Only buy it if you intend to place it in the wicker basket of your vintage sit up and beg bicycle on your way to the local farmer's market wearing a floaty skirt and an enigmatic smile on your face, while your children are messing about in rockpools with your ever so handsome hands on dad of a husband (who now has masses of time on his hands after he cleverly sold his start up IT company just before the banks crashed and now need never work long hours again) wearing a Navy Guernsey and rolled up chinos...

Oh sorry - I'll stop fantasising now

Looks like something you would get in superdrug - eeww

MrsMerryHenry · 26/02/2009 14:52

If you want to look like a tasteless moron with no financial sense, buy it.

(will that do? )

citronella · 26/02/2009 15:03

No, sorry. It looks like something from the seventies. Not seventies revival but seventies relic.

PlumpRumpSoggyBaps · 26/02/2009 15:37

superdrug and Marthasmama- care to join me in the 'Tasteless Morons With No Financial Sense' room?

It's quite an exclusive club.

WouldYouCouldYouWithAGoat · 26/02/2009 15:42

lol @ willali

i love those bags but would never buy one cos folk would look at me and think look at how much money she wastes on cath kidston shite. i would buy it in a art fair or someplace less comercial.

TheThoughtPolice · 26/02/2009 15:43

I prefer the boaty verson

TheRealMrsJohnSimm · 26/02/2009 15:44

Vile. And Far Too Expensive.

Two fashion crimes in one go.

Spend your money on something beautiful instead

WouldYouCouldYouWithAGoat · 26/02/2009 15:45

wait for the sale and buy it.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 26/02/2009 15:46

What Anna said

bamboostalks · 26/02/2009 15:47

willali It is like you have invaded my private fantasy life. I feel slightly violated.

beanieb · 26/02/2009 15:48

what on earth do you like about it? it's horrid IMO

EldonAve · 26/02/2009 15:55

it is horrid (sorry)

PlumpRumpSoggyBaps · 26/02/2009 15:56

But WHY is it horrid?

(wails disconsolately)

pagwatch · 26/02/2009 15:57

you should buy it. It looks like it has plently of room for HRT tablets, your glasses, incontinence pads and an ear trumpet.
You will be quite the cool cat at the WI

EldonAve · 26/02/2009 16:00

it looks like a tablecloth

WouldYouCouldYouWithAGoat · 26/02/2009 16:00

sniggers @ pagwatch and hastily pushes ck knitting bag under the settee

kidcreoleandthecoconuts · 26/02/2009 16:01

Dont buy it, it's vile.

ABetaDad · 26/02/2009 16:01

My Grandma had a sofa that smelled of wee and it had a pattern on it exactly like the one on that bag.

sockmonkey · 26/02/2009 16:02

It would clash with everything that you wear. It's very expensive. Don't do it!

ThePellyandMe · 26/02/2009 16:04

Don't do it, it's really hideous.

LauriefairycakeeatsCupid · 26/02/2009 16:06

I like it

but I'm a taste-free-moron who realised she's dressed in the same clothes as 20 years ago when I was a student earlier today
(not literally the same clothes you understand but leggings and a tunic top)

piratecat · 26/02/2009 16:08

eww not nice

MadameCastafiore · 26/02/2009 16:09

It is vile - save up and buy a nice leather bag that will last you for years and you won't look a prat carting it about!
