I have a killstar bag with "in memory of when I gave a f*" on it. I'm 38 and it saves me saying what I think majority of the time. Had alot of compliments and laughs about it too. Buy the bag. Sod every one else!

I have one and I got it at WDW. I love it. I'm 57. Loads of adults at WDW had them when we went.

Anyway, I looked on ebay and mine is 'rare' and now worth £450 apparently!!

Do what makes you happy!

Oh who cares what anyone thinks! I would get one but I can’t decide which I would get. I did get the Alice in Wonderland purse for Christmas and my friend has the matching bag :)

I'm 42 and build model aeroplanes and LEGO.

If you like it, ruddy well buy it and wear it with pride!

Morgysmum · 15/03/2022 19:02

No, I have a Gun's N Roses Ruck sack, I love it and I am 42. So go for it.
I also love T-shirts with logos, I have Captin America, Batman, garfield, and yes Gun's N Roses. These are mostly for men, as womens T-shirts aren't as good, yes I am a geek/nerd and I own it.

Don't leave it too late to do what makes you happy! You're the boss of you! Live your life, get the Disney backpack!

Pinkerbells · 15/03/2022 19:06

I'm 41 and I have 3!! All disney (and I'm after another one). I don't give a shit, and actually, a lot of people do comment on how nice my bags are lol

ladygindiva · 15/03/2022 19:08

I have a skip hop children's owl rucksack. I liked the colours. Do it.

JofraArchersFastestBall · 15/03/2022 19:13

Now I've spent too much time looking at fun rucksacks and I really want this Jurassic Park one....

I showed my son the Wall-E bag. He loves it that much he said we needed to buy 2! (One for him, one for me.) He even said he'd pay for them both.
I suggested I bought him one and he bought me one for Mother's Day.
Then we searched the site and he's decided he wants a D&D figurine instead.
But I'm getting a Wall-E bag (I'll pay for both, he can wrap mine up for Mother's Day)

OnceAgainWithFeeling · 15/03/2022 19:17

I want a wall-e bag now!

I hope not!! I have a loungefly Disney Up backpack as my handbag!! To replace my Mickey one where the zip broke. I get compliments on it alll the time! Which one are you thinking of getting? 😍

withoutawordofalie · 15/03/2022 19:25

I am in my 70s and have a Cath Kidson back pack with giraffs and zoo animals on it. Lifes too short to care about what other people think. Do what makes you happy.

KateM91 · 15/03/2022 19:27

LoungeFly bags are for adults? The prices they are I wouldn’t buy one for a kid 😂 I have seen a few I like but not brave enough. If you like it, buy it. ♥️

hiredandsqueak · 15/03/2022 19:29

dd is 29 and has about six of these bags (she stopped showing me after five) and matching purses so I'd say if you want one you should have one. She bought one for dd 19 as well, she is happy with just the one.

LuckySantangelo35 · 15/03/2022 19:32

I find adults who love Disney weird to be honest. Adult Disney enthusiasts…what is the appeal? Can you tell me?

I have a Loungefly purse with Mickey Mouse shaped ice creams, waffles, churros and what not on it.

Every time I take it out of my handbag I smile to myself. It brings me such joy. I'm 42 and give no shits if anyone judges. If they did it in a crossbody it would also be my handbag.

Take joy where you can.

HisHX · 15/03/2022 19:45

@JofraArchersFastestBall

I've never heard of loungefly bags, and I'm not particularly into Disney merchandise... but some of those are really well done. I'm wondering if I can convince my daughter to wear this wall-e one!

OP I wouldn't judge you, or anyone, for wearing something fun and interesting that they love. Life is too short. Plus we don't judge people (men) for wearing sports/Star Wars/music merchandise, do we?

If I’m completely honest, yes I do judge those men. We all make judgements based on what people wear. Some will be negative, some positive. Everyone’s judgements will be different, but everyone does it.

OP - if you want one of those bags, go for it!

Will some people judge it as too childish? Absolutely. And so what.

WhackusBonkus · 15/03/2022 19:45

I love all of these posts where folk are doing what they want and fuck what anyone else thinks!!! Go for it OP!

I too love unicorn everything and rainbows and bright colours. I got lilac DMs for my birthday and have just dyed my hair lilac I’ve been wanting to for years. I’ve just turned 50

hattie43 · 15/03/2022 19:46

I really like them , life's too short so enjoy what you like . Go buy one x

Mama1980 · 15/03/2022 19:46
