So I decided about what I was asking about on the Rude or Not Blog and I thought I'd share (in case anyone was actually curious by some miracle ).
I decided to just go ahead and buy a different bag. While I'd love to get the exact bag that I fell in love with (I know, cheesy) I was thinking if I have to even question whether or not it's rude, then it must be. This way I'll still be happy with the new bag, but there's no weirdness or hard feelings in the office.
Thanks everyone who gave your opinions. If I didn't have some other opinions, I would have been arguing with myself for a while!

That's a good way to solve it. Err on the side of caution.
