I had a mental list of possible purchases, the lanvin chain flat gladiator sandals, a Angolmania Westwood dress, black heeled sandals and a black bag.
The Lanvins weren't reduced, the dress wasn't in my size, hardly any choice for black heels below £200, then I saw the bag.
Ever since my Chloe Heloise went on ebay (I only sold it because the rivets holding the handles on kept coming loose) I have wanted a new black one, but there wasn't much choice and price is more of an issue than it was when I used to have quite "high end" bags hanging off my arm, so when I saw this one, reduced to £172, it seemed like such a bargain (which it wasn't, only 30% off), was a great size (I love a Tote) and I liked the chain handles, so I quickly bought it without thinking.
Its nice and roomy, has loads of pockets inside (see how I'm trying to convince myself) but at the end of the day, it may sound a bit snobbish, but its DKNY. The smell of leather is intoxicating and it is so soft, but will I use it? I so love my LV Neverfull, but should I keep thi,s just incase? what do you think? Did I do the right thing spending the Family Allowance on it? OK don't answer that last question.....
Of course if I had had over £500 to spend, I would have bought this, without question....
Alexandra Wang Rocco now £522 at net-a-porter but sadly I didn't. I only usually get bags as a combined Birthday and Xmas present, roll on December and the January sales!
Well it looks a bit 'ordinary' and you don't seem to be heartin' it so....methinks back.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great bag!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't love it then don't keep it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with DKNY???
ReplyDeleteIf you love it keep it, if unsure save the money towards one you really like.. simples xxx
I know what you mean - you bullied yourself into a purchase. Can you send it back?
ReplyDeleteIf you have to convince yourself then i think money would be better spent on something else! But then I am not really an expensive handbag sort of girl I always opt for the non designer mid range ones.
ReplyDeleteOh dear...I hate doing that ( well...distant memory) If you're not happy you're probably not going to use it are you? It looks lovely and soft. X
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice bag, but you gotta love it to keep it, save the money towards to a bag you really want! x
ReplyDeleteIf you don't love it - send it back. Otherwise it's just clutter and you've wasted your money.
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm with the others who suggest that you obvs aren't convinced or you wouldn't even consider sending it back. I think it's a nice bag - but if you dont love it and you don't need it, what's the point of keeping it?
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I know EXACTLY what you mean about it being DKNY. Send it back, save the money and put it towards a bag you LOVE. That's my two penn'orth!
ReplyDeleteAnd I say 'ditto'! If you don't love it, send it back and spend the cash on something that makes your soul sing ;-)
ReplyDeleteAli x
If you are considering it only as "ok" - send it back ... keep the money aside for the next sale -and get a bag that you truly "heart". Let us know what you end up doing; HHL
ReplyDeletethats a really nice bag!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about DKNY - send it back, save the money and get something fabulous on The OutNet! Or maybe net-a-porter will put more reductions on their sale, they normally do! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the DKNY bag (are you being a bag snob Mrs Fab?!?) but if you don't utterly love it then send it back pronto and save the money! xx
