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.

@BreakfastAtMimis sorry I was rude.

I would go on vinted and find the bag for a 10th of the price then go the beach with the rest of the money and find myself some hot Spanish young man to appreciate my bag 💼

Maybe these threads should be titled like this: "A wizard has cast a spell on you. You must spend £1500 on a handbag. You may not resell it and spend the proceeds on a holiday. Which bag do you buy?"

I can see you don’t go much to primark, I do. I have 10 pounds fake leather bags that look really good that I’ve had in my closet for 5 years and I use a lot (fact is everyone asks were I bought those bags when I wear them). My summer bag from Carpisa in Oxford street cost me 3x and lasted me one summer. Yes there’s a lot of cheap tat in primark but sometimes you will find very nice clothes and bags for 2 pence that will last really long.

I definitely could have updated the original post to say that I have a holiday booked and a bag purchased, but I feel we'd really miss out on the comments that have made this thread quite entertaining.

For those invested, bag is 3 stops away via courier and I am excited!

We needs pics !

@beatrix1234 correct. Primark clothes would not look good with my Gucci/LV/Mulberry bags.

I always click on the handbag threads to see how many pursed lipped prigs have commented disapprovingly.

This one’s been a corker though.

Handbag threads definitely need to come with various caveats from the OP:

• Feck off if you’re going to suggest I spend it on a holiday
• Feck off if you’re going to suggest I go to Primark
• Feck off if you’re going to suggest I buy a bench
• Feck off if you’re going to suggest I buy a trumpet/euphonium/flugelhorn

@TheMurderousGoose

You missed out the vase !!!

The Package has arrived!

My initial thoughts are that I absolutely love it. The size is bigger than expected and will easily fit my dc's epi pen case (no more bulky bag on the school run etc). It looks and smells gorgeous. I don't think the pictures on the Gucci website actually do it justice. I am so pleased with it and can't wait to wear it out later. I've popped it on a shelf out of the kids' reach for now so my picture isn't too clear either (currently feeding ds to sleep in my dark bedroom!).

Thanks again everyone who sent recommendations and have enjoyed the thread as much as I have 😂.

@whitenoisemachine aww looks fab. Enjoy it whilst thinking of all of those holidays you could’ve gone on 😂

It’s very nice, but can you fit a trumpet inside?

@ShirleyPhallus thankfully not.

Gorgeous. Enjoy.

Maybe you can put a deposit down on a bench.

This is me right now. Teeny bag which definitely does not allow for trumpet- carrying activities plus an IKEA bag as suggested upthread which I confirm is useful but does not match my outfit at all 😂

You're not alone!

You do that then drop your docket. Put your money where your mouth is 😉

It's gorgeous OP. I think it will make a real difference to your life 😂

You (general you) can choose to spend ££15 or £1500. However it's not very classy to sneer at people who, as you put it , "have to shop at Primark"

The snobbery and sneering about Primark isn't very classy.

Why on earth would a luxury brand call itself Acne?

@Mouse82 I do and have done for a long time.

Go for something with very simple and understated logos - I say this only because big logos get copied more and there are more fakes around.

I personally adore Loewe and The Row bags.

oops i can see you've already bought it, glad you are happy with it..

Yes, I’m a “Primark snob” 🤣
