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

Stroke your lovely new handbag

this sounds like something you should only do at home. Alone.

Idtotallybangdreamoftheendlessnotgonnalie · 17/02/2024 15:12

Oh there's some salty cunts on this thread 🤣

Let people enjoy things!

I think mumsnet should have a separate section for “Cringe Bragging”

Its too small OP, a bit too tacky. LV or Chanel are out of your price range I assume? Why would you buy this and post on mumsnet!?

Are you not embarrassed for yourself reading this?

You and the other vinegar-tits are coming across really badly.

AND! I am going to Dubai in April and I will post a bag as well to give you even more of the vapours. So there!

Not sure anyone has the vapours

But if it makes you feel good, go for it

DistingusedSocialCommentator · 17/02/2024 15:13

nice bag but the colour is not and it won't go with many things.

VoleChomper · 17/02/2024 15:14

People are supposed to be ashamed that Chanel or LV are out of their price range?

Wot a cunty sentiment.

ilovesushi · 17/02/2024 15:14

Good for you! Enjoy!

GordoStevensMustache · 17/02/2024 15:07

Miaow! So much envy on this thread 🤣

No, just pointing out that OP got a bargain, it seems relatively cheap though it may be very small. Though if it had been posted in the right section it could have been discussed properly

Hey! I’m an Essex girl…. Well I’ve only acquired residency through living here but my dd is born and raised!

It’ll be a bit of a let down if the OP was posting from Stansted and not a more cosmopolitan airport. Like Luton.

I'm an honorary Essex girl with kids born and raised here too 😉

I really hope you're joking about Luton though 😆

Georgieporgie29 · 17/02/2024 15:15

Well I think it’s beautiful op. Enjoy your bag and your holiday.

MacaroonMacaron · 17/02/2024 15:16

It's a bit "1980s throwback colour scheme" for my tastes. And a bit wee to put all the junk that I carry around in. I am not impressed by bags in any way, shape or form and i can think of 1001 things I'd rather spend my money on than a bag. People with designer bags might be signalling their wealth but goes right over my head as I'm so not interested. I volunteer in a charity shop and see a lot of fake bags, my starting point for a "designer bag" is that it's probably fake.

notprincehamlet · 17/02/2024 15:16

Something very pretty to throw up in if the airport seafood doesn't end well Grin

yumyum33 · 17/02/2024 15:16

Not my taste at all.

MacaroonMacaron · 17/02/2024 15:17

I do like champagne and seafood of all types though, so would happily join you in a glass and oyster or two. As long as you don't expect me to oooh and aaah over a bag.

MadamVastra · 17/02/2024 15:17

@User5512

that was over the top and unnecessary

Differentstarts · 17/02/2024 15:18

Wellhellooooodear · 17/02/2024 14:53

Why? OPs not embarrassed, she's living it up with champagne and oysters and a new Gucci bag. Good for her, I'd swap places.

You know nothing about her what do you mean you would swap places with her based on one photo. How old are you ?

ShippingForecastMeditator · 17/02/2024 15:20

Well I'm not into bags at all (use pockets) but I'm loving your excitement about your new purchase and airport treats. Enjoy OP!

You and the other vinegar-tits are coming across really badly.

Yet they are, at least, fleshing out an otherwise incredibly dull thread.

if you want post after post discussing the merits of a random handbag that’s what S&B is for. As has already been pointed out. Let’s just say posters in AIBU aren’t usually in the right headspace for being happy for people because they’ve just spunked an obscene amount of money on a holiday, shellfish and a bag. A Quick Look at the thread titles tells you that.

badhappenings · 17/02/2024 14:49

Ignore the bitter posters.

What's bitter about not fawning over a typical FB "checked in. And breathe. #blessed" type post

I'm not bitter. Or jealous. Or a hater.

I just don't see what the OP is either NBU or BU about

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

Then they don’t have to click on the thread or engage with it, so they?

Being in a tough position doesn’t give someone the right to dictate what others talk about.

InterIgnis · 17/02/2024 15:26

Good for you, OP! It’s bright and fun, enjoy your holiday and your new bag.

Is that Wicket?? I love it! Our dog is named Chewie :)

It is Wicket, in a snow globe with a candy cane strap no less.

Prawncow · 17/02/2024 15:26

You still get the ‘I only have one bag at a time and I never spend more than £20 on them’ people coming onto handbag threads in S+B. You also get the Chanel gang with their beautiful collections. I’ve never seen pics of handbags with seafood before though.

First of all, @ShowOfHands and @ghostyslovesheets , I LOVE both your mugs and would love to know where you got them. Ghosty’s mug would make a great birthday present for a friend.

Secondly, @Cuppachuchu , I hope you love your £89 bag just as much as OP loves her bag. One is not inherently better than the other; your bag is (I hope) one you love that is suited to you. Despite some very unkind comments, if OP loves this bag, it must be suited to her. The world is wide enough for all of us to have a wide range of opinions.

Yes, we can all have a bit of a poke at OP fitting the oysters and champagne in the shot, sure, it’s a bit unnecessary and funny, but I find the funniest comments about it are other people showing their bags, cups, and snacks, not people being atrocious about it.
