Transparent Bag?

What do you think of a transparent bags?
In this case small messengers or like a camera bags?
Are these wearable as normal bag or is it just some moment of madness and they look like a wash bag?
I quite like this one but I m not sure if it’s acceptable actually to show anything in your bag to public..LOL!

Probably a hideous idea anyway.

Absolutely not.

mdinbc · 21/06/2024 20:47

I wouldn't.

WePanickedAtTheDisco · 21/06/2024 20:49

I like them 🙈

mynameiscalypso · 21/06/2024 20:51

I don't know how many people want to see my collection of disintegrated tissues, a million hair ties and empty wrappers from DS' snacks.

WindowViper · 21/06/2024 20:58

My bag is full of spare sanitary towels, broken pens and receipts. No one needs to see that.

Scissorsisters · 21/06/2024 21:06

Only reason to have one is going to eg Wembley Stadium when a clear bag is mandatory.

Although I did have a a clear school bag once, back in the day and I loved it.

MissSookieStackhouse · 21/06/2024 21:11

Yeah, I agree with posters above. I don’t want all my rubbish on display! And even if my bag was full of expensive stuff like a designer purse, top of the range phone, designer sunglasses or other nickable items, I’d want them on display even less! Might be ok for a beach bag I suppose.

Butterflyfern · 21/06/2024 21:13

The only times I've seen one "in the wild" there has been a normal handbag inside. Almost used as a way to protect a nice handbag I suppose

Fiery30 · 21/06/2024 21:15

I don't like it at all. Mainly for security purposes. Also, don't find it stylish.

Junesuns · 22/06/2024 08:57

Thanks all for your input. I would just wear to the car, like a school run etc..
To be honest the free accessories which comes with the bag are worth more than the actual bag so I will buy it and use the bits for my other bags..

Emperor's new clothes bag

FartingAgainstThunder · 22/06/2024 12:45

I would use one as an insert for my actual bags.
So that all the bits I need every day could be transferred between different bags easily, would be very handy when using a large tote/shopper style bag for example.

It doesn't look good as a bag on it's own in my opinion but if you want to wear it, go for it, it doesn't matter what other people think.

Mercurial123 · 22/06/2024 12:49

It's awful. I'd expect to see it in the sale with at least 70% off.

I can up that with anusol and thrush cream. Nice for all that to be on show

allmyown · 22/06/2024 12:51

People dont buy them for the way they look, people buy them for when venues specify they will only allow transparent bags

allmyown · 22/06/2024 12:53

and you don't need to buy an expensive festival approved bag - I bought a clear exam pencil case, hole punched it to give attachment points, and put a lanyard on it to put it over my shoulder

Andnowshesatoddler · 22/06/2024 13:03

Id think you worked in sports direct or somewhere they bag check you.

WhataPithy · 22/06/2024 13:50

I had a transparent handbag in 98-99! I loved it 😅

AnnaMagnani · 22/06/2024 13:56

I've got a see-through of those for when I visit a high security prison.

Not considered it a fashion statement before.

Normallynumb · 22/06/2024 14:03

No. I wouldn't want to show off the contents plus too easy for a thief

LoobyDoop2 · 22/06/2024 16:45

This takes me back! They had a moment in about 1993 and I was very pleased with mine. I bought a whole load of vinyl purses- I think some were actually pencil cases- to put everything in so my tampons, tissues and unpretty crap were not in display to the world.
