I'm thinking of treating myself to a loungefly bag/ backpack but have never bought one before are they worth the extra money ?? and can you get much inside one ?

I’ve never been a fan of advertising companies for free, let alone the Disney corporation. Rip off every time.

No idea what they are or what they look like

These are for girls children, yes?

BlueBelle Wed 22-May-24 21:04:12

Well I wouldn’t want cartoons on a backpack ta
Not a fan of Disney apart from kids stuff

I love mine. It’s well made and holds what one needs for a day out.

Don’t worry about other people making fun of them - the bags obviously are not for them! The older I get the less I worry about others opinions on things I like.

£48.99 ???? What is wrong with an ordinary backpack. Why pay to advertise Disney.

Not into having a child’s bag on my back and paying £50 for the pleasure
Why ask then summerlove ?

Aren’t they for children?

I don’t own one but have seen them on a great site called TruffleShuffle. I’d say they are for the young and young at heart.
Various sizes always colourful and quirky. They often have sale items on the site I mentioned.

I agree with summerlove.

Wear and buy what makes you happy

Plenty of adults use them in the US and nobody bats an eyelash

I have always found it odd seeing adults wearing Disney clothing and accessories.
We have a young man in his 20’s who works for us occasionally, he has a picture of himself with Mickey Mouse on his Linked Inn profile.

Why would you. Overpriced and naff

Hi Hypen, not seen your name before.
What a strange question, "Can you get much inside one?" I'm sure a site like the one provided by Bluebelle will give you all the measurements and maybe pictures of the inside. Rucksacks usually have ample pockets. Happy backpacking!
Bring out the kid in you! 🎒 grin

BlueBelle Thu 23-May-24 07:36:50

Sorry Joseann I haven’t given any website information

I m not making fun of Hypen just surprised

Joseann Thu 23-May-24 07:44:04

Sorry, Bluebelle, I read through quickly and connected your image with the website mentioned by another poster advertising it!

Joseann Thu 23-May-24 07:47:21

Noooo it was petra I meant!!
I need more coffee.

BlueBelle Thu 23-May-24 07:47:59

🤣🤣no problem I didn’t want to take the credit for someone else’s hard work 🤣

readsalot Thu 23-May-24 12:34:10

A quick look makes me think that no, you can’t get much in them and no, they are not worth the money. You could buy much better but your choice.

PamelaJ1 Thu 23-May-24 13:04:40

I presume they come in other patterns?
I’ve got a backpack that squashes up into its front pocket. Weighs hardly anything, cost not a lot and looks a tad more grown up than the one in the photo.

I don’t.

I was just encouraging OP to buy it if she likes it. With so many here mocking them she might have started to feel self conscious.

LucyAnna2 Thu 23-May-24 18:37:15

Well, they look overpriced and unattractive to me, but it’s been a good advertising ploy………
