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’ve disabled voting- hope that works

I’d think it would hurt your shoulder on your commute and would wonder if a laptop would fit.

murbblurb · 16/04/2021 15:10

My jaw would drop if I found out how much you paid for it as all handbags look like they come off market stalls - but otherwise, I'd just think 'arm clutter' or not notice at all.

TakeYourFinalPosition · 16/04/2021 15:10

I don't think I'd notice it.

I thought this was going to be a massive bag with a really bold pattern, although even then, I'd probably notice it and not really think about it... but that's a perfectly non-descript bag.

The most offensive thing about it is the price!

It's a pretty standard bag for anywhere I've worked, albeit expensive.

katy1213 · 16/04/2021 15:10

I'd think you got it from TKMaxx - but why would you care what people think of your bag? Why would people even have an opinion? Do you work at Vogue?

ZaraW · 16/04/2021 15:10

I really like it.

An0n0n0n · 16/04/2021 15:10

It's nice enough. I'd probably tell you i like it.

ipushmyfingersintomyeyes · 16/04/2021 15:11

Literally would not even notice. Standard looking bag surely?

Sparkletastic · 16/04/2021 15:11

It's ok. Straps are a bit naff. Doesn't look like it costs as much as it does. Any others you are considering OP?

MotherOfGodWeeFella · 16/04/2021 15:11

I thought it was going to be something with a huge sweary slogan on it! It's just a bag. I don't pay any attention to the bags my colleagues have.

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 16/04/2021 15:11

Honestly?

I'd think 'QVC must have had a special offer, as surely nobody would be daft enough to pay out that much for a bag that ugly'

IndigoSkye · 16/04/2021 15:12

I would, I love your bag, where did you get it. I think unless it has an inappropriate slogan on I can't imagine a bag I wouldn't take to the office if I wanted to.

HollowTalk · 16/04/2021 15:13

I'd think, "I wonder whose bright idea it was to put those blue stripes on it? They should be fired."

Inapanini · 16/04/2021 15:13

I’d think why are you using an affiliate link to direct people to this website? Seems like a shady way to try and earn some cash off any mumsnet users who might purchase something off Kate Spade in the next month...

QuietBatPeople1 · 16/04/2021 15:16

@Inapanini so this is how conspiracy theories are made!! Some vivid imagination

OP posts:
TakeYourFinalPosition · 16/04/2021 15:17

@Inapanini That doesn't look like an affiliate link? There's no identifier...

QuietBatPeople1 · 16/04/2021 15:18

I just wanted a second opinion- not saying I live my life based on what integer think but we all have been cooped up indoors for long and I’m not sure if my tastes have been a bit stuck and not updated.
I don’t particularly like it but wanted to go for something different

OP posts:
Uniquerandomer · 16/04/2021 15:18

I’d think you’ve stolen it from your granny!

Allwokedup · 16/04/2021 15:18

I wouldn’t think anything. Why do you care what people think?

Inapanini · 16/04/2021 15:18

It literally says LinkSynergy when you open the link, no conspiracies here :)

radiateforme · 16/04/2021 15:19

Average looking bag. Probably wouldn't even notice.

FranklinTennessee · 16/04/2021 15:19

If I knew it was Kate Spade, I’d think about the ethics. And that it looks like something from Asda.

QuietBatPeople1 · 16/04/2021 15:20

For the people who say I don’t notice/care - I usually do and always compliment. We all have bad days bike it with it otherwise if my saying ‘ oh you look really nice in that dress’ or ‘ like your taste in bags’ brightens someone’s day (or even that minute) why not?

Yeah but if you walked in with that on your arm and I said 'nice bag' I'd be lying
Bungalowlady · 16/04/2021 15:21

Granny bag Grin

Pomped · 16/04/2021 15:21

I like it - not quite sure I’d buy it myself as I’m not one for patterns but I would complement you on it and it certainly wouldn’t ‘offend’ me!
