Handbags?

Does $90 seem too much for a handbag?

Normally I just have cheapy ones, but have never found one that I love to pieces until yesterday! I found a lady on eBay that makes these amazing fabric bags. She has a stack of different colour choices, patterns & combos to pick from and I've found a combo that I just love & the bag style is just what I want as well.

My only issue is that it seems like a lot of money for a handbag. It's not a brand name or anything at all, just a handmade pretty unique looking bag. I keep looking at it & thinking it would be absolutely perfect for me. Ooooh I don't know, I never spend this much on myself!!

If it is everything you have ever dreamed off for a bag then get it. Why not?. It isn't like you will be buying another next year (well you hope not lol)

Love

Go for it :) When was the last time you splurged on something for you... but you have to send me the link first :P Cos I'm a nosy parker ;)

I think $90 is quite reasonable for a unique, good quality handbag.

Alright nosy, there's an email in your inbox :nana:

The last time I brought a handbag was before I had kids LOL, and I think it was $80 for a Cobb & Co brand one. I have spent nearly that much on other bags though, like PVC covered totes etc, so I don't see a problem with it at all. And if next year you decide you don't like it, then put it away and use it again another time.

Do it. I am an accessory addict, and I think $90 is money well spent on a handbag! (PS Can you email her details? LOL! They sound gorgeous!)

Nothing finer than spending a bit on a little luxury for yourself Sarah......you deserve it! xx

Another thing i thought of too, even though it isn't a brand name, it is handmade so the quality would be a lot better than a commercially made bag similar to it.

I did it!! I just ordered it :) When it arrives I'll make sure I post some piccies for you guys.

Good on you Sarah. I am sure it will last heaps longer than other bags anyway so you can justify it as value for money. I know what you mean though as I would struggle to spend that much on myself too.

Now I want to buy another handbag! I love hand bags and I don't think you can ever have too many! Sounds like a great buy to me.

Caro I am like you - I spent crazy $$$ on an Oroton hangbag (bought a briefcase at the same time). It was a few years back and I found the receipt the other day and nearly cried - it's almost our car rego and insurance payment :(
So $90 isn't much for something you love :)

My bag just arrived & I'm most impressed :) It's exactly as I pictured it. The only thing is that it's massive, I hadn't realise, me being slack & not checking the dimensions properly LOL! All good though because it will be the perfect sized nappy bag when our next little bubba comes along. And I can even fit my macbook in there hehe.

Off to play with it & take some photos! Will upload some soon.

Looking forward to the piccy Sarah! Sounds wonderful!

Ooh sounds good Sarah, can't wait to see piccies!! (then I might just ask for the Ebay link LOL)

Okay here it is :) I think it's too big for an every day bag seeing as I don't need to take heaps of things for Zander all the time. But when we go out for a whole day it will be perfect :) Aaron says I should see if she'll make me the same but half the size for every day!!

I've also added on a picture of the matching wipes pouch and here with it all packed up ready to go. In the last photo you can see the Macbook fitting in perfectly!

Very nice Sarah!!! :) Hey that would be a good sized bag for uni.... hmmmmm... would you mind PMing me the seller details LOL? Does she have a large fabric range?
Love the matching wipes pouch too!

PMing now Ambah :)
