Help! Have I made an expensive bag mistake?

[muminthesun]

Hello,Can anyone reassure me that I haven't
made a mistake in ordering a bag?:(

I'm usless with links but its on The Outnet website, the Marc jacobs quilted one in magenta,not a colour I would ever normally go for.

It seemed like quite a good buy and I found myself purchasing!Can you tell I dont normally spend so much on bags? HELP

this one .... i like it ....

I have a MJ bag - its lasted me absolutely years ......

it depends on whether or not you can comfortably afford it.

It is very expensive, even if it does last years, all of my bags last years and cost a fraction of that price.

its up to you. personally i think it is hideous and over priced but i always think that on teh handbag threads

TBH it's very nearly half of my holiday budget.

Well you did ask - I wouldn't dream of forking that amount out for a handbag - for me affordability isn't the issue here I just don't value them that highly

Yes thats the one.Yes I can afford it,Its just the colour I'm not sure of,I tend to go for neutral colours and think this colour looks a bit cheap?

Anyway,you have probably comfirmed my fears,back it may go,x

i really like it

and as handbags go it's not that expensive

will look lovely with grey / navy

wait and see what the leather is like, that will be the key as to whether it looks cheap

not that expensive? [hollow laughter]

Good point Huwedwards. Same with me, I just wouldn't dream on spending so much on a handbag especially one that looks like something my dds aged 5 and 6 carry around with them.

Magenta is a fab colour for a handbag - what a great way to brighten up your life on a dull winter's day! I vowed many years ago that life is too short for black/boring handbags. Plenty of time for that when you're (much) older.

Thankyou PURAVIDA.I know its alot of money but its probably one of the less expensive bags on that site!:)

it is a bit of a statement bag, won't go with everything so probably can't be your main bag, so i think that is quite a lot of money to spend on that type of bag.

i would spend that much but probably only on something that i could use day in day out.

its gorgeous but im apink loving kinda girl

Yes it is a bit of a statement colour,might get bored of it.Its not the bag I'm regretting buying just the colour,would have no worries if it was black or brown.

And I know its alot of money and I'll know next time not to ask for opinions on s and b thread again:)I just thought that this year instead of buying lots of cheap rubbish I would buy one something better quality.Looks like I've failes though and bought something v expensive but looks like cheap rubbish then

if you really liked it then everyone else's opinions would not matter very much.

It is far more than I could ever dream of affording for a handbag but if I did have this to spend on a bag I would go for a more neutral colour that would go with everything.

I just don't like 'designer' bags. To me they just say 'chav' - I'm sorry.

And I don't buy the blah blah about them lasting years - so did my £4.99 jobbie from the local market

muminthesun don't be disheartened about posting it here, you have to take from the answers what you want to imo. I have posted things on here which have been flamed and I still bought them and loved them.

Imo, as long as you can afford it then you can spend your money on whatever you please. I agree with whoneedssleepanyway in that it's not an everyday colour. Saying that, I had a gorgeous Gianni Chiarini purple hobo last year which I worried about when I bought it, and then wore it every day for 6 months, it just seemed to go with everything.

Wait and see the colour, if you love it you'll find a way to wear it..:)

I don't like the colour myself but like the style. If that's your budget, check out Furla and Coccinelle bags for a more classic colour/style.

Yes,no worries.Everyone is entitled to their opinion,its only a bag afterall :)

i think it's very nice. not garish, good shape and quite practical. definitely a bargain price. mulberry had a similar colour last year and whilst not a mulberry fan was almost tempted!
it'll be very cheerful with navy or black now, then great for spring and summer. buy it!

I don't like it, but then I dislike that colour on anything, it looks cheap IMO. Then again with the right outfit (all black perhaps) and as a statement it might be OK.

This ones's nicer

I love this

I love it - the fact that it's so bright means it won't match so it will work with loads of things!

Having said that, I'm a bag whore and can come up with a good enough reason to buy just about any bag.

I'm also a fan of Marc Jacobs - they're very good quality as well as looking good.
