I've found my perfect bag. At last.

Lust

Now I just need to find a spare grand.

Any ideas?

Answers on a postcard. Or just type them in the box down there. Might be quicker.

eBay LOADS of old clothes/bags/shoes? Car boot? Do babysitting? Save any birthday/Christmas money?

I bet you could do it and get it in time for Christmas Smile

Hate to buck a trend here but I really don't like it. Just looks a bit meh.

AmberNectarine · 27/01/2013 08:15

Sell your body?

nilbyname · 27/01/2013 08:20

You could get that money together by the end of the year no worries as chewy suggested, get selling!

But I am not a fan... that particular shade of tan look vey cheap IMO.

libertychick · 27/01/2013 08:21

Break it down - £20 a week gets it for you by next Christmas - do a few small things such as dropping the coffee habit (if you have one), buy one less bottle of wine a week, stop buying fashion mags (added bonus of not getting distracted by anything else!), better phone contract?????

It weighs 4.3lbs! You had better start pumping iron to carry it!

SavoyCabbage · 27/01/2013 08:29

Goodness it's awful!

SavoyCabbage · 27/01/2013 08:31

Forgot to say make 1000 of something you can make for next to nothing and sell them at a fete.

novelsituation · 27/01/2013 08:39

I understand your pain. Would love one in khaki, seed or nut brown.

I think they are gorgeous bags.

novelsituation · 27/01/2013 08:42

I prefer the medium size to the large. Unfortunately it's also ruinously expensive.

MrsCampbellBlack · 27/01/2013 08:49

The medium in blue has been on my wish list for a year and still no bugger has taken the hint and bought it for me - I even put it on pinterest and said 'ideal gift' and still DH just ignores me.

BrandyAlexander · 27/01/2013 09:15

Not sure i should post this Blush but umm i just bought that bag. But in a different colour (which you prob wouldn't like!). Hasn't arrived yet as did it online so will arrive in a few days. I was actually looking for a balenciaga city but they're not doing it in colours I like this season and stumbled on the Marcie.

planestrainsautomobiles · 27/01/2013 09:28

My lovely sister has that bag in red - it is gorgeous! She also got the matching purse for christmas. Agree about eBay - sold buggies and baby furniture and made close to 1000 plus 300 at an NCT sale recently.

MrsCampbellBlack · 27/01/2013 10:11

Novice - which colour?

BrandyAlexander · 27/01/2013 10:30

MrsCampbellBlack, its the salmon one. www.matchesfashion.com/product/138215

The Balenciaga city I really want is the bright blue or green one but they don't appear to do those anymore. I am toying with the mango.

I tend to use colourful bags for work or going out (which is what this is for). I tend to use my brown bags casually.

PlumSykes · 27/01/2013 10:40

Oh, it's lovely. One of my favourite bags at the moment.

MrsCampbellBlack · 27/01/2013 11:18

Oh that's lovely novice - really lovely!

bigkidsdidit · 27/01/2013 11:31

I love that salmon Envy

You need 100 tenners Tethers. Do you have 100 small things to sell, or some old baby stuff you dot need any more?

novelsituation · 27/01/2013 12:27

Beautiful bag novice.

Glossynotflossy · 27/01/2013 13:11

I went to the harvey nics sale at christmas time and considered a chloe but i didnt like the leather.

Agree about ebaying etc.

joliejolie · 27/01/2013 13:16

Balaclava, wire cutters...I mean how secure can the NAP warehouse really be??

I used to love Chloe bags and I do love the look of this one, I just don't feel like the quality matches the price. That's getting to be true of all designer bags nowadays.

tethersend · 27/01/2013 13:19

Ah, you're all lovely Smile

I do have things I could sell (buggies, toys, clothes, kidneys, children)- but even then, could I really spend a over a grand on a bag? Really?

I'm not sure I could. Or could I? Probably could, in a heartbeat

So, tell me if you've seen a good knock off, or tell me it's shit Grin
