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.

I recently treated myself to a YSL Lou Lou toy in the puffer style . I absolutely love it

This is how I recently styled it. With mom jeans long sleeved black t shirt and conversebut please don't judge the mess in the pic we'd been having a junk clear out from daughters bedroom 😆

@70isaLimitNotaTarget I love that! I’m looking for a new bag for work but has to be easy to carry around and not too big so one of those would be perfect.

Ordered this yesterday for my city break in May.

Where is this gorgeous bag from?

vestedinterests · 11/04/2023 09:21

@Riverlee it's from Arket. I also love the silver one that one of the posters on this thread has!

I bought this off Vinted last week.
I didn't like the strap that came with it so bought this one off Amazon.
In person it's much more glittery than it looks in the photo.

@Riverlee yep, @vestedinterests is right, it's Arket, they have quite a few different colours and they come in two sizes.

I've got a Cath Kidston "busy fabric" rucksack. Kids call it my burgler proof bag! CFs!

@Trollsinmyeggbox I love your Arket bag. Which size is yours and what can you fit inside it?

Trollsinmyeggbox · 11/04/2023 20:27

@bendmeoverbackwards it's the smaller version. I'm not sure what I can fit into it because it's not arrived yet 😂

If you look at alexandra.steadman on instagram she has a blue one which gives more context of the size.

I'm hoping it'll fit a small purse, sunglasses, camera, phone and small make up bag in for out and about in the day, and that it'll be smart enough for evening as well.

I just couldn't resist and purchased this beauty last night

I’ve just had a fail with a Michael Kors I bought on Vinted. What I thought was a tan cross body bag for the summer is very definitely 💩 brown 😂. Ah well, back on Vinted it goes!

@Trollsinmyeggbox I’m here for the Arket bag love. My silver one is small and holds my phone, keys and probably a pen and small card wallet. It’s got better capacity than other bags of similar size.

Trollsinmyeggbox · 12/04/2023 13:46

@weaselwords ahh that's reassuring, thanks! I had the dispatch email this morning so hopefully I'll get to squish it soon!

@vestedinterests absolutely bravo, I couldn't decide between the black/brown so it had more versatility but went for red so it could be a feature. I've been putting it into little outfit mock ups on Whering and got all over excited 😂
