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

@Woodpecker22

Are you male or female?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 What about all the other genders? Could even be a pineapple
Isaidnope · 16/04/2021 16:45

It’s just a bag, I wouldn’t really think much.

LadyIsabellaWrotham · 16/04/2021 16:46

No Joe, nobody actually spends £350 on a bag. Coach, Kate Spade, Mulberry, Aspinal, Prada and Gucci are figments of Vogue’s imagination - it’s a gigantic prank and the shops in Bond Street are an art project.

Gwenhwyfar · 16/04/2021 16:47

I wouldn't think anything unless I knew the cost and then I'd think you'd been had.
If you live in a big city, I'd be worried that it looks like you can't zip it closed as that will help pick pockets.
Otherwise, not much to comment on.

@DishingOutDone

I’d like it very much, then think “ we’re clearly paying her too much ... “ and then I’d hate you for your show off bag. So there.

Tanfastic · 16/04/2021 16:48

I'd prob think... I don't like that bag Confused

HarebrightCedarmoon · 16/04/2021 16:48

No-one would bat an eyelid about any bag I came in with.

If I were the boss and I knew how much it cost, I'd think the employee is being paid too much. 😁

What? Confused Nobody doubts that it's possible to spend vast amounts on a bag. They're Hmm at anyone spending £350 on that bag
IslaMann · 16/04/2021 16:51

I'd think my granny would love that. Then I'd Google and think 350 notes, money don't buy class.

A while ago OP, I posted a bag on s&b, it was exactly what I needed, a roomy backpack for work, with two handles at the top. It was slated by 90%!. It was less than #150 but posters acted like I was buying a chanel flap while my children went without food. I had to smile at the over reactions. I hesitated too long and it was out of stock then.

From Kate Spade I like the backpack with the handles this one

Tempted but it's a bit too small.

I was answering a PP’s specific question “do people actually spend £350 on a bag?” but the thread moved so fast that my answer was separated. Should have quoted.

Moonwatcher1234 · 16/04/2021 16:54

I would think it’s a gorgeous quirky bag...but then I love handbags. I’d definitely appreciate it!

Oh, sorry.
Ohhelpmetoo · 16/04/2021 17:00

I couldn’t wait to spend my first weeks wages on a bag as I’d never had one . 50 years later I still haven’t found the perfect bag but am still looking . If I like a bag( or anything else ) and can afford it I don’t really care about anyone’s opinion. If you like it , buy it and enjoy owning it !

VettiyaIruken · 16/04/2021 17:01

I don't care about bags so wouldn't think anything unless you hit me with it.
Then I'd think you're a twat.

SanFrancisco49er · 16/04/2021 17:04

Kate Spade are probably wondering why on earth this bag has had over six and a half thousand views and no sales today.

toolazytothinkofausername · 16/04/2021 17:05

I could never buy the Kate Spade brand after her suicide.

LakieLady · 16/04/2021 17:07

I'm not keen on fabric bags, I always think they look cheap. So that's what I'd think initially.

Once I'd spotted the tag, I'd think "She's got more money than sense, that bag looks like something you could pick up in Matalan but it must have cost at least £300".

Still, what do I know. I've been using the same Radley bag practically every day for 10 years, I swear the thing's indestructible.

SneezyGonzalez · 16/04/2021 17:10

Is this some kind of sneaky marketing on behalf of Kate Spade? 🙄

NoIDontWatchLoveIsland · 16/04/2021 17:11

I'd think

Go and market elsewhere Hmm

Reported thread... your link is full of UTM trackers....

SpringtimeSummertime · 16/04/2021 17:11

@Foolintherain

I'd think ,oh yes, Primark is open again, must pop in for some new knickers
Meow! (TBF, it's not a pretty bag).
SissySpacekAteMyHamster · 16/04/2021 17:13

I might notice the bag, but I wouldn't really have anything to say about it. Not one I'd want for myself, but not a horrible bag.

Really? I don't think people who spend money on decor, cars, trumpet lessons for their dc are ''twats''.

I can't believe how judgmental people claim to be on here. Can they really be as bad as they make themselves out to be.

VettiyaIruken · 16/04/2021 17:14

I don't think you read my post properly 🤣🤣

serin · 16/04/2021 17:15

@SneezyGonzalez Grin I thought that too, but if this is a marketing ploy it doesn't seem to be working.
