To have splurged on a novelty Kate spade bag....

Bought this bag on a whim as I have a lifelong love of owls and when I saw it I couldn't resist it!

It's very different as you can see and I LOVE it...however I don't know if I'd have the bottle to wear it on the school run and errands....

What do we think ladies?

Awww, I think it's really cute!
I hate handbags so wouldn't buy it but it looks nice.

I love handbags, but they're a pain in the arse aren't they?

My owl has a shoulder strap 😃

Or. You need to go the full Iris Apfel - there's no half measures with a bag like that.

Fair play to her!

I love it! I have a bright yellow fluffy clutch bag from Cos that I bought last year. Most of my friends thought I was having some kind of episode when I bought it, but I absolutely flipping love it and it makes me so happy every time I use it. Everyone needs a few joyful things in their wardrobes.

Omg I love it!!

hattie43 · 18/11/2022 17:34

Aww it's great fun . Wear and enjoy it .

I like it, but my boyfriend describes my style as "weird aunt" so not sure I'm. The best judge 😁 I have a lovely owl necklace that would go with it. I'm not sure about the fluff on it is my only negative

The fluff is actually what tipped me over the edge and made me buy it! lol

It's so soft and snowy owl like, white with flecks of Grey in it. Very realistic although it is of course faux fur.

I wouldn’t buy it but I love that you did! Love Kate Spade- I’ve got my eye on the little ‘cracker’ one at the moment but I can’t justify it really. USE THE BAG!

Love the little cracker one!

It looks like something my 4 year old would whine at me for at the bootsale.

warmeduppizza · 18/11/2022 17:54

Good for you! Whatever makes you happy 😀

Ha...I was expecting comments like this.

I've been pleasantly surprised until now though!

Go for it!!!!!!

who cares what people think?!? Just be confident in how much YOU love it and others either won’t even care. Or will just get a vibe of how confident you are!

SalviaOfficinalis · 18/11/2022 17:58

There’s something about the owl’s grumpy expression that I find very endearing. Like it’s just read a mumsnet post it disagrees with and is about to crack out this gem Hmm

To be fair I'd would snatch up any Kate spade if I was lucky enough to see one at a "bootsale"....

It's great!

Acacia Avenue type of people are going to think it is something only a four year old should have but Country Casuals et al will provide for them, so we're all happy!

Topjoe19 · 18/11/2022 18:44

I love it! I'd think you were so fab if I saw you with that bag :)

heidbuttsupper · 18/11/2022 19:10

I have this one. Enjoy your bag OP

I am not a fan of novelty bags but actually really like that.

I love Kate Spade bags too. Well, I only have one which I bought second hand but the quality is fantastic.

ChristmasCwtch · 18/11/2022 19:18

Such an unattractive bag. It’s so weird 😂

What do you find unattractive about it?

I think it's beautiful!
