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.

Buy one for me and ejoy, I just spent $500 to hire a skip for the weekend 😑

I can’t afford a £1.5k bag, but then I drop £400 a month on a combo of dog insurance and doggy day care for 3 days a week I work.

perhaps the puritanical pack will be along to tell me to put her down and get stick insects which as just as good and more practical.

I think handbags in particular are seen as statements of wealth. (Like cars) The more you spend the better off you are among certain circles.

I personally would think I was being flash spending that much. My friends and family would be disgusted also.

Ah but no one who knows would need to see an embellished name.

What horrid friends and family you have and how would they know?

So you'll go up to some random in the street and tell them face to face.
The internet is real to you know, not some land of the make believe. Do better.

A carrier bag the way the prices are increasing

Oh this thread has been comedy gold! I particularly love the poster who suggested going onto the holiday threads and telling them to buy a bag instead 🤣. Seriously though it is astonishing that a handbag thread can bring out such virtue signalling, purse lipped prissiness.

OP I love your Gucci - enjoy using it!

😂😂

Tbh @FancyBiscuitsLevel they will usually tell you to buy a retired greyhound instead.

yolo

its all fun and games until you’re in the hospital getting your stomach pumped*

*if you make it as far as the hospital. The way these threads go it’s unlikely

@Notthrowingawaymyshot42 strange that they would be disgusted in you choosing what to do with your own money.

Fwiw, I'm not wealthy, I'm comfortable, mortgaged and I teamed my bag with a pair of trousers from Poundland yesterday. ✌️

I'm amazed that the thread is still going 🤣.

The gift that keeps on giving?

Well that just sounds miserable, like your social circle is Mean Girls meets Savonarola: “On Wednesdays, we have a bonfire of the vanities!”. Will take a hard pass on those ‘friendships’.

If my friends and family spend their own money on something that makes them happy, I’m genuinely happy for them.

Lol

Regina George meets Savonarola. What a mash up!

Regina would have terrorised the good people of Florence.

@Notthrowingawaymyshot42 ahhh you see I completely disagree. I think this is where the thread has taken a turn for the worse... it's a handbag personally I wouldn't even give it the time of day! It could be fake for all you know. You can't assume anything! Even if it was a genuine bag... the same applies.

thought this might come in handy

@WouldURatherWinkieOrFinger That's brilliant!

Brilliant 😊!

How unpleasant and judgemental of them. They probably spend money on stuff others would think is a waste of money.

🤣🤣🤣😫😫

completely agree made me lol

Same. Definitely getting a new one. Can’t decide on tote, which I would use for work so plenty of use out of it. Or something for occasional use.

But after reading this thread I definitely feel I’m the mood for a hand bag that costs the same a trumpet.

@RosesAndHellebores

My friends and family are really lovely people. My Dad in particular is a child of the Second World War and grew up with an ethos of not expecting much and making do. He would be appalled and disappointed if I spent this much on a handbag.

I have inherited some (not all) of his common sense in terms of living sensibly in terms of material goods. I am proud of him and myself in this regard.

If you post a thread like this (controversially flash) on a site like Mumsnet you should expect a challenge or two.

Love the bingo card btw made me laugh out loud!

@Notthrowingawaymyshot42 oh just like my mother then. A very sensible lady who loves beautiful things and refrains from disgust.

I didn't post the thread btw.
