The accessories are already reduced, I put in our favourite spend £30 get £10 off code and it came to £21 instead of £40 so, thats a bargain in my book. Perfect for work.

Mine arrived on Saturday - brown satchel. Not sure about it, dh thinks its hideous Hmm but dd (12) snaffled it and carried it round town. Its currently lying on the hall floor. Can't make my mind up if the blue would have been better.

got mine today, it is exactly what I had hoped, a perfect gift for a lovely lady I know who still needs to carry round a couple of nappies but wants to look stylish

Fimbo my feelings exactly, didn't want the pink spots but now think it looks a bit sludgy

I originally got both, so I could choose, and much preferred the blue. I admit I do have an irrational loathing of lime green which appears in the spots on the brown one. But liked the fact that all the colours on the blue are actually quite neutral - dark blue, taupe, light grey, and a lovely bluey grey - and go with loads of my winter things. The only bright is the pink which is actually a nice soft raspberry, which is fun but not a harsh colour at all.

PS And I usually dislike all things pink, so had thought I'd prefer the brown.

Oh I'm annoyed with myself that I ordered the brown now :( And I'm getting a lovely pink white stuff purse for my birthday that would look better with pink spot, but none left

Am just going to return, ask for a swap if they've got it or a refund. Don't think I like it that much.

I like the brown, but then I have quite a few brown bags/shoes/clothes as it is a colour which suits me.

I love the colour of the lining!

Took it out this morning and it is really comfy to wear, I wore it accross my body and although the bag itself is quite heavy it wasn't heavy to carry IYSWIM.

DH liked it better in the flesh than in the catalogue, and the DC think it is gorgeous.

I got the blue one. It is stiff but I bought the amazing patent leather bag last year and it slouched fairly quickly.

I'm very pleased with it and I'm sort of wishing I'd bought a few for Christmas presents as £21 was a bit of a bargain.

I don't normally buy non-leather bags but the quality of this one is surprisingly good.

Before you all return it, isn't there enough people on this thread you could sell it to?

Nice though. All about biscuits! They must know I'm a mumsnetterGrin

Was on to Boden just now re an order and cheekily asked when the sale was starting - the very nice customer services lady said that they hadn't been given the exact date yet but that it would be "early next month"!

I was complimented on my bag twice today, and both times by people who IMO are fairly stylish

I got the blue satchel and I love it. Took it on a day's Xmas shopping yesterday and it was fab swanning around with both hands free. Was out with DS today and again great to have both hands free for supervising a 3 year old. Would never have know about it if not for this thread so top marks to Kittya Smile.
