    Why would people buy a Karen Millen carrier bag?!!
    Seem to remember reading somewhere, it was because they are sometimes used to return items that have previously been shoplifted, so as to appear more genuine when requesting an exchange/refund. :confused: Not sure if that's true or not.

  • I always sell carrier bags on ebay and I send them in Jiffy Bags, not sure why people buy carrier bags but it helps my debt, im not complaining!

    And there's me thinking that you'd buy posh carrier bags so you could hide your 'cheap' (Primark) shopping in there and people would think you were rolling in it!
    It's wouldn't have not wouldn't of, shouldn't have not shouldn't of and couldn't have not couldn't of. Geddit?
