it's all the perfect size for someone to nick and not be noticed much.

LisaLessLumpy · 22/09/2008 07:34

It's boring, overpriced and you are being blinded by the name. There are far nicer bags out there for that price

this one is much nicer imo

piratecat · 22/09/2008 07:39

yes it's the name. take away the name and i you could find something like that much much cheaper. Iknow it's 'about' the name, but it's not even very nice imo.

Flier · 22/09/2008 07:49

don't do it, you're being blinded ny the name. It is a nice bag, but you could get something similiar (or nicer) on the high street for a lot less dosh.

lapin - dc1 has had it! Not sure how to wear dress...mckenzie, am in Kent, so will assume I get your vote! Can't do 'leatha' as dd has decreed it cruel and evil. Coast bag lovely, but no-one will go 'oooh' in an impressed manner if I put it on the table, whereas angling the lulu logo towards them...am v shallow.

Nice but well overpriced. You're paying for the name.

clumsymum · 22/09/2008 13:57

I think it's very ordinary for that price.

But then, I don't wear/carry things with the designer name on. I expect companies to pay ME if they want me to advertise them.
I'm not going to pay them to become a walking ad for them.

NomDePlume · 22/09/2008 14:02

Buy it

bellabelly · 22/09/2008 14:13

I hink it is too ordinary looking. Would you still LOVE it at that price if it wasn't Lulu Guinness?

stroppyknickers · 22/09/2008 15:49

oh. maybe the one with the lipstick instead of the catch? tried coast but need something a bit flashy for this 'do'. also bought bag in boros but now hate it. Pink and gold. what was i thinking!

This thread will end up in press - Dail;y Mail or Times...

PoorOldEnid · 22/09/2008 16:28

I can think of better ways to spend 125

Cappuccino · 22/09/2008 16:29

stroppyknickers · 22/09/2008 16:31

Please stop monkeytrousers! Wish to remain anonymous shopaholic type person.

expatinscotland · 22/09/2008 16:37

my chief objection to it is that it is banal and not very exciting, as bags go.

stroppyknickers · 22/09/2008 16:38

but, it will match my outfit, and everytime i do exciting, it turns a bit chav

it's a bit dull for Lulu Guinness and not worth blowing that amount on

Carmenere · 22/09/2008 16:43

Agree this thread is ripe for some cheap misinterpreted 'research' for a DM journo

wonderstuff · 22/09/2008 16:44
