to buy or not to buy that is the q

buy it - taste is subjective.

esp. on mumsnet!

I've bought some gorg bags from Debenhams before.

Debs

I think Red Herring are quite a nice range that Debs carry

I saw this purse today in M&S and it is a possibility but maybe a tad boring?

John Rocca one always gets comments and was about £30

OO - you can buy something with a LOT more WOW factor than that Oasis one.

I love a bag me. I like them to be big, bold and faBULOUS.

That M&S purse is okaaaay, but the black one with white stitching i linked to is lovley and I've held it and it's v soft and has great layout. Really don't know why I didn't buy it myself.

oliveoil · 28/06/2007 14:14

hmmmmmm

OO - you have five bags from debenhams already.

You have bag issues lady.

Step away from the bags.

ThomCat · 28/06/2007 14:25

I have LOADS of bags. I like bags more than shoes I think.

oliveoil · 28/06/2007 14:26

you sound like dh

laneydaye · 28/06/2007 14:26

Havent you bought it yet??????

Pannacotta · 28/06/2007 14:29

Thomcat, waht is the "layout" of the soft M&S purse? Presume you meant the Autograph one?

contentiouscat · 28/06/2007 14:34

Well I was ready to say "a girl can never have too many handbags" ive got tons and just keep buying, but tbh I dont think its anything special for £40. Do you think perhaps its that weird thing which comes over us when we see a money off sign - I used to buy loads of things in sales which I wouldnt normally.

ThomCat · 28/06/2007 14:47

Panacotta - yes the autograph one.
It was a while ago and can't recall it enough to describe to you now. I just know that I'm really funny about layout or purses. I hate too many zips, buttons, compartments and I know I looked at this one and thought - ohhhh perfect. Sorry to be useless!

oliveoil · 28/06/2007 14:48

oh I am the same TC

lol

was in House Of Fraser really studying them all and getting in everyone's way

ThomCat · 28/06/2007 14:51

I've had the same purse for 10 years and want a new one but never found one that has the right layout, which is why I don't get why I didn't buy the M&S one.

expatinscotland · 28/06/2007 14:52

Oh no, that bag looks like it should be sliding off the shoulder of a skinny, chain-smoking teenage chavette.

Convinced?

Fimbo · 28/06/2007 14:55

I think Expat has summed the bag up nicely

oliveoil · 28/06/2007 14:57

expat also wears crocs iirc

Buy it. You can never have too many bags or shoes or books.

expatinscotland · 28/06/2007 14:58

I don't anymore. As slippers only.

That's bag belongs on a girl standing outside the Sheriff Court puffing on a Lambert&Butler waiting for her yob in shining trackies to re-emerge.

oliveoil · 28/06/2007 14:59

oh it does not

it is lovely

I stand firm in my good taste and may just buy it to spite you all

OP posts:
Quattrocento · 28/06/2007 14:59

Sorry sorry RTFQ

What I meant, of course, was DO NOT BUY THIS BAG. IT IS UTTERLY GROSS. ARE YOU DEMENTED, WOMAN?

hoxtonchick · 28/06/2007 15:03
