Should I buy a new handbag?

[stardust777]

The case for..

• I've had my eye on it for over a year
• I don't have a bag like it
• It's reduced in the sale - £340 to £180

The case against

• I'm saving up to renovate my home next year
• My emergency fund only has two months expenses in it
• It feels more 'want' than 'need'

Always. HTH.

Your first two reasons against, would be enough for me not to buy it

😂

Just do it…it will make me feel better that someone else caved.

Hmmm.....are you going to regret buying it, or are you going to regret not buying it?

Show us a picture/link

It depends what it’s for, wether you already have one that will work, how long it will last, or wether you will want a different one after a few years

I don't want to link it in case it sells out.

It's leather and could go with both formal and casual outfits.

It's small (could only fit in keys, purse and phone etc.). I think I'd use it after a few years as it is a classic style.

If you think just linking it on here would make it sell out, then you'd better snap it up while you can. Sounds like a good reduction.

Yes!!!

If it’s reduced in the sale then it will be gone forever once it’s sells out. If you’ve wanted it for a year I would buy it as you must really like it to still be interested in it after 12 months.

Buy it buy it buy it!!!

Yes

Yes

I would get it because you’ve obviously wanted it for a while and it’s not a spur of the moment decision

Do it. Life is waaaay too short. You’re never going to be on your deathbed regretting spending £180 on a bag.

Yes! That is such a great saving. Did you buy it? Share a pic once you have!

Also you’ve been considering it for a year. It’s not an impulse. If it arrives and you don’t like it just send it back but at least you will know

A bag will give you far more pleasure than a drain pipe ever will.

Thank you all!

I've just bought it:

@CocksBolingey and @FormerlySpeckledyHen words spoke to my heart wallet

Nice! Did you buy the maroon one? It's a lovely colour.

👏 need a link now!

Yes, I got the red one.

I've also failed to resist temptation from H&M just now. The extra 15% off sale got me 😔

My 2026 resolutions are writing themselves at this point.

Oops . Missed the link 🙄

It’s beautiful op, glad you went for it
