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 don't personally like it but I wouldn't think anything about someone carrying it. Would just assume they like the bag

@arethereanyleftatall

I didn't click the link because my opinion would be the same completely regardless of what the bag looks like. Zero opinion.
That has been really useful to know. I'm sure that the OP is delighted with that contribution.

Agree with @balloonsintrees if you like it and it make you happy then go for it.

Your choice of bag Is quite demure compared to mine. I go to the office wearing my multicolored bag. I've had people say it nice, some just look and say nothing. But I couldn't really care whether people like it or if they think it's from primark or the market. It makes me happy and confident.

@Zachary321 that’s a nice bag!

Oh now, this is gorgeous. Why have you started this thread OP. I'm not enviously coveting bags I can't afford!

I like this. But I'm sure I've seen it TKMaxx

Op asked what people would think when she walked into the office with her bag, and most people replied that they wouldn't think much at all, would barely notice 🤷🏻‍♀️
Depends on your understanding of "useful", I suppose.
I think it hits the mark very well. Or do you define "useful information" as only that which you wish to hear?

DinkyDaisy · 16/04/2021 16:13

Goodness. I am not a bag person though was given a lovely carpet bag once that I used til it wore out.
I have no style though and don't work in an office [School].
I tend to have bag for lifes from Poundland!
Easter bunny one ought to be put away now....
I read 35 pounds and thought expensive.However, think we have established my view not really relevant!

arethereanyleftatall · 16/04/2021 16:13

@Isthereaduckinthehouse
It is precisely what the op asked. 'What is everyone's opinion on this bag.' That's my opinion. The op didn't ask - 'if you have any interest at all, what do you think of this bag?' (Which possibly she should have done). She asked - what is everyone's opinion on this bag. And, she has thus learned, most people can't care less.

It's hardly adding anything to the thread is it?
GreyhoundG1rl · 16/04/2021 16:15

It has answered the op's question. Exactly that. Probably more concisely and usefully than you have 🤣🤣🤣

Butchyrestingface · 16/04/2021 16:16

I'd think Primark must have run out of material and stitched that panel down the middle hoping nobody would notice. 🤷‍♀️

(Is that not what happened?)

VolvoMom · 16/04/2021 16:16

Hmmm...nice bag... wonder where she got it from. Oh actually it's Katie Spade I don't earn enough.

Chamonixshoopshoop · 16/04/2021 16:16

The shoulder straps look thin and uncomfortable, with such a large area to hold stuff in, it could get very uncomfortable and heavy.
It looks nice though! The design is lovely.

emmathedilemma · 16/04/2021 16:17

I wouldn't bat an eyelid, it's just a big handbag!

BlackBucketOfCheese · 16/04/2021 16:17

I wouldn’t really notice it but if you asked my opinion of it, I’d say it looks a tad 2009.

Gobbeldegook · 16/04/2021 16:17

I'd think you were braggy as fuck. Like I do now 🤣

2bazookas · 16/04/2021 16:18

I'd think "ugly".

AColdDuncanGoodhew · 16/04/2021 16:19

Great bag! Love KS

blissfulllife · 16/04/2021 16:19

Stealth boast if ever I saw one lol

Natsel84 · 16/04/2021 16:20

I really like it . But I wouldn't pay that price tag. It reminds me of a bag I would see in river island so at the most would pay about £50

LaCerbiatta · 16/04/2021 16:20

I would tell you to move this chat to Style&Beauty where posters are nice and helpful 😉

Personally I would think nice bag but doesn't go with everything. Great with jeans and a white shirt though.

And I wouldnt think too £££ because I would assume you wouldn't come with price tag showing....

ToffeePennie · 16/04/2021 16:20

I wouldn’t notice it.

BigMamaFratelli · 16/04/2021 16:20

I love it. If you like it, go for it.

Isthereaduckinthehouse · 16/04/2021 16:21

www.yoox.com/uk/45568799TN/item#dept=bagsaccwomenna&sts=sr_bagsaccwomenna80 I like this one, though I prefer handles for my shoulder rather than a hand bag. It's similar in style to the one I have. Nondescript but functional.

www.yoox.com/uk/women/bags%20&%20accessories%20new%20arrivals/shoponline#/dept=bagsaccwomenna&gender=D&page=2&size=5&pricemax=450&pricemin=250&season=X I'm actually seriously considering buying this one!
