I nearly called troll, but was enjoying the thread too much, reminds me of MN days of old .....

The jacket is very Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen circa 1996 and the clutch bag 'document holder' is very Rita from Corrie circa 1988.

imgoingtokilldh's DH hard at work in the office with his colleagues from accounts.

Perhaps it's his way of telling u he's gay.

Mimishimi · 04/02/2012 02:11

Oh my goodness. That's a very effeminate looking bag there! I'd be asking more questions than just about the cost of it!!! Haha. YANBU - it's ridiculous and not even a full size bag - just something to put your papers in.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 04/02/2012 07:23

Terrific Cari!

ComposHat · 04/02/2012 07:33

it is a bit gay

None of the gay men I know would be seen with that...thing. Dolly Patron maybe.

It looks like something you'd get in a sale bin at Clare's Accessories.

StealthPenguin · 04/02/2012 09:15

I like this bag, personally! I'd be demanding that I get one!

But YADNBU - that bag is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. It looks like something Dolly Parton would carry wigs in!

troisgarcons · 04/02/2012 09:17

stealth - Primark sell those

Robinredboobs · 04/02/2012 09:18

I haven't read the thread but that is a purse. It is a disgusting, ugly purse. Is this a joke? A man actually bought that to use?

catgirl1976 · 04/02/2012 09:19

That bag is fugly

Leave the bastard :)

BayPolar · 04/02/2012 09:45

I'm just on page 3 of this thread but I am laughing so hard.
Tears are streaming my face.
To think he's walking around with this oblivious to 11 pages devoted to his new bag.
I haven't laughed this hard in ages.
Thank you ladies, for bringing some cheer to Japan this lonely evening.

Just read the OPs post about her husband wearing "carrot top" jeans....

The only people I have seen wearing those are boys under the age of 18... they look absolutely ridiculous on every person who wears them.

Almost as though there is a nappy being worn underneath, and they need a good yank up and a belt on them.

BayPolar · 04/02/2012 09:49

p.s I would be livid if my dp paid so much for a bag.
But he wouldn't ever do this, even though he's super rich, he still gets all his stuff - 'cept undies and jeans -from used clothing stores. Which is why I love him so much.

ledkr · 04/02/2012 09:51

squeakybe a love and link that thread will you?
Im reeling about this bag tbh,it looks like an oversize make up bag or a peg bag. Its for women right? Poor bloke he thinks cos its prad its trendy Grin
Shopping for you today then op.Imagine all the clothes you can get for 1100

Latara · 04/02/2012 09:54

YANBU - get the receipt & take it back asap! £1100 is more than my current monthly income - what planet is your DH on to waste that much on a bag?! He can clearly afford a decent laptop bag or work bag but why spend more than M&S or even Tesco prices for a bag that will likely get put in a dusty corner & have tea spilt on it?

BayPolar · 04/02/2012 10:00

I'm choking with laughter. Just saw the jacket.

Ledkr its a few pages back on this thread.. Grin

The image I am getting of this man is one that would certainly make him stand out from the crowd.. and not in a good way! Grin

pranma · 04/02/2012 10:36

I can't believe a man would ever want a thing like that-more money than sense my mum would have said-and in this case I agree.

TiggyD · 04/02/2012 10:50

It's not your regular gay's manbag. It's not even a truly FABULOUS gay's manbag, or a dragbag. It's a fashion victim with more money than sense's manbag of any sexuality.

ComposHat · 04/02/2012 11:01

It's a fashion victim with more money than sense

Christiano Ronaldo would own this bag.

nicknamenotinuse · 04/02/2012 11:06

A man bought that??????? Strewth. It looks like the last thing wallowing in the bottom of a bargain bucket bin in a sale. With a £1100 price tag crossed out, going down in £10's and then the final price is £FTGHPTFTA. Free to good home please take the fugly thing away.

IvanaHumpalot · 04/02/2012 11:07

My DH said...

"it's a bit..."

MoreBeta · 04/02/2012 11:08

No married man would buy a bag like that!

Just like no married man would accidentally buy black jeans with rhinestones on the back pockets and then hide them in his wardrobe in case DW finds them.

for the benefit of the latter posters, it was revealed by the OP last night that this thread is a wind up

a very good one, that still has legs, obviously Smile
