It is a friends 30th birthday, and 7 of us are chipping in to buy one of her favourite bags, it's a choice between the three.
Which one would you recommened? I know it's alot of money, but there is 7 of us paying, and seeing as it's her 30th, we wanted to give her something she liked. My fave is the mulberry.

I'm not keen on any of them tbh but I think that's because the metal is gold and I prefer silver - so at a push I think the Jimmy Choo one but I know nothing so don't listen to me!

I like that one!

NewChoos · 21/03/2012 09:44

Can't see the Mulberry - not keen on the other 2 - sorry!
Depends on your friends style, is she classic or quirky?
Have you looked at Osprey bags?
Or an evening clutch, love the Jimmy choo sparkly one.

darby123 · 21/03/2012 10:42

She is a classy lady, not at all quirky, I'm not that keen on any of them Myself, but I would choose the mulberry if I had to.

valium that jimmy choo one is nice, it does look abit like the mulberry evalina, just abit. I prefer silver metal as opposed to gold.

MUlberry would be my choice, but I would go for something a little more classic as that colour will date the bag quite quickly. maybe the same bag in the black or fudge colourway. I guess it depends on what bags she has already and if shes likely to use this bag daily, season in season out, or if she has a wardrobe of designer handbags and this would be another for the collection?

darby123 · 21/03/2012 10:50

She has a few designer bags, so she would use it daily. I will check the osprey collection. She does like brown/tan, but not keen on black.

theseventhdwarf · 21/03/2012 11:14

a bag is so personal - would you be better telling her you want to get her a bag - and let her choose?
It s such a lovely thing to get and so thoughtful.

BUT
I love my bags and i would be gutted if my pals spent so much money and choose a bag for me that I didnt particularly like.......maybe one of your party could ask her what she likes or bring her shopping and see what she chooses rather than picking one out for her.

darby123 · 21/03/2012 11:24

seventhdwarf I agree, she has already told us that she would like one of these bags, as she loves three of them, so we are just goin to surprise her.

alwayswashingup · 21/03/2012 17:56

I like the Jimmy choo thelma, it's beautiful, not too keen on mulberry, and chloe is nice, even better in snakeskin.

Francagoestohollywood · 21/03/2012 18:00

MY fav is the Chloe bag.

darby123 · 21/03/2012 18:14

Does anyone own a chloe marcie, if so, does it look good in real life?

OP posts:

No, I don't own one, but yes, I think they look good in RL. A friend of mine has the Marcie Messenger and it's beautiful (imo)

am Shock at spending £150 on a friend's birthday present.

I don't like the middle one, probably prefer the top one of the three.
