Anyone bought a handbag from this <cough> definitely reputable<cough> brand?

Here

Cheap, certainly... But nasty? Probably. I might be prepared to chance it, but wondered if anyone else was a sucker customer?

God, can you imagine if it is THE bag?

I'm not sure what I'd do. The endless search would be over. Life would cease to hold any purpose or meaning.

I mean sure, there's the kids and everything, but they won't be able to fill the huge, yawning void in my life that finding THE bag would create.

I'm...I'm... Not sure what to hope for... So cold... So cold...

You can still hold onto the dream tethers - if you find THE bag for this year there's always THE dress or THE shoes

Yes, just move on to the next one. I've found 'the bag' many, many times, to the point where that argument carries absolutely no weight with DH at all now.

have you not got PRIME next day delivery OP?!

Don't you have to factor in the cost of the flight to china as well though?

Ok, it has arrived... And I'm very happy!

It is most definitely a copy-silver hardware and painted rather than dyed leather, but the exact dark tan colour in the pic. It is light, the leather is good if a little thin, but it is lined and sturdy. The size is perfect- can easily fit an A4 folder and other work bits inside, there's mobile phone pockets, the strap is just the right length and very comfy (it also comes with a detachable shoulder strap shown in the pic of the model wearing it), and everything is securely attached.

Overall, I'd say it was high street quality and definitely worth the money. If I'd paid more I'd still be pleased. I have a couple of Jaeger bags and I'd say it was on a par with them for quality.

I think... I have found my bag

I tell a lie, the leather is in fact dyed through.

I am not sure if it may be a bit big for me. Although at a4 I could fit in my notebook.

Damn you and your bag hunting!

Couple of questions ... Does the short handle easily fit over a coat? Is the handle long enough to only use one arm to put it onto your shoulder (does that make sense)? Is there a pocket on the outside for tube tickets? Is there one shoulder strap or two? Can you get your hand into the bag whilst its on your shoulder?

Ok that was more than a couple of questions,

This is my work bag, so size is perfect for me, Arisbottle. It has taken me a while to find one big enough

50p- you wear your bag like me!

I shall be throwing the detachable strap away- it's really only to make it into a cross-body bag. The (one) handle fits over one shoulder with room to spare even with a coat on and you can put it on one handed. It has a front flap pocket which you can access with the hand of the arm/shoulder carrying the bag (hope that makes sense)

Don't worry MissB, I'll be back on here next week with another endless quest for something trivial

Oooooooooooooo how exciting

It's like when I found the mascara - there was a void in my life!!

Fantastic news Tethers!! V happy for you

Thank you, thank you I couldn't have done it without you

Are you sure it's not too heavy? My shoulder is knackered, but it looks so lovely...

No, honest, it's really light.

My only criticism of it is the exposed zip at the top looks a bit cheap. But it's practical, so I can live with it.

God, but its lovely

Congratulations tethers < wipes tear from eye >

Ill always remember where I was when I read your post

Any sign Tethers? Got my eye on this. Please report including sniff test.

Oooooh. I really, really like it! And such a bargain. I am sorely tempted. haven't bought a bag in at least two weeks (last purchase was a Radley Bartley large hobo in blue) ...

Doh. You have already reported your news. My bosses always used to say I lack attention to detail.
