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?

Affiliate link - fuck off OP, try harder.

UCOforAC12 · 16/04/2021 19:44

I like the Kate Spade one and the Coach one. The yellow one is a bit loud.

I know nothing about bags and do not judge people for the brand because they don't mean anything to me. But I say 'nice bag' if I like the bag and I'd say that for one and three.

CaptainMyCaptain · 16/04/2021 19:44

I wouldn't really notice it. £350 though!!!

Howzaboutye · 16/04/2021 19:47

Havelock how do you tell that it is an affiliate link?

MakingPlans21 · 16/04/2021 19:48

Quite honestly, I would think it wasn’t very nice but would not tell you and anyway it doesn’t matter what others think. If you really like the bag and can afford it, buy it. Make sure it matches a lot of your clothes (there’s a reason so many bags are black!)

PrelovedWithValue · 16/04/2021 19:48

It's not an affiliate link.

Profiterolegirl · 16/04/2021 19:49

I don't notice what bags people have. I do like getting a nice bag but just don't notice what bags others own. So I wouldn't think anything.

MaryShelley1818 · 16/04/2021 19:50

It's not my taste so I probably wouldn't even notice it.

Vetyveriohohoh · 16/04/2021 19:50

Bit casual and mumsy- wouldn’t give it a second though

beginningoftheend · 16/04/2021 19:55

grr hate the word mumsy, meaningless word just intended to put women down.

@korawick12345

I don't think it is the type of bag that would really elicit a response from me. It's surely just a fairly standard work type bag unless you work somewhere very very conservative where everyone has a traditional briefcase. If you told me what it cost I would think you had been robbed as it certainly doesn't look as expensive as it is.
This with spades on 😂
RosesAndHellebores · 16/04/2021 19:57

I like the medium one in the alternative colourway and also like the Coach one if a similar size in a beige tan. Not for work though. For work I have a wheeled lap-top bag and use a very small crossover for wallet, keys, phones, etc.

OverByYer · 16/04/2021 20:01

Looks like something my nan would have had

Hoorayforsunshine · 16/04/2021 20:04

The shape reminds me of the LV bag - can’t remember the name. The fit everything in bag with no internal compartments.

Don’t love the KS one linked but just personal preference. Easy for stuff to get nicked from it on the tube though. And would it hold shape filled with bits?

Tiggeri · 16/04/2021 20:16

How much???

Tiggeri · 16/04/2021 20:16
Shock
Hesma · 16/04/2021 20:17

Quite casual... definitely not professional enough for a client facing role. Nice enough though

whoamitojudge · 16/04/2021 20:25

Sorry but it’s a no from me

KarensChoppyBob · 16/04/2021 20:27

Accessories don't really excite me that much, don't really get the fuss and £££ spent on shoes and bags, jewellery even.

So unless it was plonked in my eyeline during a meeting I most likely wouldn't even notice.
I would notice if you were wearing a classy understated outfit though ...

Meh, we're all different 🤷🏻‍♀️.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 16/04/2021 21:28

I love it.

Vetyveriohohoh · 16/04/2021 21:50

Sorry to offend you...
I’ll rephrase ‘casual, dowdy, unfashionable’, like a step up from Easley and Cath kidson - that better?

Vetyveriohohoh · 16/04/2021 21:50

Ffs Radley and cath kidson

Planty13 · 16/04/2021 21:54

I think it’s a nice bag...

I wouldn’t really notice it at work

PurpleFlower1983 · 16/04/2021 22:01

I’m surprised how many people are shocked at the price. I thought Mumsnet was full of Mulberry carriers?

No one is shocked of a bag of that price Everyone is shocked that that bag is that price
