You have £1,500 to spend on a bag of your choice, what do you go for?

[whitenoisemachine]

As the title says. Give or take 10% either way. Looking for a really nice new luxury bag and in need of suggestions.

A bag of chocolate and wine!

Doesn’t matter if you are alone or not. It’s all irreverent and an example of how self entered some people’s thinking is. Firstly, it’s not a mantra take home for plenty of people. Whether it is or not is irrelevant. Op has the money to spend. What that money equates to in other peoples lives, doesn’t matter. At all.

Op didn’t ask for opinions on whether she should spend it on a handbag. Didn’t ask what people would spend the money on.

But so many people feel the need to insert themselves into a conversation they (apparently) have no interest to tell people how the money could be better spent and why they wouldn’t buy a handbag. It’s peak self centred thought and actions. It’s just a good illustration of how self obsessed some people are.

The Op doesn’t want a trumpet. A trumpet would be a waste of money for the Op and many others. A handbag, however, will be something she uses and enjoys. But she didn’t ask for suggestions on what to buy. So a comparison of a trumpet is weird. It’s not relevant to the Op AND in this context would be a complete waste money.

The Op doesn’t want 40 or 50 bags. So again, not a comparison.

Great choice! Mine is my everyday bag and I've never regretted it.

Those banned apparel bags are absolutely revolting

@ClonedSquare we even have change out of the £1,500, so perhaps I'll put it towards my trumpet fund 🎺.

Givenchy Antigona. Get a bag with good resale

If you know bags then yes you clearly can tell the difference ffs.

These threads never fail to make me laugh with the holier than thou attitudes.

ffs if you dont have the money to buy a designer bag or have no interest in paying that much for a bag stay off these types of threads.

your condescending attitudes will NEVER change the mindset of those who can and want to buy such bags.

OP- enjoy your lovely new bag- I have the gucci disco camera bag and got it 7 years ago and its generally the only bag I use, its great to dress up and use it and to use it casually. Goes with everything And it’s still in great condition

Buying a fake bag is the immortal act, not buying the real one. Black economy, proceeds of crime, tax evasion etc etc

That dog posts in the Litter Tray explanation of how I've interacted incorrectly on this thread is the one I understood. Thanks.

I'm autistic so interacting "the right way" with people is congenitally not one of my life skills and I don't always understand people's explanation's of why I'm wrong either.

@VitoCorleoneOfMNMafia has just about finished me off with their utter tripe 😀

The Op's husband wishes to buy her something ( as a result of his recent bonus ) he may have suggested a bag ( if he knows she likes them / already has nice bags ) or she may have said a bag would be the gift of her choice.

It could have been a piece of jewellery that was being chosen, it wasn't.

The Op asked for suggestions.

She does not want fake ! why on earth would anyone suggest she spends this ' bonus ' money on a fake !!!

No one would have suggested a fake trumpet would they !!!

Which is something I’d never do. If someone who hasn’t the first clue about bags wants to assume I’m carrying a fake more fool them.

@VitoCorleoneOfMNMafia are you always so ridiculously self centred?
do you realise that literally nobody gives a shiny shit about what coats you can and cannot wear or what instruments you play? 🤣

This helps make sense of things x

People have different priorities sometimes. When I had money to spend (usually birthday and Christmas money) I often saved it up so I could buy a designer bag. It was what I preferred to spend money on back then, in my 30s. Considering that a few have gone up in value since then and I've sold some (were presents) I consider I've made an investment.

I also had money from inheritances, some was invested and with returns on that I chose to spend it on bags.

I'm now in a different place where expensive, designer bags don't mean a thing to me. My dream would have been a Hermes Kelly which I could've afforded but I was always put off by the long waiting lists.

She does like to piss on other people's chips a bit.

Perhaps, before interacting with others and saying unwise comments you should learn to engage your brain before your mouth a bit more. Then you won't have people coming back to you who are 'offended'.

I'm not being rude here, just trying to make a point.

Have you actually just told someone with Autism who has explained that this affects their communication and understanding to “engage their brain” before speaking - fucking hell!!!!

Oh how cute, lets throw being autistic into the mix. So's my son, so is myself and every man and their dog these days.

And now blaming being autistic for it. My son is autistic and so is myself.

She does this all the time. Says nasty comments to people, I am aware she has autism. It's like an excuse of hers.

I mean if you want to insult people, fine but don't use your autism as an excuse.

I know plenty of folk with autism. I didn't realise it meant you had a free pass to be unpleasant and rude and then, when having been unpleasant and rude, say ' but I've got autism so I don't understand.'

You clearly have no interest in designer bags. But you clearly have an interest in being rude and posting irrelevant shit on a post that just doesn't chime with you

Being autistic isn't a get out of jail card for being a dick. Would you go up to some random in the street be a knobhead them blame it on autism.

@Mouse82 no. But it would explain why the poster sees everything from their perspective and is somewhat persistent with discussing horned instruments. That's not being a dick.
