The scary Primark sequin bag

I wanted to update all of you who made me brave enough to take my sequin Primark bag on the school run.

I am now very popular and seen as a style guru at school. Everyone comes up and comments, small people and pets stroke it lovingly. One lady chased me down in the tourist market to ask where she could get one. I used it when taking the car across the border to dazzle the powers that be and prevent them from asking me for an extra 20 dollars to 'import' the car. I used it to negotiate several bureaucratic moments and to broke the ice whilst bargaining some good market deals. It has even worked as a shimmering beacon as the sunshine bounces off it during school picks for my dc to work out where I am waiting for them. My mum came out to visit and took every opportunity to tell admirers that she was the one who bought it for me.

Everyone should have one. It's perfect for dealing with all sorts of difficult moments.

I officially now have bag envy.

I haven't been to Primarni for so long, I need to go and buy some Dolce and Gabargains!

It was all going so well until last week.

The totally frumpy, slightly eccentric lady with facial hair and older daughters turned up at school with the exact same one.

My confidence took a nosedive I can tell you.

i haven't used mine yet - it's a really odd shape

Themasterandmargaritas · 15/03/2010 17:25

You must try it SE, it needs to be weighted down a bit with some crap valuable items.

Booboo I am a million miles away from the UK. I thought I was safe.

Apparently it's not possible to machine stitch on sequins so the sequins on sparkly type items have been hand stitched, often by children who have small nibble fingers...

SuSylvester · 15/03/2010 18:57
