Well , researchers have outdone themselves..

It seems that a study found that simply holding a Victoria's Secret bag left women feeling attractive, glthat amorous, feminine and sexy.

Researchers found found certain brands? "personalities" rubs off on certain people.

They said their findings add weight to previous studies that found certain brands’ "personalities” rubs off on shoppers.

It could also offer an explanation as to why many women are left feeling happy from purchasing certain products during a day of “retail therapy”.

“We found women who carried a Victoria's Secret shopping bag felt better looking, glamorous, and feminine after carrying the bag.

“They didn't even use or wear any of the products.”

What say you ladies ??

cabbage, I don't go to the UK often, more to the US...and there prices are, compared to here, pretty good. Especially when the sales are on , plus, there are always promotions.:)

It is an environment related to the customer....:)

Do you covert 'Farah slacks' too?

I don't think the prices are higher in London. There is wider choice and variety..

How many of us can afford to go and shop there? Not us mere mortals.

I don't know if I have said this before - I flew back to England November/December time to do a Christmas shop in London.

It was grand but I looked at the prices and they were astronomical compared to over here.

I beg to differ.. M & S also make great slacks with elasticised waist bands ...

cabbage, I hear the food hall in the UK is pretty good.

I do prefer Harvey Nic's though.

By anonymous• 12 Mar 2011 22:52

cabbage M&S and Waitrose are the places for food stuff in the UK..:)

By anonymous• 12 Mar 2011 22:50

Over here it is boring. Go to one in the UK, not as boring but to be honest not that great too :-)

Sometimes I wish we had the same food hall over here though.

Cabbage you are such a teaser, ok how about two Waitrose bags for one of those M&S one?

By nomerci• 12 Mar 2011 22:47

cabbage, I don't get the M&S thing....I have to admit that I find that shop incredibly boring :(

At least here in Qatar.

By anonymous• 12 Mar 2011 22:45

I worship at the hallowed grounds of the M&S bag.

That makes me feel so much better about myself.

(Get me with a M&S bag) lol xxxx

I don't think sexy is the correct word to use, I do think shopping makes you feel good but not necessarily holding the bags.

By nomerci• 12 Mar 2011 22:43
nomerci

Brit, no , not necessarily. But if you just have bought an incredibly nice little goodie...well, of course you'd feel good.

You are right. So, its more about self confidence/esteem than anything else.

Nah cabbage, ok best I can do is swap for your M&S bag..:)

By nomerci• 12 Mar 2011 22:01

You all just don't get it....the better the bag, the better what is actually INSIDE it...

I find it all very strange.. What about mingers .. Do they feel the same. For that matter - do men percieve them as more sexy ?

The research found that - "Shoppers who carried the lingerie bag perceived themselves as more feminine, glamorous, and good-looking than shoppers who held the plain shopping bag, they concluded."

By anonymous• 12 Mar 2011 15:20

For me no. x

We're not talking handbags here. we're talking about Shop Bags.

Do you think , that if you wander around Villagio with a Dior Shopping Bag , you will feel sexier ?

Today I had all the hot chicks and a MILF or two eyeing me at Villagio. Must've been the new Carrefour bio-degradable bags i was carrying.

In Doha I have maximum number of Filipino flying Hostesses having 10000+Qrs branded bags on their shoulders. I dont how come they afford it?I wonder if Air hostesses get salary of 20000 or 30000 pm or some other sources they are getting it...By the way I find small thin and pretty color bags holders far hotter....
