Another weekend, another outlet shopping experience... this time at the decidedly high end 'Bicester Village' near Oxford. No Cadbury's / Next / M&S shops here, but then again no Lindt either which is something of an oversight, one might think! No, this is a place to shop for TAG Heuers and endless, endless handbags!
First on the list was Radley, but as seems to be the way these days, the Radleys were mostly uninspiring and a little dull. Next we moved on to Lulu Guiness which had the usual mixture of nice stuff and outlandish and expensive 'couture'. Nothing here caught Rose's fancy either and so we were pinning our hopes on Kate Spade, which, truth be told, had a plethora of splendid baggery.
Among the appealing goodies on offer were several pink bags, including these two...
In the end, after some to-ing and fro-ing, Rose chose the second one, but in black (with a pink lining).
We also visited the TAG Heuer shop (of course) where I tried on a couple of things... first there was a Grand Carrera Calibre36 1/10 cronograph, reduced from £7,500 to about £5,500...
And then a Monaco 24, which was reduced from £10,725 to about £7,500! I have to say neither of them really excited me enough to wish I had the money to buy them, but if I had to choose I would have to say I preferred the Monaco. Both seemed quite light, but that could be because I was wearing my incredibly heavy Aquagraph. Also, neither of the clasps seemed to work very well, which was a bit of a concern on a watch costing that much money!
Actually there was some very nice F1's in the shop that were around the £1100 mark too.
One thing it did show me though was that I needn't worry about the Monacos or Carreras being too big for me because they looked just fine on my wrist.
I also managed to purloin another copy of the latest catalogue which I will give to Rich.
