To be annoyed I didn't get an Anya Hindmarsh bag?

Or more specifically to be annoyed at the people who did?

I always do my weekly Sainsburys shop on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning, shop is always pretty empty. I live on North Coast of N Ireland, not exactly fashion/latest trends hotspot, so I assumed very few people up here would know about it, and arrived at the shop at 8.

I didn't get one, because some people had been outside the shop since 1 this morning! Most arrived around 6, and had I been there 10/15 minutes earlier I probably would have been one of the last to get one, as only a couple of people in front of me didn't get one.

What made me really annoyed was the women who had got them talking openly about selling them on ebay, and the fact that some of them don't even normally shop in Sainsburys (according to staff, who said they recognised about half of the people who got them).

Sorry for the rant, I think I probably am being unreasonable to be annoyed, but it doesn't seem fair! I wanted one to use it, I always shop there!

Yes Expat, expect they're all sold out by now everywhere. I like reusing bags too so wanted it for that purpose as well as being a nice bag. Wouldn't give the ebay sellers the pleasure of paying over the odds as it was being sold for charity....

Didn't get one either, got there at 7.30 about 100 people in the queue already didn't even get out of the car.

Think i'll just wait till they come down in price on ebay, but your not at all unreasonable i'm feeling annoyed that most of the people who got one just wanted to make money on ebay.

Sour grapes I know!

Are they only sellling them on the one day?

It's only a bag.

Just hear Anya Hindmarsh being interviewed on 5 live, she said they underestimated demand, and although more have been made, they are already lined up for the American market (where they're being launched in June) then Japan etc.

Hope more do come out here, I'm not that into fashion, but I do like reusing bags/having biggish bags that actually look nice, rather than something my granny would use.

Are they selling in every sainsburys?

percypig · 25/04/2007 09:08

Made of cotton, says 'I am not a plastic bag', is perfect size for carrying a few bits of shopping or as a big bag/change bag. They were £5 in Sainsburys, but sell for £150 or moare on ebay
