    That Adidas one is pretty nice, looks like a satchel but nice styling. Better than the hideous gold "Just do it" plastered all over the first bag...

    I agree, it's nice to have a gym bag that looks good! And wootball... I hate to say it but there are girls at the gym who check out each other's clothes/shoes/bags etc. What can I say it's female competition!!! Obviously you don't have to care about it but it is nice to have a bag you like. :)

    I really like the style of the original one although not necessarily the pattern. But if you like it you should go for it! Or if you can't find a bag you like, why not just use a large handbag? I do that when I go swimming, and just chuck all my wet stuff in a carrier bag inside it, then sort it out when I get home.

    Edit: I've just seen that you're going to the gym before work, so I guess it's probably best not to use a handbag so your trainers etc aren't sitting in it all day.

    I like it. It's different & personal.

  • Or how about something like this? It's a gym bag but is more 'handbag' looking:

    Or this one which is the same style but not patterned, looks a bit more like a sports bag:

    http://store.nike.com/gb/en_gb/#l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-300/pid-325415/pgid-389600

    Or you could just go for your original choice, seriously if you like it you should just get it. We're not here to decide for you, just to give our opinions :)

    How can a mass produced Nike bag be different and personal?

    I would say you obviouly can't like it much as if I see a bag I like I don't need a second opinion.

    As you're online why not check out ebay - thousands of various sorts to suit all tastes.

    I think she means because most people will have a gym bag that looks typically like a gym bag iyswim. Choosing something like this will add a personal slant to the choice, thus making it a bit different to the norm.

  • I'm not keen on it.. sorry!

    Have you seen the weekend bags that Primark sell?

    I use something like this for the gym -

    It cost £6 I think, and is surprisingly good quality!

    I prefer mine. Cheap, cheerful and fits with my gym motto 'every little helps':
