It's nice to be rich, I'm jealous 😥

I wish people would stop being so nasty to the OP. I don’t like champagne or oysters and I’m not really a handbag person but it’s obvious that the OP is spoiling herself/ being spoilt and the handbag is really pretty so good on her!!The picture made me smile. And I really hope she enjoys the rest of her holiday ( think it looks like a holiday pic)

Appleass · 17/02/2024 16:47

Sorry, but that is one ugly bag

ginandpizza · 17/02/2024 16:47

Ah I love the bag! Enjoy your trip OP

Moonpig82 · 17/02/2024 16:47

Oh it’s lovely OP! I wonder if Bicester might have some…need a tri0!

Don't you sound lovely. Good lord.

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 think any designer item with visible logos is tacky. I would not wear or carry anything with those interlocking Gs on. It is a matter of taste. The same reason I hate personalised numberplates. This is equally tacky. To me.

I sort of see what you're saying, but those Gs are very discreet, they aren't huge. I just love the way the colours go together, very springlike and made me smile.

100% I would wear it right now but I'm also carrying an oversized Alexa so it's a bit of an overkill

Is that right? Alexa works if you take it with you ? Well, every day’s a school day.

Oh, it’s a pretty coloured bag, too.

Exactly. It is so weird how people feel the need to tear someone down so viciously , it makes me wonder what they must be like in their own lives. Not anyone I'd like to know, that's for sure.

Why only designer items? Why not all items with visible logos?

I love how excited you are, OP! Enjoy your holiday!

Manopadmanaban · 17/02/2024 17:04

Looks hideous, such awful colours.

redboots765 · 17/02/2024 17:04

Yes it's tacky, but in a sad way. It's not a thing of beauty, the colours are garish. It was purchased as a status item..that's why it's sad. Op could have bought something stunning. Not pebbled leather.

InterIgnis · 17/02/2024 17:05

The ‘rich people don’t…’ always makes me laugh, as if rich people don’t do, or buy, whatever the fuck they want.

tickle62636262 · 17/02/2024 17:06

Lovely to see someone enjoying the finer things in life, you obviously really appreciate it! Enjoy your trip, have a lovely timeSmile

I agree. I don't like citing them because I don't really like them, but the Kardashians are an example of this. They are very wealthy and they all are very blingy.

I think she's talking about a Mulberry Alexa bag?

Bex268 · 17/02/2024 17:11

Love the bag and the colours - totally eccentric, cute and classy.

redboots765 · 17/02/2024 17:15

@InterIgnis

It means old money though doesn't it. Old money rarely spend on flashy things. My neighbour is stately home rich. (actual Manor House) I get invited to dinner parties, everyone looks like they are wearing clothes from two dacades ago 😂 You might see an old Mullberry bag, but you can guarantee it's 30 years old, and from a time when handbags were not such status symbols.
You will be served incredibly expensive wine, and the guests cars will be a mix of AM and straw filled VW.

Why only designer items? Why not all items with visible logos?

Yes I hate all visible logos. But the designer ones feel even more tacky as they seem to be more ‘show-offy’ due to the money spent.

I also used to hate hoodies and tops with the massive GAP logos. They were always left in the sale, so were clearly not that popular! My daughter loves Hollister clothes as they are soft and comfortable but she won’t buy anything with the logo visible. Who wants to advertise a shop?!

LuluBlakey1 · 17/02/2024 17:16

Yuck to oysters and bag- horrible colours and naff.

RiderofRohan · 17/02/2024 17:17

Don't you have real life friends you can brag to?

Fishbones1 · 17/02/2024 17:18

You only live once. Bloody enjoy, I say. Have a great time
