    I've been Money Tipped!
    I don't think you're being ungrateful. It's not so much the money but it's a lot of money for something you don't want or need. I have to agree I don't like it at all and it looks really similar to the sort of thing Primark do.

    Thank you you've made me feel a little better

    I'll have it :-) I'll buy it off you for £100. Well, it is second hand! I think you should graciously accept your gift. He has really tried, bless him.

    Maybe I am just old fashioned, but I think £250 on a bag?! :eek:

    £250 on a classically stylish, quality bag is a good investment. Unfortunately that bag is not.

    Well I guess life would be dull if we were all the same but I just can't see a bag of any description being a 'good investment'. It's just bag...to put stuff in.
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    I agree, but you can resell some no issues.

    Even if you've used it a lot? (Genuine question)

    I think so, if it's still useable as a bag (and more importantly looks good on the outside) then brands like Mulberry re-sell really well.

    Ok, thanks for the info. I don't really live on planet handbag: bit of a foreign world to me. The idea of anyone spending £250 on one...where's the 'having the vapours' smilie when you need it :D

    I don't have any expensive handbags either - would rather have jewellery or tech!

    Same. Each to their own. I would rather put £250 towards a laptop or a fancy camera (mine is 7 years old,) or a telly, or a holiday abroard. Certainly not a handbag. The most I would spend would be £25.

    Each to their own.
