handbag.
Now you’re just TRYING to get me to cancel my vmp… well it won’t work! Meh.
@bpingel93 it takes effort to sign up so in true mediocre spirit I never did
Edit
/giphy I am lazy
Gimme your bag, make it real, or else forget about it
@jeffehobbs NICE!

@rednek_kid Welcome to the chaos, enjoy the ride!
@rednek_kid hello! Hope you can come enjoy the forums more!
Shhh. Don’t tell @Shrdlu you’re selling vegan leather.
@KDemo Too late, cookie. I already saw it. :-}
DuckDuckGo now has exactly one result for that search, and it’s the meh page. Awesome.
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=CS114M16
Aw crap, bing’s got TWO. But they both are the same page. That’s how they pad their index.
@davecort Gmail now has 4, but 3 of them are meh.com and one is edealinfo.com…which takes you to meh.

Carlos Santana? More like Call Me Mañana
@gyozilla
My cousin Macy got one…said it smelled of ditch weed and chorizo.
@SputnikHQ Wow. That’s inappropriate.
@JustKen You tell the Ross Store she bought it at

Are these bags big enough to fit a shark vacuum cleaner inside?
Not my bag
@AttyVette Baby
Lol how can I top the terrible pun that is the deal’s title? It won’t happen.
I’m tempted just for the hanging tassel. Good for whipping whittle people.
What the hell - it’s like you never have anything for the guys!
Vegan leather? aren’t all cows vegan so therefore all leather is vegan? (from cows that is)
@chowland I sure do enjoy an occasional vegan ribeye. Those vegan cows have exquisite taste.
Nice sack!
@yakkoTDI That’s what she said.
@cengland0
Sure you heard her right?
Sack Attack!
You mean the new fancy way of saying plastic. It isn’t synthetic skin.
@Pantheist It would be cool though if they painstakingly created an artificial life form at the genetic level with some kind of synthetic DNA-analog, optimized for generating large amounts of hide, and then they killed and skinned it in a lab and now they pretend it’s just plastic whenever anybody asks.
@awk Haha that would be interesting for sure.
@Pantheist you mean vegan leather isn’t made from vegans?
Well, 3 now and they’re all Meh.com. Doesn’t that Just Feel Better?
How much stuff will fit in this bag. Could I fit my laptop? What about my laptop and a bunch of other shit? And is there a crossbody strap?
I have so many questions! But really, I just need to see some stuff inside the bag so I have a sense of scale.
@sgr42 Only if it’s good shit.
How is 1 bag in 2 standard colors considered a “selection”?
@davecort because you select from those to choices…?
As much as I love this, can’t justify the expense. Wah!
Vegan leather? I’m out. Now, if these were virgin leather, …
@mike808 Did somebody say leather and virgins?
@awk Not for long!
Put 23.00 in it and I will buy it. Shipping Free! Just don’t forget the 23 dollars…
Here’s a black one on ebay for $50 dollars, shows a msrp of $98

@Jasonf1984 probably bought it when was on sale @morningsave
@mehod lol no I don’t usually carry purses, just trying to find some kind of price comparison
@Jasonf1984 it’s actually selling for $80 plus $16 shipping so $96 hmmm not much of a bargain on eBay. $50 is the starting bid. Still vegan translates to synthetic and at that price ha lol
@mehod shh don’t tell everyone! That’s for my evening attire.
@numberslady70 I stand corrected.
Guess the buy button isn’t working. Oh well, the universe is telling me something.
Is it bluetooth enabled?
So what kind of warning labels do these come with?

Hey @Hollboll and other CS people, this is a real question.
@f00l Geez you gonna carry the damn thing or eat it?
@f00l I’m willing to bet they cause cancer in California. Everything does.
@medz Breathing unburnt hydrocarbons and pachouli will do that to you.
@f00l Hey it’s an authentic Carlos for 18 bucks man, what’s a third arm growing out the middle of your forehead between friends anyway.
@cranky1950
I want that third arm!!!
How do I get a fourth one?
@f00l buy another bag

How many different ways can you misspell Abraxas?
Geez, y’all sure are very testi(cle) over this deal.
Larger than I expected.
@Bregyn That’s what she said
@therealjrn
That’s odd. I thought it was what she didn’t say.
@f00l Are you telling me Carlos Santana’s sack is small?
These are very roomy and well made. The leather or plether or whatever it is, is soft and attractive. Used as my carry-on and daily purse for a recent flight. Got an impressive amount of stuff in it for travel days and it’s been right useful on non travel days as well. Both straps are attached with clips and it’s helping me not lose my keys since I can clip them here. So, thanks meh.
So, the suckage just wasn’t enough for you yesterday, Meh?

Calling it ‘vegan leather’ killed my potential interest.
@Felicianomiko I guess you only had vegan interest to begin with.
@Felicianomiko
Indeed, do you realise how many fake cows get killed every year to make fake leather.
Fake cows deserve to live too.
/image no bull
The strap would break within a week, so meh.
