Nine West claims it is offering 20% off all bags as a Mother’s Day promo, but in my opinion that’s just an excuse to shop for yourself.

Well, I guess if you’re a really nice person you can buy mum a bag, but the rest of us can hold our heads high in the knowledge that shopping is a purely selfish activity.

The email I received this morning promoting 20% off all Nine West bags for a limited time didn’t mention any conditions, so I’m assuming it also includes bags that are already on sale.

For example, this Kelly large satchel bag is already reduced to $89, and if the discount does apply, it will be down to $71. I quite like the style of bag, it reminds me of Balenciaga.
