I really like this bag but not sure if I can afford it . Wondering what others think of it or if anyone has seen anything similar? Thanks.

hi, I like that bag but think it is very expensive for what it is like a lot of FCUK stuff! Would urge you to hunt through ASOS, H&M and New Look for something similar or wait for the inevitable sale!

Agree with emo, think its expensive for a straw occasion bag..

debenhams

oasis

asos

iknowwho · 10/06/2012 15:28

If you can't afford it give it a miss.
Out of all the options I prefer the Debenhams one that Madame has put up.

YY to what EMO said. Its very expensive for what it is. Try TK Maxx

straw clutch that is loads cheaper

Itsgottabebags · 10/06/2012 15:44

another much cheaper option

Thanks - should have said that I wasn't particularly looking for strawy just liked that one - liked it in black too.

Thanks for links Smile - looking on Asos site I also like http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Leather-Bar-Clutch/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1990255&cid=11305&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=-1&sort=-1&clr=Stone but not sure and http://www.asos.com/Pieces/Pieces-Naysa-Leather-Cross-Body-Bag/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2046889&cid=8730&Rf-200=25&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=200&sort=-1&clr=Nude this nude one

Folicacid · 10/06/2012 20:22

Thank goodness someone posted that bag was now half price. I was completely confused as to why people were saying t is too expensive but then linking to bags only a fiver cheaper!

Nospringflower · 10/06/2012 21:04

Oh god after all that I'm now wondering if I should get this instead! Please help me decide!

I like the across body. Depends on your lifestyle/how much wear you will get out of it. I would (and do) look in TK Maxx rather than part with the money on FC stuff. More choice and imo I would get better value but that's just me

Nospringflower · 10/06/2012 22:57

Thanks for all your advice itsgottabebags Smile. I need to buy more as suddenly realised the last few times I've gone out that I don't have any decent bags that match my outfit. Will start looking at TKMax website.
