If I walked into your office carrying this bag

What would your first thought be? Too loud? Too big? Great bag to fit everything in?

I wouldn’t think much of it either way unless I knew that you’d spent £350 on it, then I’d think you were nuts. So, so many beautiful bags available for that price.

imalmostthere · 16/04/2021 19:03

I wouldn't notice it, wouldn't turn my head and I wouldn't pay that for it for sure. Not a fan x

Cliff1975 · 16/04/2021 19:04

Beautiful bag very stylish

TillyTopper · 16/04/2021 19:08

Ooh love that! I don't think it's too loud at all.

FurrySlipperBoots · 16/04/2021 19:09

I highly doubt I'd notice it at all, because, well, it's someone else's bag! Does anyone actually ever notice what other people are wearing or what accessories they have? Unless it was turquoise spandex hotpants or something I wouldn't take up brain space with it - there's not enough room in there for the important stuff as it is!

B33Fr33 · 16/04/2021 19:10

Granny bag. Not my taste at all. But if think there's a person who probably has a safety pin/ paracetemol/ snacks and maybe even a bible on the go.

Derbee · 16/04/2021 19:17

I wouldn’t notice. But having bought Kate Spade before, the quality is absolutely shite. Not worth the money at all

Parkerwhereareyou · 16/04/2021 19:18

I prefer the pink and green one.

If you had the pink and green one, I'd think, omg, such a nice bag. And kind of bold. And I'd think you were cool.

If the blue one I'd think hm.. Making a bit of a statement but it isn't particularly nice. It might put me off you.

(sorry - just honest opinion!)

SamMil · 16/04/2021 19:21

I'd call for your resignation immediately!

But really... I've never paid any attention to which bags my colleagues carry into the office and really couldnt care less. Do you remember any of your colleague's specific bags..?

GreyhoundG1rl · 16/04/2021 19:23

It might put me off you.
Who knew the influence a bag could wield?

Ridgere · 16/04/2021 19:27

If I walked into your office carrying this bag... What would your first thought be?

My first thought would be who the hell is this woman and what is she doing in my office?

Maddison12 · 16/04/2021 19:30

I understand where the 'conspiracy theories' come from as that bag has been viewed 12000 times today (presumably because if this thread) so I'm thinking mn must be a great place to covertly sell thingsGrin

Howzaboutye · 16/04/2021 19:30

I'd say I love your Kate Spade bag, nice choice

KatherineJaneway · 16/04/2021 19:32

I'd think you were flashing your cash.

Why in gods name would I care about the bag of a work colleague??

HOkieCOkie · 16/04/2021 19:36

I love it! Can’t decide which colour I want it in haha

wesowereonabreak · 16/04/2021 19:37

@KatherineJaneway

I wouldn't even think that. So many sample sales, second hand opportunities, bag rental company even.. You can never guess how much anyone spent on anything these days.
toocold54 · 16/04/2021 19:37

I think anyone who’d spend £350 on a bag is a complete idiot, regardless of how much they earn!

how depressing to think like that.
tiredmum2468 · 16/04/2021 19:38

It's overpriced and nothing to get excited about you could buy something like that a lot cheaper but the design etc is fairly standard nothing flashy.

Do you mean as your main handbag or as a bigger bag to put bits like a water bottle etc in?

PurpleFlower1983 · 16/04/2021 19:40

Beach bag would be my first thought!

Jolie12345 · 16/04/2021 19:40

I’d think it’s an awesome bag and take a mental note to google it later! Smile

Hallyup5 · 16/04/2021 19:41

It's a bag. If I knew how much it cost, I'd think you were insane.

accentdusoleil · 16/04/2021 19:42

Didn't know Mary Poppins worked here.
