As my regular readers will know, I’m always on the hunt for a bargain, and last week something special caught my eye through the window of my local Oxfam charity shop – a gorgeous little bag with a rabbit motif on the front.  Unfortunately the shop was closed, but I knew I needed that bag, so the next morning I whizzed on down to buy it, with my fingers firmly crossed in the hope that it hadn’t already been sold.  Luckily it hadn’t, and I was surprised to find that a) it was an ASOS bag (I half expected it to be from Primark), and b) it looked brand new!

A quick Google search revealed that, though ASOS no longer stock this bag, it was quite a popular design last Autumn/Winter, and cost £20.00 on their website, and is regularly being sold on eBay second-hand for close to that.  I paid the small sum of £4.99 for mine, which I’m very pleased with considering it looks new!

The bag itself is made of mink coloured faux leather and is also lined.  It has a nice sturdy shape to it and is accented with gold corners and, of course, that beautiful little rabbit motif.  The strap is long so it fits across the body, and adjusts with a buckle.  I just love it, and though it’s not a colour I’d usually wear, it’s neutral enough to go with almost anything.

What do you think of this thrifty find?
