What age group - handbag

I’m just curious as to what age group you think this Earth Squared bag is aimed towards and whether you would buy it? It cost £45.99 new. I am late 30’s and feel it is aimed for someone 60+ so just curious for other opinions

I'm going to be 70 in 2 weeks.
I'd buy it for my 95 year old neighbour. Or I would, if she ever went out and therefore needed a handbag.
For myself - no!

I wasn’t aware that you had to be a certain age to qualify for a handbag.

If you like it, and if you can afford it, surely it’s for you?

I don’t normally comment on stuff like this because y’know, different strokes for different folks.

But, I cannot fathom who or why anyone would buy that bag. Is it designed for toddlers dressing up?

Thank you! I realised that I might have sounded a bit ageist in my first post which wasn’t my intention as I do think you can be 80,90 or 100 and still be a fashionista if that’s your thing. I’ not particularly into fashion myself. Just sort of go with what I like.

My friend of similar age was given it as a gift but it’s really not their style so it will never be used but they have guilt about selling or passing it on. I’m sure it will be to someone’s taste. We both thought it was a bit old fashioned for a thirty something. I do think fashion is subjective but I definitely think it gives a Delores Umbridge vibe so will let her know she shouldn’t feel guilty about giving it to someone else who’ll appreciate it!

It's bloody awful at whatever age you are but definitely not for anyone under the age of 104.

I don't think that bag is for an age, but for a particular look.

@dudsville yeah actually that’s a better way to think of it!
