I also fell in love with my other Gucci bag at the same airport...

I think it looks really tacky but as long as you love it, that’s all that matters.

😂 that’s exactly the kind of thing my mother says!

Why do you have to share that you think it’s ‘tacky’? Why not just write the second half of the sentence?

LovelyTheresa · 17/02/2024 16:11

I also don't understand people who say that it looks 'tacky'. I would go so far as to say that opinion is actually factually incorrect. Obviously, taste is subjective, but words mean things and 'tacky' means cheap looking and vulgar. Even if you don't care for the colours, what is vulgar about the bag?

I'm 45 thanks for asking. Do you always take things so literally, like a toddler? I should be asking your age really.

You literally said I'd swap places based on a photo of a handbag and champagne. How else could anyone take that

Minniliscious · 17/02/2024 16:15

I’m just jealous of the champagne 🥂🍾 and the airport.

Enjoy your hols! What a great way to start them ….

SheepAndSword · 17/02/2024 16:16

OP seems happy though which is all that matters.

I love oysters but haven't eaten them since a bad one!

But can you fit a toy car/small doll, a hairband, 2 packets of tissues, a half eaten box of raisins, a large bunch of keys, a beanie hat, a dogs lead, poo bags, a Center Parks brochure, a large filofax, swimming goggles, a spare pair of knickers and a banana in it OP?

I know, right? I swear that I could actually use a weekend bag for a purse and still be wishing it was bigger. Right now I am using a VB tote bag as my purse. For Mother's Day last year, my DD and DGD got me a tiny little purse. I love it for going out to eat or "somewhere" that has a finite time limit. They had hoped it would be my new everyday purse. It barely fits my wallet, tissues, phone and gum, let alone my Tums, headache medicine, maxi pad, dental picks, keys, pen, notebook, reading glasses, sunglasses, lip balm, lipstick, mini scissors, tape measure and the other detritus I gather each day. 😳

I absolutely love it! Practical? No. But it's not meant to be. It's meant to be a pretty bag.

I don't actually like lilac usually but I would absolutely buy that (if I had the money!).

Are you showing off? Maybe! But there's nothing wrong with a bit of showing off if you're happy or proud, as long as you're not being horrible or unkind with it - and you're not.

Have a lovely holiday, enjoy the champagne and bag.

Ps the oysters are a risky choice before a flight 😱

Talk about a passive-aggressive backhanded compliment Grin

ZebraPensAreLife · 17/02/2024 12:49

I didn’t know anyone actually used those ridiculous oyster bars at airports - always wondered why on earth they were there!

I can’t even imagine the food poisoning mid flight

I might also say to someone going on holiday "is there room for me in your suitcase " obviously I obviously don't want or expect them to squash me in there with their bikinis and suncream! I can't believe I'm actually explaining this to another adult. Ludicrous.😂

Never seen such a money screams wealth whispers post.

Yes, of course the bag she loves just had to be a Gucci and just had to be photographed next to oysters and champagne 😂😂😂

EmergentTulip · 17/02/2024 16:30

It's so beautiful, definitely think you picked the best colour.

SomeCatFromJapan · 17/02/2024 16:31

If everyone stopped spending the economy would get worse, so thank you for your efforts OP!

It's a very understated bag in a lovely spring colour. Not much you could be offended by by you manage to be 🙄

Do we have the same mother?! Mine can't give a compliment or say sorry. Now she wonders why her children have distanced themselves and she doesnt have many friends!

MidnightsLover · 17/02/2024 16:34

holy bannanas that is so beautiful I LOVE that shade of purple

geoger · 17/02/2024 16:34

Lovely bag OP and the spring colours will look fab once the weather brightens up

Blimey. As in ‘cor, I’d love to be at the airport, sipping champers, eating oysters, enjoying my new bag and about to fly to the SW of the USA’.

Really not that tricky to work out.

EeesandWhizz · 17/02/2024 16:36

I am pleased that you love your new bag, however I am slightly concerned with your decision to fill it with oysters and champagne.

The American SW, and yes it is a "spring" bag.

The bag (and particularly the coulour scheme) actually does scream American South (West) to me 😂 or at least Texas and Utah!

If you combine this with a colourful sundress and you’d have yourself a perfect church / temple outfit.

the colour scheme isn’t my cup of tea but it is adorable! Have fun with it 😉
