Inspired by the 'why do people buy expensive designer bags, I don't understaaaaaaand' thread, I thought it would be fun to show our last purchases.

Here's mine, bought in the Mulberry Xmas sale for a bargain knock down price. I love it and will use it loads in the Spring & Summer.

Just watching the Morning Show and coveting the Celine bad that Jennifer Aniston carries but it's £££

I adore this one too! Went to see it and it looked like the leather would scratch really easy, so that and the price put me off. JA makes everything look great!

In cinnamon not black

Oh and for those wondering why others post a link to their bag instead of the actual bag, it’s 6:23 am and I’m not getting out of bed to take a picture of my fucking handbag. 🙄

Completely off topic (though I agree), is your username a nod to the Madeline Edwards song? I LOVE her!

Notreadytomakenice · 02/04/2023 06:51

Oh, it didn’t add that this was in response to MamaDollyOrJesus

Maireas · 02/04/2023 07:31

@Abcdefgh1234 - that's a lovely Chanel bag, the yellow is unusual. I agree with pp, it's nice to see a pic of the actual bag, sometimes the internet images aren't quite the same.
M&S do quite a good dupe of those Dior bags.

Maireas · 02/04/2023 07:35

@ArianahX - that's a nice colourful bag.

MattDamon · 02/04/2023 07:39

Esprit. Vegan shopper. Roomy without being huge. Inside pockets for phone and has a zipper. £45, but look around for a discount code.

That's nice, @MattDamon - is it orange, or more of an orangey brown in real life?

Yes & no - I know the song (big country fan) but it's actually something I have said on a regular basis since my teens usually in a crap southern accent 😂

Floofydawg · 02/04/2023 08:13

@Robinni you might just have saved me a purchase there!

Definitely more brown in person. I was worried it would look cheap (can be hit or miss with vegan stuff!) but it looks really nice.

Yes, it's more brown. You're right, vegan leather can be a bit hit and miss.

december2020 · 02/04/2023 08:33

@Kay286 - this is then one! The Lou Mini
It's surprisingly spacious and fits quite a lot of stuff!

H&m buy for my sister who is after the dior vibe without the hefty price tag.

I love a bag thread!

For people who like the CD bag, Hudson blue designs do a really similar one that you can get personalised. I always wonder if you could say your name is Christian Dior 😂🤔

This is my latest sale purchase, I have a lot of green in my summer wardrobe and my cheap green bag broke so I wanted something a bit more robust. It might be a bit too dark though. I also bought the Lulu Guinness Cole but managed to get blue biro on the front 🙈

Bought for shopping and work

That looks like a practical size, but I really don't like that big writing on it.

grayhairdontcare · 02/04/2023 10:15

@Maireas I don't either.
I had a thread asking if anyone knew of anything similar without the logo and it wasn't helpful.
I wear it with the plain side showing

Mercurial123 · 31/03/2023 10:18

I bought an Advene bag

That is absolutely gorgeous! Am very tempted, have been looking for a new bag to fall in love with! 😍
Do you find it’s roomy enough? I need it large enough for a couple of phones, hairbrush, keys and a few bits of make up.
Also can you confirm does it come with a longer strap or is main strap just adjusted with the poppers to wear over the shoulder? (assuming not long enough for cross body wear).

Oh right, it would annoy me too! Maybe the collective minds on here could help? What size is it, would you prefer leather or other material?.

Ihateboris · 02/04/2023 10:47

My most recent purchase. Large YSL bought second hand. I love animal print 😄

Present from me to me Grin I love it! Have been looking for a small black crossbody for those baby free days I don't need to lug a rucksack! Got it hugely discounted in the flannels sale plus a code added so pretty chuffed.

It comes with two separate straps. The bottom is quite wide and expands, so you can hold more than you think. There are two sizes, I have the larger version.

I’m always puzzled by these threads when the majority of posters don’t show their actual own item but post a photo from an ad or similar. Why? I’d like to see the actual bag you have & perhaps how you style it etc. Anyone can look on the internet for a picture & post it.

Mainly because it was upstairs and I was downstairs, slumped on the sofa. Here it is slumped on the sofa too, hanging out with the TV remote.
