Sigh. It would be so easy to slide into a life of crime.

SophieM, 28 August, 2008 at 17:34 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 26

We have a handbag in the office for a photo shoot. It's so totally beautiful and I am going to cry when we have to give it back. I was imagining just now taking it home with me and blaming the cleaners ? I'm sure I wouldn't get caught.

Unfortunately I could never do this, because:

a. I would keep imagining how my father would feel if he know, and

b. I would never be able to use the bag in case anyone saw me (it is a very distinctive bag).

Woe is me ??

    Well you might not be able to take it out but you could admire it in the privacy of your own bedroom could you not?

    Steal it and sell it. Buy less distinctive but also pretty bag with the cash. I won't tell your father if you don't ...

    Whose bag is it (designer) and do you have a link so we can admire it also?

    That's true, Minerva. I could parade in front of my mirror carrying it, and maybe wear it out to discreet curry-houses in Tooting ?

    Here is the bag of beauty.

    I don't really care about the cleaners tbh - they have a nasty habit of nicking anything they can possibly explain away by saying: "We thought it was rubbish!". They stole a full packet of cigarettes off my desk a few weeks ago.

    LOL .. you clearly missed the handbag thread where we were drooling over £17k bags!

    Although some of them were hideous and I wouldn't have paid second-hand shop prices for them ?

    Hmmm, I'm trying to work out who you work for (in a non-stalkerish way - I work on the other side of the fence, namely PR). Just in case I've been trying to fob my clients' tat onto you and annoying you, that's why ?

    Very possibly. Or else I have been annoying you trying to get you to send me your clients' tat and you have refused. ?

    I often think that it would be good to turn to crime. TBH, I think most criminals are not the sharpest tools in the box and lots of crimes are committed without any planning or thought, and yet most crimes go unsolved. If you're bright and willing to make a bit of an effort, I bet it's easy.

    Swoon and double swoon ?

    Wouldn't it be fab to afford those prices and not think twice about buying such loveliness!

    Do NOT become a criinal for something the colour of a post box. It's just so wrong.

    I'm a bagaholic - but with Rache on this one - it is a strawberry - Zagliani bags I prefer in metalic colours.

    Primark have a looky likey one , as featured in a magazine.

    [shrugs off accusations of being so bored as to get back to page 10 in hitched browsings]

    it's not my kind of bag to be honest, but considering i'm currently swooning over my new bag, i think my tastes are decidedly downmarket ?

    it's the purple dita bag, i can't get it to give me a direct link, curses. but £35 is indeed more my level.

    I can't get out of my head that it's basically half a dead ostrich! It doesn't look like it's worth £3K+. I don't think it's worth doing bird for that bag. Bird. Ostrich. Did you see what I did there? ?

    I'll get me coat ...

    That bag is criminally ugly - steal it for parading around your flat and save our eyes ?

    Given I know you have good taste it must look better in real life? Yes? ?

    Not doing it for me either I'm afraid. I think it is rather ugly. Surely they are having a laugh with a price tag like that?
