Saw a lady with a lovely bag this morning out in the wild. Yes i should have asked her but it was very early and cold!

Anyone recognise this?

I love Google lens sometimes.
Very useful..

Though it couldn't find the nice boots she's wearing.

Tuesday morning and I'm jealous of a strangers bag and boots... Pretty normal Tuesday tbh. 🤣

omg who spends that much on a bag?

MorrisZapp · 05/12/2023 09:21

Fooookin ell!

Skintdancemum · 05/12/2023 09:26

@nearlyemptynes i have bags that cost thousands, just because people have different priorities doesn’t mean it’s wrong

Skintdancemum · 05/12/2023 09:27

Ha ha and before anyone points out, yes I do see the irony with my user name 😆

I think I recognise the setting!

Its funny how people view things differently.

I probably wouldn't even notice this plain brown bag but if I had I would think it was a bog standard 'overnight' bag not 'very expensive handbag'.

Curious what it is that make some people think 'nice' and 'expensive' because to my eyes it just looks awkwardly sized, hard to carry (I want my hands free to open doors, hold a coffee, pay for things etc...), very brown and just completely plain.

Not really relevant though

goboilyerhead · 05/12/2023 14:04

That bag costs more than my car!😁

Callipygion · 05/12/2023 14:47

Ahhh “import duties included” it says. I bet a good wedge of that price is customs’ fees.

Lots of people, as you know.

If there wasn't a market for expensive bags, brands wouldn't bother making them.

Gosh I am still using a battered Modalu Pippa, I am so 2011.

UK RRP is £1400: https://www.acnestudios.com/uk/en/musubi-midi-tote-camel-brown/A10255-640.html?g=woman

It's nice OP but not usable as a shoulder/crossbody because the base is quite wide so it juts out a lot.

Yeah it would be a crook of the arm job wouldn't it. It's very nice in real life. I only own one bag in this price bracket and it will be my only one.

Another thing to consider is that Acne doesn't retain value. You may be able to buy it in the sale in the next few months or on Ebay / resellers websites for less than half the price.

Me! I have multiple bags in that price range and above
I can afford it,so why not?

Seeing you’re all great at naming the bag, what about this?

It's a nice bag. I think quite eye catching and I would have noticed it too but it's not a classic shape or style, so one I think admired form afar.

I think this may be it - zipper side outwards. One long carry strap hanging down against her body, short strap over her arm, and the long over-shoulder strap removed completely. Smooth Leather E/W Tote / Shoulder Bag (secretsales.com)

Could be Tod's or Loro Piana, definitely not the same bag as on secretsales.
