Yeah, I don't like it! I liked the old one too much and wish I had purchased it before they discontinued it. I liked how it was much more of a purse than a bag. :(
 
I ordered a bunch of the new stuff on Wed the 6th, it was all here Monday
I like the logo on the tote I have both.
don't use the other one not sure why I "needed" this one.
I would never carry it as a purse thats not my style.
 
This one seems a little wider than the other one. One of my cluster mates had it the other day and I wasnt totally sold on it.

I didn't like the bright white logo, I like the subtle look of just the ribbon.
 
I'm so happy that I got mine when VIP first came out with them (Thanks Carolyn for telling us about it!) I haven't had any problems with it at all. I get lots of compliments on it too. First they say, "Oh your bag is so cute" Then they realize it says Pampered Chef and either tell me they LOVE PC or ask what is PC?

I wish I would have known about the one at VIP. I loved the older one that everyone had before these new changes! Now I am not sure I want to get this one!
 
I like the old one better too...carry it as my purse. Just had someone at church complement me on it. :) I like the subtle look. She didn't even notice the PC logo til she looked closely.
 
I am disappointed with the new one as well. I really wanted the old style. I guess I'll just have to make my own purse & purchase just the ribbons.

My sister knows a lady who makes purses, I figured I'd probably call her and see if she'll make me one.
 
I actually don't like the ribbons & would be willing to sell them. I will probably use this for carrying stuff to the post office or shows.
