You know that if a hotel is called the "Quality Hotel" then ... it isn't.

Especially if they spell it "Kwality"

So if you're an ordinary girl, who can't sing, and you want people to think you're posh ... try calling yourself "Posh"

Okay up to a point.

But then you launch your range of bags, and price them at £895. Aren't you really saying ... thanks to my gullible fans for all your support, but you're never going to have one of my bags because you're all too poor. I'm wealthy and you lot are not, and I don't want people like you owning my bags. They are for my "new friends", the ones with more money than you lot, ha ha. Now go away and buy yourself a McDonalds, and get your grubby little hands off my bags, or the shop assistant will have to ask you to put it down.

So ... if you had £900 to spend ... would you buy one of "Posh" (ha ha) Spice's rather ordinary handbags?

Would I ?

Thinks, thinks, no.

[joggerjayne]

Oh, I got the price wrong.

I've just noticed that the rather ghastly red one is £1,530

[Tilly2]

No, I'll stick to my Radley bags, I think. I like the little Scottie.

[Dee Sa]

I am with you on this one jj.her brand should be named "Sour Puss".

[sandyRoe]

Burberry must be hoping she can get into the mindset of the Chavette and offer all the fashion requirements they'd need. Then they might be able to start and redeem their good name.

[murraymints]

NEVER ! Think it's obscene ....

[ummmm]

She hasn't named herself posh or even pretended to be posh. The media named the Spice Girls.

Would I buy one of her bags...absolutely not. Nor would I buy any designers handbags. Handbags are not my thing.

[lady-janine]

they go with her clothes and sour look on face and life. i can live without any of them.

[Maydup]

Exactly JJ, she'd do well to turn around and look at those who there to support her in the first photo.

[yogasun]

The one on the right of the picture doesn't look much different from one I got for 50p from a jumble sale!!

[ummmm]

Were they there to support her or were they there to celeb spot for the Glamour Women of the Year Awards?

Is this going to be another Victoria Beckham bashing thread?

[Quoi]

Thats not a sour face ..... thats an elegantly crafted pose for the cameras to make her look her BEST.

I dont do handbags - the stubble on my legs is a bit gruesome with stockings.

[DTCwordfan]

That's some diatribe against the Mekon...

I would prefer a Louis Vuitton if I was female, or a top Mulberry, or a ??? think of handbag brand - ah yes like my ties, Hermès

[naomi24]

I’m with DT on this. I like good handbags – but if I were buying one, it wouldn’t be one of hers. Chanel she ain’t!

[B00]

The bags themselves aren't my thing, far too girly, I prefer messenger bags, summet big and roomy to carry my crap around.

That being said, there's obviously a market for these type of bags even at that price, as Victoria (or her business manager presumably) has the savvy to probably already know that. So why not? If people can afford them, let the girl go for it and cash in on it.

[RATTER15]

With all that money she is making, you wouldnt think she was so hungry she couldnt eat, somebody throw her a sandwich, poor girl looks like an anorexic whippet!!

[emmie]

no i wouldn't buy one, but many will. I think some are simply jealous at her success, out of a little talent, has come an astute business woman, with a lovely husband to boot, i don't envy her, but i do think she gets a bad press.

[joggerjayne]

//Is this going to be another Victoria Beckham bashing thread?//

Thinks, thinks, yes.

[Sparkles62]

JJ I didn't have to think once, never mind twice.......the answer was no straight away. X

[Octavius]

Why would anyone spend that much for a bag 'designed' by anyone and made by some Chinese kids in a sweatbox?

[joggerjayne]

Actually, perhaps I'm being a bit hard on her. If a coach load of her fans, who spent their hard earned money on Spice Girls CDs, were to turn up in Los Angeles, would VB demonstrate her gratitude to her loyal fans by meeting them? or does she only want to mix with people who have lots of money? Has VB just become much much better than common people like that?

Actually, I'm probably doing her a disservice. Maybe she'd prove that she was very much in touch with her humble roots, by having them all round for a barbecue. I take it all back.

And just to show how much I've taken it all back, I'm going to save up for one of her bags.
