I'm in love with it, but it's expensive! What do you think? Jigsaw backpack.

I like neither backpack sorry!

Mercurial123 · 20/08/2018 05:17

Look at Whistles they have a good selection. I got mine from there a couple of years ago and quality is great.

xFreePeaceSweetx · 20/08/2018 06:04

The second one definitely. Looks better quality.

SuperstarDJ · 20/08/2018 06:08

The shiny mock croc isn’t very nice and really cheapens the bag. The accessorise one is nicer.

fieryginger · 20/08/2018 06:09

I think, if you really love something, buy it without asking other people if they like it. Who cares what other folk think?

Heismyopendoor · 20/08/2018 06:17

The first one is horrific, the second one is ok. Not my style but I wouldn’t be sad if someone bought me it lol.

At the end of the day you should wear what makes you happy.

BusterGonad · 20/08/2018 07:12

I like the second one far better. The mix of suede and leather is lovely.

lexer · 20/08/2018 07:48

OP, I have a soft leather one of those, bought last year and I love it. I cycle quite a bit so it's very handy then it comes off my back and looks like a regular handbag.

Must admit I'm not too keen on the embossed leather on this one but my soft one is lovely.

I prefer this one:

Never as ask MN what they think- there are people with weird tastes on here. I like it OP, although the colour way wouldn't be my choice- they have/had it in a lovely grey pebbled leather which looked more classy and it doesn't look cheap at all- i've seen it in the flesh. The accessorise one will not be better quality than the Jigsaw one- you can see from the picture that the leather isn't as soft or the same quality as Jigsaw.

This is nice www.jigsaw-online.com/product/bree-buckle-backpack/J35998_GN020

Out of stock but I loved this one www.jigsaw-online.com/product/stevie-zip-top-backpack/J37554_GY001

specialsubject · 20/08/2018 10:03

looks useless - little capacity, silly thin straps, no hip belt, lots of extra weight from the gold tat.

plus nasty fake leather with lumps and cheap gold trim everywhere. fiver from a market stall max.

TheFairyCaravan · 20/08/2018 10:04

@HollowTalk yes that’s the one I’ve got. It’s really roomy.

specialsubject · 20/08/2018 10:07

the others are the same, useless - just handbags with long straps tacked on.

either carry a handbag (which is a nuisance) or get a usable backpack without the extra weight and stupid cluttery bits which will only get caught on things.

if you are going to use one of these dickish fashion jobs, make sure you carry no more than lipstick and tissues. any real weight will snap the straps and not do your back any good.

Minnie747 · 20/08/2018 10:10

The a Jigsaw backpack, definitely! The second one is not so secure, just a magnet close (I wouldn’t feel so safe/secure with this on my back). Also the Jigsaw backpack is a great finish and looks much more expensive. Probably because it is!!

Minnie747 · 20/08/2018 10:12

Oh and personally I think Whistles backpacks are much more stylish (and similar price range).

RatRolyPoly · 20/08/2018 10:15

Oh, that tan one's gorgeous!!

RatRolyPoly · 20/08/2018 10:16

Actually I don't think anyone linked the tan one, I must have clicked on it from the ads on the side of my MN page. www.jigsaw-online.com/product/wyatt-leather-mix-backpack/J37638_CR020?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIusGL8aP73AIVTKt3Ch2kTAIgEAEYASACEgKWQPD_BwE

Fresta · 20/08/2018 10:22

Special- you sound like i div.

BusterGonad · 20/08/2018 10:39

Special why go on Style and Beauty if you think fashion is dickish? I've no doubt you've got Mountain Warehouse back pack! 🤣

WilburIsSomePig · 20/08/2018 10:40

I'm not keen on any of them tbh, just because they're not really something I would use, but if you like it get it OP.

Some posters really seem to struggle with giving an opinion without trying to sound superior - the 'you like that?', as if the OP is an idiot for even asking. It's tiresome and predictable.

Give opinions of course, the OP has asked for them, but no need to be a dick about it.

Mercurial123 · 20/08/2018 10:49

Special subject maybe you should get yourself on an outdoor or camping forum you make the same "helpful" comments whenever people ask about rucksacks.

TheFairyCaravan · 20/08/2018 11:21

MInnie the second one isn’t a magnet close. It’s got a zip and a magnet close.

Special I’ve bought the backpack because I use crutches all the time. I was using a cross body bag but I can only use it from my right shoulder and it was giving me headaches, I’ve developed a lump on the bottom of my neck and my right shoulder was hurting. I don’t need a whopping great bag, I need something big enough for my purse, phone, meds and glasses that will keep my hands free.

ShopoholicIn · 21/08/2018 13:10

I like it n the accessories backpack
