    Loads of great advice here. Definitely save your money for another treat.

    And To be honest I really don't like the colour! But that's just a personal taste thing!!

    £170 for a bag:eek:

    Go to the fake shops and get 4 or 5 for that money>

    Last fake I had lasted 2 teenage daughters a couple of uses and then it was bin or mum :j and then 1 year of use from me - cost to me £0 and a million compliments - to them £35 between them ........... Now they shop at Primark and can change their bags 2 - 3 times a week.
    Next carboot has 60 handbags in it from us:p

    Top shop do simila bag to this.

    I am going to come back in here, why would you buy a FAKE and pay that type of money for it, you must be crazy sorry. I hate fakes of anything to be honest with you. You can pass it off as real, but what for? Someone said wait for the Mulberry sale that is a grand idea, I adore Ferragamo, I buy alot online from eBay but I am totally clued up on what is and what is not fake as I have the real thing and know a fake a mile off.

    Ferragamo in January have a fantastic sale so if I wanted (which I dont) something I would go to his OFFICIAL online shop in January sale.

    I could never in my life warrant spending that type of money on a real handbag let alone a fake one sorry!

    Also do you realise it is illegal to sell fakes in this manner over the internet! and would you even get it, what a risk to take with your well earned money.:eek:

  • I've never understood why people pay ridiculous amounts for a handbag when it does exactly the same job as my current one from Primark - £9. I also never look at other women's handbags and think 'ooooh a designer bag' - lucky you', I couldn't care less. And to justify the cost, you'd have to use it and use it for years, by which time you'd be bored of it.

    My thoughts exactly - a bag is just that something to put things in - I'd rather have 10 to chop and change than 1 that I'd be too scared to use.

    WOW now that I not only like it is not a bad price either, well done you.

    I love vintage stuff, try eBay, just watch they are not fakes ,but you can normally tell, you check feedback from the seller, watch what else they are selling etc.

    Think of all that money you just saved!:T
