To pay £325 pounds for a basket bag?

[abfluent]

Hey everyone, I came across this Loewe bag a few months ago and i feel like i'm really into it, however not sure whether it's worth buying it for this amount of money (I mean it's just a basket bag). What do you think of it and would you get it?

thanks x

£325 for that?! Seriously? You must have loads of money to burn.

I wouldn't but it's all relative, I would spend that on shoes. If you have the money spare then buy it!

It's awful you could get something much nicer in Primark for a tenner

£325 - not sure I could ever justify that...there is one in joules for £33...doubtvsnyine would know which is more expensive if you put them side by side

Horrible. Don't like the white square bit at the front.

YABU. It's a crazy price and will get manky quickly. Plus you'd only want to use it for a couple/few months of the year.

No I wouldn't waste my money on what's basically a straw basket.

If you like it and can afford it without getting upset when it falls apart then buy it.

Unless you live on a Caribbean island or are a millionaire, I wouldn’t.

@OldGrinch i know, but i feel like there is a story behind this bag (it's hand made) while there is no story behind Primark things and everyone wears them

I suppose it just depends how much £325 is to you, it's all relative so other people's experiences aren't really relevant.

As basket bags go it's nice enough.

I’m desperately trying to convince myself not to buy the small one. Every time I go to buy it I convince myself it’s just a straw bag and in no way worth the price, I can’t possible buy a cheap copy though so I’ll just do without.

If you have the money and love it then go for it.

It's not something I think is nice enough at that price but your money, your choice.

I don't like the white square on the side, which ironically, I think it makes it look cheap.

If you can afford it, buy it, but most won't think it's nicer, worth more or any better quality than a similar bag costing about a tenth of the price.

It’s a lot of money for a bag you can only use a few mths of the year and also it doesn’t look very secure, it’s extremely open.

If 325£ To you is the equivalent of 20 quid to most people then sure get it if it makes you happy. But if it’s a fair whack of money then I’d probably find something less expensive and then buy some nice sunglasses too!

No way would I pay £325 for something that looks like a beach bag my mum had in the 70‘S

I would not pay this for a basket/woven bag because they catch on things and the woven bit goes tatty and rubbish after a year or so.

I can see the value of some leather upmarket handbags, but not this one, it doesn't look worth it and it won't wear well.

This one is handmade for £16.99

why am i not seeing a white square?

Well, I wouldn't pay that much for a basket! I might for a really gorgeous leather bag though.

You are being ripped off. Seen similar bags for a few pounds.

I would say no, silly price as bound to fray very quickly, get something longer lasting

A story behind it,oh puhlease!

It's a hideous looking thing imo and the only story is the fact it's way to expensive for what it is. There are far nicer bags out there with nice stories.

The Amazon one is much nicer.

I think it’s hugely overpriced given it’s mainly straw!

£325 on that? Never in a million years. Think how much the person who made it gets ...
