Here's a photo of the three bags I've bought my OH since Xmas. As a coinnoisseur, you will understand which is which.....I don't have to point out the Alpha! I've put my trusty EII's in the frame just to prove it's not a stock-shot (and to pretend that the post relates somehow to binoculars). Also I've no Alpha binos left 'cos I've had to pay for the bags somehow. Go for the Prada....yes, like binos, there is no single bag for all occasions, but it's a rush walking out of the store saying to yourself 'What's in this box is worth a pair of SV's!' Also, as a middle-aged grey-haired man, it's hilarious when you walk into the Store, carrying the big paper-shopping bag with 'Prada' written on it....the sales-clerks assume you're loaded and make a bee-line for you in the hope of a big sale. In one store, while I was carrying the new bag, a manager asked me if I'd like a coffee while I 'looked around'! I was dressed in my usual old beige and khaki birding-type clothes, but I chanced my arm and said 'I'd love a cappuccino!', so he sent a girl out to Costa Coffee to get me one! (I bought nothing).Actually the real buzz is knowing exactly what OH will love, even if she gives me hell for the expenditure.I'll have to check out the Fendis and Kiplings. Nothing too bling, but the furry monkey could be the deal-breaker for me.</blockquote>
