Rushed to my local boots this morning to get the fcuk bag, and its looked amazing!

Was ready to go pay for it until i noticed an odd smell, is it just me or does anyone else reckon the bags smell a bit?


If you have brought a fcuk bag, then please comment if you think its smells odd (even if you think its just the mock leather).
I hope it is just the bags at our local, as i really want one.

:eek: Did notice a slight smell on my hands in town after buying mine but didnt connect it with the bag. As present from my mum to me have taken it straight there but will check. It is probably just a case of the plastic offgassing, this can happen for a while with plastic products until they are aired so I guess all newly unpacked stock may be prone to this. I wont worry as bought similar bag elsewhere for DD last year just aired the bag outside on a nice day and after couple uses smell went. Dont store it shut away for a while or wrap to soon. Hope that helps.

Hi, think you may be right there, my bag smeels ok but i previously bought a bag from M&S and it smelt really Fishy? But the smell did go after a while. No Fcuk bags left in my local but they have got the Elle bag on 342 and at £26 in its place, the sa and i had a laugh at how ridiculous it was that it was now cheaper than when on offer of the week :rotfl:. She also mentioned that apart from the Sanctuary and the Fcuk bag the ootw hasnt sold out like last year, now theres a surprise.:D She even went as far as saying they were trying to get rid of them, cause they just were not selling.

I got my FCUK bag this morning, its the only OOTW that I desparately wanted as soon as I saw it on the shelves with the Christmas gifts months ago .

I'm not that bothered for the contents, just love the bag! And I paid with points too, so its my pressie to me (I've been a good girl all year :rotfl:).

My local store had 250 of the bags in, but had sold out by this afternoon.

That's such a good idea BS. I like to use the points I gained on Christmas Shopping Evenings to get things for myself. I went to the 3 evenings, got 3600 in points, plus 2 bonus 500 points, so 4600 in all.

Buys some nice things in the 75% sale too - like £184 worth of stuff! :cool:

Think i fancy an fcuk bag but don't want a smelly one.

Not sure where. I went into two boots stores yesterday and noticed it was back up to £40 in both. It's also back up to £40 online

It was me that said it was still £18. I didn't buy it but the girl in the store (live in a small town so know everyone in there) told me that it was still £18 and had not gone back up on price. That was yesterday afternoon about 2.30.

I got mine this afternoon. The inside of it does smell a bit, but maybe that's from the chemicals they put on the pvc? TBH I didn't notice it until I read these posts and decided to check. I think it's lovely, and I'm really looking forward to using the stuff inside. I want another one now!! :rotfl:

My local Boots had sold out of the fcuk bags when I finally got there this afternoon - I really want one for my niece for Christmas. Can any of you Boots experts tell me if they will get more stock in? Or is that it, and I have missed it?

The SA could only repeat "We've sold out" in response to my asking her. I had sort of noticed...
