My sister gave it to me and she usually has decent taste! AIBU to think this is the tackiest shite bag I've ever seen?

I can't be arsed to give it views.

If you don't like it, don't use it?

OwlBeThere · 05/12/2020 22:02

It’s not any worse than most handbags.

DreadingSeason2020sFinale · 05/12/2020 22:03

It's horrible, I'll give you that...

KitKat1985 · 05/12/2020 22:04

YABU. I get you don't like the bag, (it's not to my taste either) but given that it was presumably given with good intentions as a gift, could you not just discretely sell it? If I was your sister I'd be really upset not only that you didn't like the gift, but that you've posted about how much you hate the gift on the internet.

Maireas · 05/12/2020 22:05

Give it to a charity shop. Someone will want it.

NiceGerbil · 05/12/2020 22:06

I don't like the brand name

Walking around with Floozie written on me!

The style is very 80s so maybe bang on trend for all I know. I was around for the first go round Grin

jessyjo2 · 05/12/2020 22:06

Hope your sister not a mumsnetter!!!!

4boysandadog · 05/12/2020 22:10

Yes it's awful. Bin.

jessstan1 · 05/12/2020 22:13

Just don't use it. Put in a drawer or cupboard and forget it.

It's not very nice to advertise your distaste for the gift on here, your sister may be a poster.

supermodel · 05/12/2020 22:15

Everything about that is horrible.

jambeforeclottedcream · 05/12/2020 22:16

It's the floozie branding

There's a lovely charity nr me where at Christmas you pack an unwanted handbag with necessities and some nice things for homeless people. So stuff it with toiletries, socks, hats glove scarf, chocolates, etc .

wineandroses1 · 05/12/2020 22:16

Blimey that’s shite.

Mummyoflittledragon · 05/12/2020 22:17

It’s a bit Betty Boop. And rather fugly. However the fashion is going very strange atm and rather 80’s. Lots of joggers, lounge wear and oversized jackets with shoulder pads / puffers.

Diva66 · 05/12/2020 22:17

My sister gave me a ghastly handbag one Christmas. I hid it in the bottom of the wardrobe for a few years before getting rid of it.

What a lovely idea.

  1. Ask her for. receipt to return
  2. If she doesnt have one then donate to dogs home
  3. She will know that you hate it based on option 1.
Davros · 05/12/2020 22:19

Haysus Christus that's horrid

vampirethriller · 05/12/2020 22:19

I like it..

giantangryrooster · 05/12/2020 22:20

Wow it looks like good quality... plastic Grin.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 05/12/2020 22:21

I actually quite like it. Mind you I'm a fiend for polka dots. The only reason why I wouldn't use on a personal level is that it wouldn't really match with anything I've got.

katy1213 · 05/12/2020 22:22

God, that's horrible. And €25, you could get something nice for that! I'm not sure about donating it to the homeless, though. It could be the last straw for some poor soul down on her luck at Christmas!

Chickychickydodah · 05/12/2020 22:23

Oh dear 🤢

KarlKennedysDurianFruit · 05/12/2020 22:23

If she usually has good taste I call a re-gift....

naemates · 05/12/2020 22:25

Are you selling it on that link?

smoqpuas · 05/12/2020 22:25

I was once given a lovely bag. Exactly the size and style I'd been after.

But in the ugliest yellowy/green.
