Marc Jacobs Bag - keep or return?

Heyduggee123 · 26/03/2024 21:01

We’re on holiday in the states and I’ve gone slightly mad in one of those discount shopping malls. I got this bag about £150 less than what I’d pay in the UK (but I’d never ever buy a Marc Jacobs bag in the uk - I just don’t get the opportunity to shop)

anyway I keep looking at it and thinking that I should take it back and swap it for a more practical bag, this one gets my phone & keys in it but that’s about it.

I have 5 year old twins so not at all practical 😂

what do you think?

YABU - return it for something more sensible

YANBU - keep it it’s beautiful

Keep it you’ll love using it when you get the chance to go out.

Hankunamatata · 26/03/2024 21:18

If you can afford the bag keep it. If not return it

Heyduggee123 · 26/03/2024 21:21

We can afford it but I keep looking & thinking wow that’s not very practical 😂

If you love it, keep it. I still regret a khaki green leather bag that I didn't buy at a Christmas Market outside the UK, ten years ago. I buy a new kurt geiger every year and still regret one I didn't buy in the sale two years ago.

Love it !
Keep it and wear it to Tesco !

But it is. It's a cross body bag to keep your phone (payment methods, tickets etc) safe. While everything else is in a beachbag/shopper. Keep it in the dustbag, stored carefully and when life starts again, you've got a designer bag, in a neutral colour.

Return it, buy a nice cheaper bag and give the remainder of the money you can afford to spend to a food bank or homeless charity.

SD1978 · 26/03/2024 21:30

Keep it. There will be a point in your life when all you need to take out are your keys and a phone. If you love it, then that's enough. We deserve to buy ourselves nice things, I don't see why you'd have to be a martyr and return it for a food bank donation. Not everything has to be a race to piousness........ wear the bag, love the bag.

MrsKeats · 26/03/2024 21:31

I have a camera bag.
I use it a lot.

Heyduggee123 · 29/03/2024 15:39

just a little pointless update, I did take the bag back but only to swap it for a (in my opinion) a better, more versatile colour.

I also found a absolute bargain of a Kate Spade bag 🙊

I the colour choice!

Nothing wrong with impractical if it makes you happy.

Oh please stop.

It's beautiful OP! You deserve to treat yourself sometimes.

StormingNorman · 29/03/2024 15:56

Love it! Cross body bags can be really useful

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 29/03/2024 15:59

It’s really nice and I don’t like big logos. I’d use it.

I assume your user name is just a joke and in reality you have a raw potato and tap water and donate the difference to charity?

Another bag bore 🙄🙄🙄
Sod off and take your sanctimonious attitude with you.

I prefer the colour of the new bag OP 👍

As someone who has used food banks in the past and is very grateful for those able to donate.... this is fucking ridiculous 😂

So nobody should buy anything over £30 but just donate all disposable income to food banks 😂😂😂

Thank you, I do too! All my doubts & reservations have gone now that I’ve got the right colour.

my DC are nearly 5 and I haven’t had anything like this for myself for years and years so I’m going to try and enjoy it xx

I have 3 tiny phone bags and they are incredibly useful when you have a rucksack (for example) on and you can't be arsed to take the thing off and rummage for phone or keys. They also fit a passport in so useful for travelling. I pop the whole thing in the rucksack at a check in desk if it's only 1 piece of hand luggage allowed.

I need a slightly large one now to keep my kindle in as well now though.

GreatGateauxsby · 29/03/2024 16:06

New colour is chef’s kiss.

i also find this size bag pretty practical - enjoy!

XiCi · 29/03/2024 16:09

I have the black version and use it a lot. I dont take much out with me any more so love just having a small, light bag I can wear cross body and forget about. I'm sure you'll get loads of wear out of it. Love the new colour as well

Heyduggee123 · 29/03/2024 16:12

I think the new colour was cement mix xx
