I drunkenly ordered this bag last night and I only just remembered that I did that

I like it, but I don't need it

I'd had three glasses of prosecco and a pink gin.

YABU- drunken you has spoken and that is that

Katinski · 01/01/2021 21:34

Is it a Law that you have to wear the flares that I saw in the picture? They certainly would fit with the bag.
I was reading about time slips last night. Reckon you bought that bag while you were in one.Grin

BestestBrownies · 01/01/2021 21:37

You spent £96 (£96!!???) so you can wear what will look like a large, angry insect on your back?!?

If your wardrobe consists of Disney jumpers and ‘quirky’ brightly coloured shoes then crack on.

@supersplodge

Sorry - I can't imagine spending £100 on a backpack ever! Agree with PP who said you should spend it on something smarter!

The bag is fine but you can get a perfectly good backpack for a tenner on ebay - it's not something you need to be designer.......???

There are amazing bags out there! This isn't one.......

Did you miss the part where OP clearly stated she was completely sozzled when she ordered it?

Next time I'm paralytic I'd love your advice!

tillyandmilly · 01/01/2021 21:40

I like it! - Practical, lightweight, goes with everything and being a good make won't get tatty! I would buy it but still out of my price range!

FlatulentSproutEater · 01/01/2021 21:40

Yeah - sorry OP but that is a terrible bag. That Orla Kiely 'pattern' is so so tired now. Instantly identifiable and not in a good way.

Do yourself a big favour and send it the hell back. Grin

Danu2021 · 01/01/2021 21:44

Thanks, yall may think it's hideous but it has two top handles and i can fit a lap top in it. I think.
No disney jumpers!! So i flatter myself to believe i can work the odd garish nappy bag!!

If i had a baby now at 50 id be on the front cover of The Times 🥂

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles

Oh I thought you said 'drunkenly' but then I saw that what you had was what we refer to as a 'snifter' which is what we have whilst we're deciding what to have to drink!
I thought that, too! 😂
LilMidge01 · 01/01/2021 21:46

I don't like it- it looks cheap and not even that practical (what's up with the shape?). Sorry, wouldn't normally diss someone's bag but you're asking for opinions....I would spend max £20 on it and if I needed a new bag!! Send it back

Try the laptop in it when it comes then...I would be sceptical given the shape of the top zipper getting stuck on the corners....if it fits and you like it, keep it. To me though, doesn't look practical at all!! Plenty other bags with top straps
MargeProopsSpecs · 01/01/2021 21:49

Sadly I don't need to be drunk to buy stuff I regret. Grin

Sorry op I'd refuse to open the door to whoever delivers that bag.

LilMidge01 · 01/01/2021 21:52

LOL @Lucieintheskye

Yes we are aware she was drunk when she ordered it, but now when considering whether to keep it or not, she is not (presumably!) so can therefore compare it to other options out there when making her decision if she wants a new bag.

Danu2021 · 01/01/2021 21:56

When it arrives i will open it carefully not ripping the packaging

OP posts:
Katinski · 01/01/2021 22:02

Actually,looking at it again, I rather like it. Was it half price? For that, it's worth it. Full price, perhaps not..

Ruthietuthie · 01/01/2021 22:03

I once ordered 24 chicken and mushroom Pot Noodles, to be shipped internationally. I had entirely forgotten until a large box arrived.
I like the bag and think it will be really handy.

CeibaTree · 01/01/2021 22:06

I thought Orla Keily had gone bust? I quite like that bag OP :)

This has completely cracked me up! GrinGrinGrin

Wineinthegarden · 01/01/2021 22:12

Love it! Good purchase!

TheWordWomanIsTaken · 01/01/2021 22:12

I mean, if you can afford it and you like it?
Personally, I would be sending it back - I really don't like it - looks like a changing bag, but each to their own, that's what makes us interesting no?

CauliflowerCheese30 · 01/01/2021 22:13

Even drunk I couldn't afford to pay that much for a bag!!

Danu2021 · 01/01/2021 22:18

@Gotobloodysleep

I love drunk shopping. Always a surprise when you get the email or it turns up. Smile
This is what happened. I checked my emails to see what time the tesco shopping is coming tomorrow and i got 😯😯 a flashback 😂

I think it’s lovely, Treat Yourself! (Anyone else watch parks and recreation?)

TwnklTwnklLittleStarfighter · 01/01/2021 22:21

It’s gorgeous. I love OK. You’ll only fit a tiny laptop in though, the besties are smaller than they look.

HugeBowlofChips · 01/01/2021 22:22

That's nothing. Last night two hours after coming round from a general anaesthetic and while still in hospital I spent £4000 on a holiday.

Back on topic, the bag looks like a very sensible buy that you will get lots of use out of.
