Large tan handbag... Again

[tethersend]

I need something large (A4 notebook large), leather, shoulder, under £200 and tan, or at least partly tan.

ALL ideas gratefully received- have grown sick of trying to find one!

[mewkins]

There's a few really nice ones on the tk maxx site at the moment.

I saw a nice one in Jigsaw the other day

Here is the Jigsaw one

[tethersend]

Thanks mewkins- unfortunately the only ones I like on there at the moment are the fendi totes at an eye-watering £900 odd quid...

[tethersend]

I like that Halle, but need something sturdier than a clutch I'm afraid- it's for work. Thanks though.

Massimo Dutti do some lovely ones.

[tethersend]

Can't find anything I like there either, Katie... They all look a bit cheap this year.

[CharlotteBronteSaurus]

this looked like it might take an A4 notebook when I saw it the other day.

i am saving for one of these though.

[tethersend]

Thanks Charlotte, that's a a bit plain for me... God I'm a fussy bugger

[MorrisZapp]

I've got an awesome work bag from Fat Face. It's dark brown, has comfy shoulder handles, lined in cotton, plenty of pockets, and easily fits my a4 files.

I bought it a year ago but think they still have it.

White Stuff also good for this kind of thing.

[KatieScarlett2833]

Not fussy at all!
It took me 4 sodding months to find one for work exactly as you describe.

[tethersend]

Where did you find it in the end, Katie?

I don't want to worry you, but I e been looking for this bag for years

[tethersend]

Not keen on dark brown, thanks all the same Morris.

[KatieScarlett2833]

I looked online but couldn't find one. I specifically wanted one with naice soft leather, tan coloured and big enough for all my work tat.
I got one in the Massimo Dutti shop in Cartagena. In the sale, for 60 euros

[CharlotteBronteSaurus]

i get the fussiness - it's why I'm saving for the small leather Longchamp (in the nice pinky purple). Am not a label lover, but have somehow managed to poo-pooh every other bag on the high street since my last bag broke a couple of months back.

Tan tote from River Island?

[cardamomginger]

what happened to the one you got off Amazon that was like the Chloe one?

[tethersend]

Got to be a shoulder bag, sorry Thesunrising.

[tethersend]

It's still going!

I honestly thought I'd found THE bag- and it's good, sort of river island quality- but it's a dark tan and painted leather and, dammit, it's not a chloe.

I want something more expensive looking and vintagey I think...

[cardamomginger]

I've been looking for a black one that ticks all my boxes for about as long. I share your pain!!

[notnowImreading]

Do you like this one? It comes in black too.

[tethersend]

Not keen, sorry- the leather looks a bit papery.

The only thing I've seen and liked is from radley - here

[tethersend]

But too £££

[KatieScarlett2833]

The Radley one is gorgeous. I've uploaded a pic of my bargain bag on my profile.

Get your family to chip in and get the Radley one you like for Christmas? HOF have their 20% discount thing next weekend. Sales assistant told me yesterday while I was trying on £400 sunglasses!
