does anyone know anyone who works there please? Someone stole an item out my hands today in a different store and it’s the only store with stock of the item which I’ve hunted everywhere for but I can’t get through to store only a central call centre; anyone know how I can before I drive all that way for potentially wasted journey please?

Morning, everyone. There's been a fair bit of troll-hunting here and, since it looks like the OP has her bag and there's no more to say on the subject now, we're going to close this thread to new posts.

It was definitely the black bag she wanted. Im not sure why the other poster is saying different but it doesn't matter now anyway because she got 1 so I will return the 1 I bought for her. After a rubbish Christmas I thought it would be nice to help someone out but it hasn't worked out that way after all.

Maybe both the same person. Knowing MN, nothing surprises, certainly very strange that they'd both just disappear off the thread. It's very poor form to plea to the extent the OP did, then just ignore you!

As an aside, the bag isn't even that nice.

Ah that's a shame. I was actually rooting for OP to get her bag especially after the troll posts calling her desperate. But that wasn't nice of her giving different people the run around via private messaging and then not even responding once she got what she wanted.
Sorry you wasted your time and effort @Blacksheepatchristmas it was really nice of you to try doing something nice for someone you don't even know. You must be a lovely person!
Happy New Year, I hope you have a less rubbish time of it in the year ahead.

Can you update, OP?

Just to say that looking at the stock levels, approx 2 in stock in black and approx 7 in the taupe - and given that yesterday, OP was saying there were approx 2 in stock - it seems to be the black one she was after?

taIao · 28/12/2025 19:03

I hope the OP has been in touch with you both today @Hallamlass and @Blacksheepatchristmas…?

Alittlebitofthebauble · 28/12/2025 18:39

No need for the nastiness from some posters, obviously they are quite content and live minimalist lives never wanting anything at all.

Any luck op?

Blacksheepatchristmas · 28/12/2025 18:20

I bought the bag in black last night because the OP messaged me & told me that's what she wanted. I let her know but she didn't read my message until tonight.

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 28/12/2025 18:05

It was 16.11pm when @Hallamlass said taupe after someone else posted a picture of the bag in black at 16.01pm

and unless the Op sent personal messages to several posters ? then @Hallamlass was the only person who knew what the Op wanted.

So I can't understand why anyone would be buying a bag this morning when from what I can read only one person knew exactly what the Op wanted and that is the poster that updated us all to say the Op had the bag !

Hallamlass · 28/12/2025 17:43

Anyway, she got what she wanted.
All good!
I'm off now, so Happy New Year everyone!

It was the black one she wanted not taupe.

No, taupe

Hallamlass · 28/12/2025 17:29

Who gave the wrong information?
She gave me a link, I saw it in store, she bought it.
All resolved.

It won’t let me do that as it’s out of stock online, just want to speak to someone in store so it can be saved for hour or two before I can get there

I’d have thought that’s the last thing they’d accede to in a frenetic Sale period.

I got a black one for the OP in Aberdeen but haven't heard back from her...

No, she didn't want the black one. She's got the taupe one and a small cross body bag.

This one?

https://www.marksandspencer.com/pure-leather-buckle-shoulder-bag/p/clp60712213?color=BLACK

Yes! In taupe

Hallamlass · 28/12/2025 16:06

clary · 28/12/2025 16:01

Oooh the asymmetric one? Leather looks gorgeous and for £50 it's good value.

Yes! Great bargain, it looks really nice. I don't know what the other bag was.

Hallamlass · 28/12/2025 15:59

I took a photo of the rack to show the OP, but it won't attach. It's the Autograph leather buckle shoulder bag. Half price in the sale!

clary · 28/12/2025 15:57

Can we at least see the bag? #invested

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 28/12/2025 15:48

Oh good ! I was hoping for an update I read all of the Op's posts but she didn't come back - now I see why
so thank you to @Hallamlass for the update.
