I love this Joules bag but I can't decide on a colour

Here. Can't decide between the nice bright cheerful tan or the more subtle dark brown.

I coveted this when it was in the shop. Just found it still available on the Next website. Now can't make up my mind. It looks a nice roomy bag and it's got compartments which a lot of bags don't have at the moment. I am sick of fishing around in my bag, I need compartments!

Just call me 'LatteLoverTheEnabler' Grin

I went to TKMax yesterday, they had LOADS of lovely bags in there and there's a Next discount store there too.

Some of the TKMax stores are good for bags, some are rubbish, but might be worth a look if you have one near you?!

Sadly not, we're about thirty miles from the nearest city. We are supposed to be going out at the end of next week so I could see if I can have a look around then.

I keep taking it out of the bag and looking at it. It's lovely and I thought I would love it and I am annoyed at myself!

Put it back in the bag and seal it up. It is not what you want or need!

How do you cope with being 30 miles from civilisation? It would drive me batshit and I don't even enjoy shopping Grin Is it lovely where you live?

Do you drive?

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 30/08/2014 15:48

Yes it's lovely where we live. We're near the coast. We've got lots of lovely towns, we're just a bit short on big cities. I do most of my shopping online. I can't be doing with cities. All the noise and concrete and people, you've got to pay to park, you've got to fight your way through crowds and walk miles to get anywhere and then you've got to carry it all back to the car and drive home again.

We're supposed to be going down to the city on Friday so dh can find some shoes. He needs to see them and try them on. He'd better be treating me to a nice lunch somewhere. Grin

Yes, he had hadn't he.... or a lovely handbag Grin

Ah, if you are coastal and have lovely towns that's different. It's the distance from the nearest nice coffee shop, book shop & corner shop that make me shudder. Cities you can mostly keep - unless it's London or a visit. Shopping you can keep, irrespective of where it is Grin

I love that (hmmm and need a new) bag too.

ByTheSea · 30/08/2014 17:59

Meant to say I like the dark brown better.

£170 Shock

I'd have to get a job to afford one of those Grin
Very nice though, dark brown is best I think

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 30/08/2014 18:51

Still torn...

It looks perfect. I just don't know about the one compartment.

Here's a challenge. Can anybody find me something similar? Size, colour and style I like. Just prefer two separate compartments inside. Like this one. Smile

Could you buy one of those handbag compartment things and put it in the bag? This sort of thing.

Greengardenpixie · 30/08/2014 19:28

i think this is beautiful and half price or so...

They do it in nude which is a lovely neutral colour.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 30/08/2014 22:37

That is nice.

dexter you are a genius. Grin

I've given in. A bird in the hand and all that. I've kept the bag and bought a divider. I have to say, I love the bag. Smile
