I have £2k for a beautiful bag - which one, though?

[RedPandaFluff]

I am fortunate enough to have been given £2k by a very dear relative and instructed to treat myself to a new handbag.

This will be a treasured item (because of the person I will always associate with it) and a massive, unprecedented splurge.

So . . . what do I get? I want beautiful quality rather than the usual brand names . . . and not a work bag, as I work from home. A small crossbody, probably. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Great update Op. Gorgeous bag and I love my Puzzle. Fab choice! 👍🏻 And what a lovely gift from your relative and what a lovely way to remember them. 🫶🏻

It probably will become an addiction though! (A bloody great one though 😂)

Lovely bag. Great choice.

I'm really pleased you updated your post and have gone for the mini puzzle bag. It is gorgeous and definitely on my wishlist!

She is beautiful lovely colour

Lovely, enjoy OP!

I absolutely love it.

What a beauty OP. And a fantastic pre-loved one too 👍

Superb. Enjoy it. Have loved your thread @RedPandaFluff.

Why @Lollapalo ?

Why continuously comment so negatively on a thread that is clearly of no interest to you?

@RedPandaFluff I'm so glad you love your final decision bag, it will serve you for years and will always the memory of the reason you bought it.

Gorgeous. Great choice.

Great choice @RedPandaFluff. A bag is such a personal thing. I have some designer bags (probably now considered vintage) that I've had for years and they still thrill me when I use them. I hope you get the same pleasure every time.

Another vote for the Loewe puzzle bag, I lust after one of those!

I am very tempted (when I get some money to spare:-) Where did you buy from OP ?

Looks lovely. Enjoy 😉

I love designer bags. They are so well made and last for ages. I've still got a Burberry bought 20 years ago and it's hardly worn outl

My post got deleted for saying I didn’t like it! What guidelines have I broken - ‘insulting a bag?’

No you've been deleted for relentlessly commenting in a manner that is unwanted, unwarranted and unnecessary. So basically trolling.

So, if I don’t agree with others on the post, you’ve reported it? Do you do this on all posts where people don’t agree with your POV?

bizarre

No, you are just attempting to derail the thread.

Why is there always one that comes on to a light nice enough thread and have to try put a dampener on it?

Can you never just be happy for someone else?

There is a difference between disagreeing with someone's style choices and constantly disparaging a gift idea that a terminally ill relative has decided to give.

This isn't AIBU and the question was not should I buy a bag? It was which bag.

There should actually be a "being a total killjoy" category in the MN guidelines for deleting a post IME

OP, enjoy your bag I am VERY jealous and I hope it brings you joy
I will be getting an inheritence soon and I will use some of it to buy something stupidly expensive that I love and that I know would have made my Mum smile when I showed it to her

This. Half these posters must be bots or very lonely people

There's having a different POV, and then there's posting for no reason other than to piss on someone's chips.

Oh ffs 🤦‍♀️
