Can anyone find me a purse (or tell me that I should have this one)

[ditavonteesed]

If I love this purse has anyone seen anything similar?
I've been looking for a new purse for ages and can't find any I like. I'm normally a £20 purse kind of person. My current purse is threadbare.
I absolutely love this one but can't really justify the price (or can I).

It's Viv. Of course you can justify it. I've just received a VW necklace for my DD's 17th birthday...I paid way more than I've ever paid for a necklace for myself but the quality is fabulous and it's iconic.

If you love it and can afford it that's all the justification you need. It's lovely OP, treat yourself!

Have you looked in TK Maxx. Always a wide choice of purses there and I've seen VW stuff on sale.

Get the one you love. You'll use and enjoy it every day.

Am I blind. Or stupid. Or both. Quite possibly. But I can’t see the price!

£135

You should have it if you love it and can afford it.

However I feel I must warn you that patent leather (if that’s what it is) probably won’t look good for all that long.

I’d recommend you have a look at Aspinal of London, they’ve got a great sale on at the moment and their pieces are beautifully made and fantastic quality.

Oh also @ditavonteesed I recognise you from BC! 😊 I guess you’ve just finished the current one? I think you deserve a reward!

Just buy the bloody thing (unless it means you can’t feed your kids)

You can always just VW!
There are some slightly cheaper ones on the VW website:

But if you like that one, get it.

@LFQuery - it's £135!

Wow £135. But I agree as others have said, if you like it and can afford it, buy it!

Can you imagine if you lost it or it got stolen from you? That's just too much to spend on a wallet (IMO).

I usually spend a lot on purses as it's something you handle every day and so I want to love something I use so much.

If you can afford it then buy it

I wouldn’t worry about it being lost or stolen. It’s not all that likely to happen.

I associate Vivienne Westwood with TKMaxx, they always have it in, and had purses last time I looked.

It's nice enough but it won't look shiny and new for long.

I've just been given a purse that I absolutely love. It might sound silly but it brings a smile to my face every time I use it.

If you like the purse and can afford it, then buy it. Like a PP I would say that patent leather will wear out/get knocked about in your bag much quicker than leather.

Just have if if you like it a lot. Unless you are spending next week's food shopping or putting it on a credit card.

Right I'm going to have a look in tkmaxx to see if I can find anything I like as much, and if I don't I'm going to buy it. Thanks

Let us know if (when) you buy it or something else that you love more!

I love a vicarious shopping thrill!

Brandalley has a VW one similar to your link here it’s £79 Brandalley does take time to despatch items.

Golunski purses are on Amazon. I lost mine after having it for around 10 years and it still looked like new. DR had one for Christmas a couple of years after I bought mine and it's still going strong

@Ninkanink boot camp just finished but I'm koko.

Nothing in tkmaxx.

I do like the golunski ones @goose1964 they are really lovely.
Hmmm still thinking 🙄
