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

I’ve disabled voting- hope that works

@toolazytothinkofausername

I could never buy the Kate Spade brand after her suicide.
Do you mean that suicide tarnishes the perceived desirability of the brand? I think I feel that too. Not sure. Hard to put in to words.

What's a UTM?

[quote QuietBatPeople1]@Isthereaduckinthehouse I have something similar to this

This is so much nicer than the Kate Spade bag you linked in your first post!

GreyhoundG1rl · 16/04/2021 17:17

Bless you, Selkie...

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 16/04/2021 17:20

I would think it was an ugly bag if i did indeed notice it.

beginningoftheend · 16/04/2021 17:20

[quote serin]@SneezyGonzalez Grin I thought that too, but if this is a marketing ploy it doesn't seem to be working.[/quote]
no such thing as bad publicity perhaps not always true?

flippertygibbit · 16/04/2021 17:22

Meh, it's a bag - wouldn't notice it tbh.

TheThingsWeAdmitOnMN · 16/04/2021 17:23

[quote QuietBatPeople1]@Zachary321 that’s a nice bag![/quote]
Are you actually serious? It's so hard to tell sometimes on here!

@YellowFish1647

I’d call security - you don’t work for my employer and have no authorisation to be on the premises.

QuietBatPeople1 · 16/04/2021 17:25

@NoIDontWatchLoveIsland huh?

All I did was copy the link to the bag- not sure about anything else you are talking about??

Why are people so high strung in here?

I'd be madly jealous - I love it!

thinkingaboutLangCleg · 16/04/2021 17:30

I like the look of it but I'm not sure how big it is. I don't buy large bags any more because I always stuff them so full I can hardly pick them up, and they end up looking scruffy. (Yes, I should learn not to. But I don't.)

Wouldn't pay £350 for any bag. But if it's perfect for you and you can afford it after months of tediously saving money because there was nowhere open to spend money then go for it, and enjoy it.

FireflyRainbow · 16/04/2021 17:32

It makes me think of Dolores umbridge from Harry Potter. Can see her with it.

NoIDontWatchLoveIsland · 16/04/2021 17:38

OPs link, copied and pasted, actually
includes a little bit of code enabling her or presumably the ad agency age works for to track people clicking it. It's a way to evidence how a marketing campaign is working. I'm not the first poster to spot it either, it's not rocket science.

You have all merrily clicked away for her.

Even without that this whole thread is clearly a nice little ad for the bag, or a bit of market research on how the typical mumsnet user responds to it.

Caramelsmadfuzzytail · 16/04/2021 17:39

My child says its ugly.
I say thank fuck I have a coat with lots of pockets.

NoIDontWatchLoveIsland · 16/04/2021 17:39

Ps OP, not "high strung", dear. Bored of this shite, there's ever more of it on here. Strip out the troll threads, the not so subtle marketing and the stuff mnhq deletes and there's fuck all left.

Hmm
TaraR2020 · 16/04/2021 17:42

I think the Kate spade bag is beautiful op and I'd both notice and compliment you on it.

I wouldn't spend anywhere near that much on something I didnt like though!! But then, I only buy things I like or need, otherwise its a waste.

susiebluebell · 16/04/2021 17:42

I like it a lot!

theladylovescupcakes · 16/04/2021 17:43

I like it! I was eyeing it up on the website recently 👍👍

QuietBatPeople1 · 16/04/2021 17:47

@theladylovescupcakes ohh are you on the lookout for a new work bag as well?

Or a marketing troll like as as some clearly are pointing out!!
uk.coach.com/coach-charlie-carryall-40/52547.html?dwvar_color=SV%2FSL&index=-1#start=42

This is nice but the blue is sold out and I really don’t want brown, black, navy as they are quite dark and dull

Nice bag but wow expensive

PattyPan · 16/04/2021 17:50

@wesowereonabreak I think it’s the print - everyone where I work mostly nerds tbf either uses a backpack or some kind of plain bag. Even when I’m on the tube the kinds of bag I see people carrying tends to be plain in terms of pattern even they aren’t plain coloured (like different coloured Mulberry or Longchamp bags). So it would seem gaudy next to one of those?
