he he, good one narky!!

if i had the money, maybe i would, but spend it all buying bones obviously!

Remotew · 26/08/2008 20:16

Nice bag, wouldn't have known it was so expensive if I tripped over it and it hit me in the face. I really should take more notice and maybe I will now. We should all look out for a woman with an obscene, expensive handback pushing a battered stripped buggy from Woolworths.

Remotew · 26/08/2008 20:17

handback! handbag of course.

MrsMattie · 26/08/2008 20:18

Handbag better investment than overpriced shit-wagon travel system.

Buy a cheapie McClaren and the bag!

MuthaHubbard · 26/08/2008 20:20

mind you, to be fair, i wouldn't know said pushchair you speak of if i fell over it either.

pamelat · 26/08/2008 20:20

I regret our £600 Jane Pro pushchair ..... wish I had bought a handbag!

narkymum · 26/08/2008 20:24

Will be fashioning a pushchair out of rags and old bike wheels, and they will be gratful.
Mummies need nice things.

Makes up for saggy tits and a pelvic floor like old knicker elastic.

ditto@pamelat.

£500 odd for our Jane Matrix Bolloxy thing and I used it for 3 months - hated the bastard. If I'd have bought a Chloe bag I'm sure I would still be swooning over it now, some 3 years later

Tittybangbang · 26/08/2008 20:38

When I see a picture in a magazine of a woman with a £500/£1000 bag I think - you loser. You can get a gorgeous, gorgeous bag for under £100 and the only reason to spend 5 times that is because having something that's cost a ludicrous amount of money makes you feel like a more special person. When you ain't. You're just a label junky.

If you've got that much money to spunk on fripperies, why not next time spend £30 on a bag in M&S instead and send the rest to AIDS orphans in Africa. The glow will last longer.

sandy4 · 26/08/2008 20:39

Anyway, I don't get it ... if you have to choose, doesn't that mean you can't afford it ???!

Tittybangbang · 26/08/2008 20:40

Oh - and you can get a cracking buggy for under £200 if you're prepared to buy second hand.

MrsMattie · 26/08/2008 20:42

Wooooahhhhh!@Tittybangbnag

Remotew · 26/08/2008 20:43

My last bag I bought was £6.99 from Internationale. It's been admired a few times, its really nice, I love it.

expatinscotland · 26/08/2008 20:47

Hmm, that's a nice bag.

Can you maybe buy a cheaper pushchair?

mamadiva · 26/08/2008 20:47

Seriously can't you think of a better way to spend your money? You don't need a £600 pushchair and certainly not a £600 bloody bag which quite frankly looks like it fell off a Tesco sale rail! Then again I'd have bought it then LOL

I had a £500 Emmaljunga Cerox bought for me and I loved it BUT my DS is 2 and now on his 3rd pushchair as he grew out of the Emmaljunga at around a year and a half but he is big. I wish I'd have gone for a good 3 wheeler to start with or a M&P with carry cot.

mamadiva · 26/08/2008 20:48

Oh and if anyone wants it you can have my Emmaljunga for £120 if you arrange courier LOL.

Snaf · 26/08/2008 20:49

Mmmm @ Chloe bag (although the Edith is nicer, imo).

If you have the money, go for it. The child will grow out of the buggy within a year or so, while the gorgeous bag will last forever and make you happy every time you look at it.

PLus, if you have daughters, in 30 years time they will appreciate being handed down a gorgeous, classic bag than a skanky, by-then-unfashionable buggy.

Everyone's a winner!

Remotew · 26/08/2008 20:49

Buggys, the cheaper lighter the better. Easy to fold is good but obviously it has to be comfy for the baby.

sandy4 · 26/08/2008 20:54

Bags go out of fashion & this one already has, why else would ASOS be allowed to sell it?

Tittybangbang · 26/08/2008 20:56

Sorry - but I think the very existence of £500 handbags is a sign that as a society we're getting a bit too Sodem and Gomorrah'ish for comfort.

MrsMattie · 26/08/2008 20:59

The existence of £500 buggies says a lot, too

At least handbags last for ages and ages. Buggies are disposable. I snigger at people who buy designer buggies.

I know I'm a horrible person.

Tittybangbang · 26/08/2008 21:00

In 30 years time £300 bag at say, 6% annual compound interest would have grown to...... oh - I don't know, but I'm sure any daughter would far rather have a large wodge of cash than what will be by then a skanky old lady's bag.

Tittybangbang · 26/08/2008 21:03

You're not horrible MrsMattie. Well you are, but no more horrible than me.

I sat drinking coffee in Dulwich park last week sniggering at the constant parade of buggaboos in hideous colours as they went past me.
