That's not a bag, that's a glasses case !

MerryPiffmas · 06/12/2006 18:17

I'm sorry but for that price man you can get so much nicer bags...
I think it's gross

GlennCloseAsCruellaDeVille · 06/12/2006 18:25

seriously it's not pretty - ostentatious and showy, no class.
But what would I know I live in the Lincs wolds and traipse around in Monsoon cardigans

get a bag for £20 and give the rest to charity.

That bag looks like it costs £20 so why pay the extra?

WonderCod · 06/12/2006 18:48

sont like the colour

moondog · 06/12/2006 18:50

My Great Aunt Fanny had one just like it circa 1975.

PeachyIsNowAChristmasFruit · 06/12/2006 18:51

Loks like a grannies glasses case!

Ridiculous amount of money- I like a nice handbag (coveting a Radley but Dh swears every time I mention it ) but still.....

MerryPiffmas- where I come rom love Monsoon is deswigner, it was Peacocks all the way!

Blimey are clutch bags back?

Bad idea imo.

ANd how much

PrincessPeaHead · 06/12/2006 18:57

there is a very funny sex in the city episode where Big gives Carrie a Judith Leiber clutch bag. She is horrified, especially as he says "I saw this and just thought of you"

I'm in the Carrie camp I'm afraid

now this is much nicer and a tenth of the price

GlennCloseAsCruellaDeVille · 06/12/2006 19:01

but it's brown!

do you think people would be as impressed though?

OP posts:
PrincessPeaHead · 06/12/2006 19:03

well it is sort of dusty lilac.
more summery really

I think this thread has established that not too many people would be impressed by the other one (I don't think I've ever been impressed by a clutch bag - I think of them more as a necessary evil IMO)

Twiglett · 06/12/2006 19:04

what is the point in a bag that you can't put anything in and you can't carry easily .. that's not a bag its an impediment

GlennCloseAsCruellaDeVille · 06/12/2006 19:05

I was actually looking for something to go with your pony shoes when i came across it lol

OP posts:
GlennCloseAsCruellaDeVille · 06/12/2006 19:06

twig..I think it's just for "show"

BettySpaghetti · 06/12/2006 19:10

For that sort of money, why not buy a car instead? You can get more in it and it has the added bonus of getting you from A to B

Sorry but I can't imagine ever being wealthy enough/ reckless enough /bothered enough by "labels" to ever spend that on a bag, especially one that you can't get anything in!

GlennCloseAsCruellaDeVille · 06/12/2006 19:11

I do think putting something in a bag spoils it's shape though..I just get dp to put his hand in his pocket

OP posts:
PeachyIsNowAChristmasFruit · 06/12/2006 19:16

Putting othing in a bag

Remind me, what's the point of a bag again?

GlennCloseAsCruellaDeVille · 06/12/2006 19:19

well obviously if I was going on holiday I'd put stuff in a carry on bag, but an evening bag is just for something to hold and mathc your outfit and look stunning with..I think, or am i barking up the wrong tree?

It might be a bit pastelly for Christmas dos though

OP posts:
PeachyIsNowAChristmasFruit · 06/12/2006 19:21

to match your poutfit (actually I like a bit of eccentricity in my bgas- matching is so Dynasty dahlinks ). But at least it needs to be able to hold alippy or make up? Dh always refuses to put those in his pocket, sadly its only my money he'll take

Or am I being had?

GlennCloseAsCruellaDeVille · 06/12/2006 19:24

of course don't everyone tell me about how bad it is going round with hands in pockets..I was talking metaphorically..and it's just about as bad spoiling the shape of a good suit isn't it never mind the risk of falling over and not being able to save yourself or even worse having change in your pocket and jingling it!

OP posts:
Twiglett · 06/12/2006 19:29

BOLLOCKS >. if you want something to match your outfit with no practical use then get some beautiful jewellry .. the point of a BAG is to carry things .. useful things ... like keys, money, condoms, maybe lippy ... FGS why carry something you don't have to .. its like a racehorse being hobbled

myrrhthamoo · 06/12/2006 19:38

That's not a bag...THIS is a bag

GlennCloseAsCruellaDeVille · 06/12/2006 19:40

it's a comfort thing really, something to do with your hands and if you don't have a bag then you can't escape from people by pretending to go and do make up can you?

I'm not sure you could really buy a car for that price..!!
