Betseyville by Betsey Johnson ‘Call Me, Betsey’ Phone Satchel
For designer Betsey Johnson’s latest Spring accessory season, she released this ‘Call Me, Betsey’ Phone Satchel. Breathing to life the infamous 1970’s Telephone novelty bag, but in a more cartoon-ish colored rendition. Sorry guys, but unlike the 70’s novelty phone which could call out from any source by plugging in to any jack, this Betsey telephone bag is just your basic novelty purse. But hey, that’s what cellphones are for.

It should be no surprise (since I broadcast it everytime I speak about BJ,) I find Betsey Johnson’s designs to be either a hit or a total miss. Her bags are definitely bold and eye-catching, but no way would I carry such a bag.

Tell me what you guys think of this Betsey Johnson ‘Call Me’ phone bag. Or Betsey Johnson designs in general.

    eeech, yuck, yuck. This bag is tragic.

  2. Girl-Woman says:

    I would only use it to call Fashion 911!

  3. Cookie says:

    An awful bag. Even teens wouldn’t buy this. They too want fashionable designer handbags.

  4. jessica turner says:

    Her Betseyville line is very ugly. So many girls at my school have bags from that line, so unstylish. However, I do enjoy her higher label – betsey johnson.

  5. MARK LOWRY says:

    This looks like a doggy chew toy.

  6. Victoria V. says:

    Mark, that’s what I was thinking too. This doesn’t look wearable. What would someone wear with this bag.

  7. Dierregi says:

    Could it be any uglier? I can hardly believe this bag exists.

  8. joanna says:

    obviously none of you would know fashion if it hit you in tha face.
    fashion is ALL ABOUT taking risks, which Betsey Johnson is known for.
    if her collections were so hidious, none of us would be sitting here
    on this website taking the time to even LOOK.
    open your minds!

    ^ you obviously have no idea what you are talking about.

    not everybody has to like a bag just because of a name.

    open your mind!

    this is the 70's novelty bag i was talking about

  13. VivaLaJuicy says:

    Umm... it's cute... I guess... but definitely not for me!

  14. Alicia says:

    It'd be great for a 12 year old girl. But I would NEVER carry it. Honestly, many of BJ's bag are tacky in my opinion. And this one is within the top of the list...

    But I like this one. Betsey Johnson Handbags - shopbop.com
