You don't need an expensive buggy. Get one from woolworths.

Post a link to the bag.

Based on your last post, I say go for it On a different scale I bought a Mulberry purse that I thought was eye-wateringly expensive for what it was, but it gives me pleasure everytime I use it, ie several times a day

Will it make you happy? Honestly?

I am 45 and have never had a bag worth more than £50 and that was a Christmas present from DH.

How will it improve your life?

What is the meaning of a Chloe bag? You do realise, don't you, that there are millions of us who wouldn't know a Chloe bag if it hit us in the face? So while you are strutting around with it on your arm thinking "Oh I'm so great I have a Chloe bag, everyone must realise" the vast majority of people will be oblivious?

Pah at modern ridiculous shallow consumerism.

Don't get me wrong - I LOVE the bag, but could never spend that much money on it.

I would only buy it, is I were as rich as Mrs Beckham

can you not track down a cheaper 'look-a-like'?

tbh, am a bit like eek, i wouldn't know a chloe bag if i fell over it (which i probably would). plus if i spent that much on a bag, i would feel as though i would have to use it everyday for the rest of my life!

I think it depends if you will really really love it and use it for years. I have never bought a designer handbag because I am too flibbertigibbetlike for quality and always want a change after 6 months or so. But one of my loveliest friends has a mulberry bag that she loves and has used every single day for years and years since she bought it at some horrendous price. It really has been worth it for her.

Get it. I have a Mulberry Elgin and have lost count of the number of compliments I've had on it, all from women, and even women who haven't got a clue that it's Mulberry. It always amazes DH who just doesn't get it, he think it looks like something from a greek leather market! A bag like that will last a lot longer than a Phil and Teds
