Cath Kidson make up bags

I really fancy treating myself to one of these and the wash bags but they do seem expensive, however I think they will last a long time, they look quite sturdy and have pockets to put cotton wool and things in. Does anyone here have one?

    if it is made of their oilcloth material, I'd imagine they would be ideal for make up and toiletries, and would last a long time.

    I had a similar dilemma about buying myself a fossil weekend bag. I promised myself I could buy it if I a) used it and b) looked after it. The alternative was buying something that I didn't love as much that I would ultimately get bored of and end up replacing. Whilst the fossil bag was considerably more expensive, it will last me a hell of a lot longer and I love using it.

    if you'll get the use out of it and will look after it so that it lasts, it will essentially pay for itself over time IMHO.

    The make up bags are kinda small (or I have too much make up....)

    I have a pink spotty oilcloth washbag for my make up and its gorgeous. Highly recommended. I got mine in the sale and I think it was £10 or £12?

    Aye, her oilcloth fabric is very hardwearing and her stuff often appears on ebay.

    CK's designs are timeless so you could put the bag away when you're bored and get it out again 6 months later!
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.
  • I have one, it's great, I was given it as a present about 3 years ago and it is still going strong.
