Eeeewwww!

SiamoNellaMerda · 03/02/2012 21:51

Absurd. You could get 3 trips to Venice for 2 for that. Then buy a hooky one from a street trader!

Wittsend13 · 03/02/2012 21:51

That is hilarious OP. I agree with whoever above who said it was a bit gay... It looks like the sort of thing Pete Burns would have..

ShagOBite · 03/02/2012 21:52

I think you have more things to worry about if that's his taste.

troisgarcons · 03/02/2012 21:52

Its bit well GAY

Does he go out a lot without you?

squeakytoy · 03/02/2012 21:52

MissV.... some of mine would be thilled... Grin

WillCrossThatBridge · 03/02/2012 21:52

Oh my, when you said hideous, I was really wondering how hideous a satchel could be but that is really horrible!

I don't think you are being unreasonable at all. You could buy some nice plain A4 cardboard document wallets and have your DC/nephew/niece stick some fake rhinestones on it for a lot cheaper AND it would be unique and handcrafted!

squeakytoy · 03/02/2012 21:53

I am thinking more Boy George than Pete Burns though...

countessbabycham · 03/02/2012 21:53

Mind you,I think anyone who spends that amount of money on a bag is being unreasonable...

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 03/02/2012 21:54

YANBU for being pissed off at him for spending that amount on a bag. That bag is truly one of the most awful things that I have seen in a long time

imgoingtokilldh · 03/02/2012 21:54

i know i told him it look really really gay,and he's going to look like an idiot, he just think it looks quirky.
i told him he could by that on the market for a fiver

That is so horrible! Your husband is strange. mind you, my dp would just have wasted it on beer and fags Ebay?

imgoingtokilldh · 03/02/2012 21:55

in fact it is worse than hideous it is revolting.

Shock

What's his job?

sundew · 03/02/2012 21:55

I agree - really hideous Shock that anyone could think it looks OK.

OTheHugeManatee · 03/02/2012 21:55

Wow.

Does he ever ask to borrow your shoes?

FannyPriceless · 03/02/2012 21:56

Oh my god no! I am very sorry to inform you that he is gay. And not in a good way.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 03/02/2012 21:56

I actually LOLed when I saw that bag

SiamoNellaMerda · 03/02/2012 21:56

What's his job?

GayLord in chief?

Grin
Snakeonaplane · 03/02/2012 21:57

I was fully prepared to come and defend him but that is hideous, very Liberace, I can imagine the carrier wearing a pair of those platic Disney princess pretend high heels for some reason Confused.

Did you always know he was gay?

imoanruby · 03/02/2012 21:57

My god, that is surely a ladies bag....how can something that expensive look so tacky and cheap?!

YADNBU!

ImpatientOne · 03/02/2012 21:58

Grin John Barrowman - hilarious Grin

I LOVE bags and spend too much money not £1100 though on them but that really is beyond grotesque!

My DH would not be in the same room as that thing never mind spend money on it.

I feel for you OP Thanks

OTheHugeManatee · 03/02/2012 21:59

Seriously though. Most companies I can think of would mock a man mercilessly for weeks if he was seen carrying that article. What does he do for a living?

Snakeonaplane · 03/02/2012 21:59

Ooh ooh, tell us what he does, I'm dying to know.

IUseTooMuchKitchenRoll · 03/02/2012 21:59

Have you noticed any of your clothes going missing recently OP?

Any tights or underwear looking a bit stretched?
