Radley bag!!!

[butterfly child]

I love Radley bags, but they are often a bit too "grown up" for me..

Until I saw this..



I think I'm in love. It has a "zoom" thing which made it fucking impossible to click & drag over the larger pic, but that can be found here:

Talk me out of buying it, people. And don't bother using the price, that won't be enough

Just get it.

 

[foamy]

i prefer it in brown.

that doesnt help, does it?

 

[Looby]

I don't really like Radley bags, that one is ok but I agree with foamy it's nicer in brown.

I don't think £300 for a bag is ridiculous if you really love it.

Sorry, that wasn't much help either.

 

[butterfly child]

I don't actually own a brown bag.. but I can see it's appeal.

Still prefer it in red.

This tickled me.. thought I'd have a gander on Ebay, and there is one featured item.

They've described it as a "grub" bag.. puts me in mind of my mum saying to a colleague "Oh, you've got a Bradley bag! My daughter likes Bradley bags!"

Are they the ones with a little leather dog on the zip fobs an that?

That's the ones, I have a black one although I don't think I've ever taken it out of the house. I do intend to use it one day though, maybe when I am old.

I wouldn't pay £300 for that one though, you could get a Mulberry for £395.

You do realise that it's responsible for reducing your handbag turnaround by 10%

Nice bags but too pricey. If I got one, I think I'd have to remove the dog tbh.

I took it off as well. Same with Kipling bags, I take the monkey off. I'm 42, don't need to walk around with a furry monkey hanging from my bag!

Twee leather dogs are a bit rubbish, but furry monkeys ... wtf!

I don't actually like Mulberry though.

I just showed Mr BC the bag..

"Innit gorgeous?"

"Umm..." He peered at the price...

"No! No it is not!"

 

[Geri]

I don't actually like Mulberry though.

This one is beautiful:

But it's £695!

Hmm.. not my taste. Too big, and I don't like gold effect (or even proper gold, come to that) fastenings.

And you can buy many Radley bags for that price (and even TWO of my lovely red one!)

Ermm the handle doesn't look very practical - you wouldn't be able to put it over your shoulder.....

 

[moose]

It'll last for years, though. I've had 2 of the across-body bags for nearly 5 years now (daily use including foul weather and festivals), and they're still going strong.

I take back what I said in Geri's rucksack thread about not noticing that Butterfly Child also had a 'bag thing'

It's not a bag to put on your shoulder...?

As it happens, I prefer grab bags, as shoulder straps always fall off my shoulder. I have the odd one which goes across my body, and a couple of schoolbags that go on my shoulder, but most of my bags are grab bags.

It made me LOL when I saw it

i'm 25, if i could afford a Kipling bag, i would get it exclusiely for the furry monkey

BC, that bag is gorgeous, especially in red

I like the monkeys.. I keep hoping they'll do one with the same name as me

omg, I love this, I have to have it!!

I gave one called Lesley to a woman at work called Lesley.

I had one called Michela once, that was the nearest one to my name.

£300!?!

Quite a nice pattern, but the handles don't look like they'll last long enough to spend £300 on it tbh.

I agree - it's quite a big bag, so it would get quite heavy if you filled it up, and the handles are quite small and don't look as if they would take the load.

She should get a nice sturdy rucksack instead.

Rucksack?!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111

I do not fill my bags up, that is why I don't buy those fucking sack like bags that so many people seem to think so much of..



All I want to put in my bag is my wallet, my coin purse, my keys and my phone. Oh yeah, and a hankie.

Ah, see I can't cope with grab bags...but as you like them, I can't think of any other reason for discouraging you from the pretty bag. So really you should buy it
