Oushka bags

[LetThemEatCake]

my Oushka bag came today and I'm v v v v v impressed. Bag satisfaction at last!!

I said I'd post if there was a discount code against a later purchase - sadly no, but I'm after the Phoenix for Xmas anyway.

Hope all of you other ladies who were hankering after a Phoenix get yours too!

and a big thank you to the wise mumsnetter who linked to Oushka on my other bag thread

Great

what happened to the Margiela one, is this a replacement for that?

I have a lovely oushka bag, it's a most yummy shade of milk chocolate It has a very clever strap that can't be shortened or lenghtened so it can be hand, shoulder or messanger style.

I like the Phoenix too, I love a bag in a good colour.

How are your 3? My 3 have had swine flu all week, glad it's nearly over and we are all in one piece. Was thinking I deserve a little reward for being such an attentive nurse

oh i like oushka bags. i have a huuuuuuuuuuge one it got in tk for 40 quid. bargain. they are really nice leather.

Oh Verity, you poor thing, how horrible! My 3 are fine - C has a snotty nose, L has an old man's cough (horrible to hear in a 9 week old) and P is, in typical female fashion, impervious to it all - made of sterner stuff!!!

You definitely deserve a treat I'm in retail frenzy yet again but only because it's C's 2nd birthday next week, so it's party-tastic time.

The Margiela had a dodgy zip so it went back. I also think that traceybath was right when she said that black bags lack wow - she's right, no matter how £££, they just don't seem to have it in the spades that I wanted. The grey Oushka is a lovely colour and such a great price, loads of fab compartments and plenty big enough to lug all of my kids' stuff (it's the Portapotty that throws a spanner in the works of most bags)

Which Phoenix would you get? am torn between the pink and plum.

Hoxtonchick - wow, very jealous. Finally made the journey to TKs last week and was underwhelmed by the bags. Managed to spend over £100 on other stuff though (only £5.99 on me, I hasten to add - snowboarding socks)

Plum is lovely, but I think I'd go for the pink!

I was just saying to a friend the today, you go into TK Maxx in the hope of unearthing some amazing designer piece at 70% off, don't find one but still come home with bagfulls of stuff you didn't really need, but couldn't leave behind because they were such bargains.

Actually maybe that's where I'll go once the dc are back at school! Under the guise of Christmas shopping of course.

I want Brunton Phoenix and duke.

what colours geordie?

Brunton in chocolate, Pheonix in plum, Duke in ash oh and the Oakley in grey...
