I've never spent money like that on a bag. I love the colour. Any glaring problems please?!

I tend to wear gold over silver which is what caught my eye...

I prefer the first one.
My only niggle would be that the shorter strap would annoy me but that's personal taste.

CheekyCherryColaCandy · 01/08/2025 19:04

I do too. I really like it.

Then if you can afford it, buy it 🙂
£76 for a leather bag is a good price, it's a good size and Osprey bags tend to last OK. Straps can easily be replaced if they get dirty/you don't like them, they're never a reason not to buy a bag you otherwise love! Sounds like this would make you happy and you'd enjoy using it.

Osprey are meant to be pretty good quality for the price point. That looks a nice bag. I wouldn’t buy that colour but not because I don’t wear that shade of pink as it washes me out.

if you know it will go with lots of your outfits, go for it.

I was eyeing off that one,

Love the pink, it’s a lovely bag

Vitrolinsanity · 01/08/2025 20:29

Osprey are great bags. That’s very purty and a great price. Do it Op!

BlueRabbitWasNaughty · 01/08/2025 22:46

I've got the same bag from a couple of years ago but in a bright pink/raspberry colour. It was also in the sale and I still use it daily so very good value.

I agree with the comments about the coloured strap looking cheap but I've never used it, the leather strap is plenty long enough to wear over the shoulder.

It's also a great size, go for it.

CheekyCherryColaCandy · 02/08/2025 18:17

I bought it. It has another 20% off so I got it for £75.

Thinks the white would go with everything
the pink is a bit pink not classy

CheekyCherryColaCandy · 02/08/2025 19:01

Oh well, I'm ok with that!

The blush pink is lovely.

victorianbaby · 02/08/2025 23:54

Gosh there's some lovely bags on here at great prices!

Beachbodyready · 03/08/2025 00:06

I had a bag that shape and it drove me mad - the opening was slightly narrower than the base so it was a pain finding stuff. I do tend to carry quite a lot of stuff in my bag (phone, diary, purse, keys, notebook) so it might be ok if you carry fewer things.

LemondrizzleShark · 03/08/2025 00:09

That option is by far the nicest
