Good morning,

I have seen a Primark giraffe print bag on ebay (lots in fact), i'm just wondering if anyone knows how much they were originally in Primark?

I'm trying to decide whether its worth taking a trip to Norwich to see if they still have any in store...

Or if i should just buy one on ebay....

Many thanks....

    well if you live more than about 2 miles from Norwich the trip will cost more than the bag in Primark

    I've no idea how much it was originally but I find anything remotely popular is sold out pretty quick so I'd guess you're looking at a wasted trip.
    If its a small bag you're looking at a couple of quid, if its a big bigger I guess under a tenner. these are all "guesstimates" based on previous looking at prices.
    Unless you can get one for 99p plus postage and packing you'll probably end up paying over the odds.

    I think it was £12 in store, if I remember rightly, so the £15 ones on ebay are probably not too bad, as it was a fast sell-out item I believe. Good luck :)

    The Liverpool store still has lots of them. I went at the weekend an saw them. Didnt look at the pricetag sorry.

    Also Liverpool still have the union jack clutch bags too ( however at £6 i thought that was quite pricey for primark)

    Thank you all for your replies, i think i'll get one from Ebay, as knowing my luck my nearest store will have sold out, and by the time i've paid for petrol and parking it will be about the same...

    I saw it today too, £8! They had hundreds of the things. Not my style but they seemed popular.
