Which bag do you prefer

I know that Radley gets some stick here but value opinions. I'm looking for a medium size bag that is both a grab bag and across the body, in dark tan or brown. I don't want a hobo style as can't find things in it! I also want a bag to be light before I put anything in it, which rules out Modalu as they are very stiff and heavy. Spend up to £200 but happier with £150-ish.

Radley

Fossil

Def the Fossil one for me, it's lovely. Not keen on the Radley one I'm afraid.

Ooh yes the fossil one. If I saw a friend with that I'd compliment it,however if they had the Radley one I probably wouldn't look twice at it

The Radley one -a softer look.

It's a vote for Fossil from me too.

I have the fossil one! It's gorgeous. Holds everything but compact.

Fossil. By a country mile.

Do not like the Radley at all.

By the way I have a v similar one from Kate spade (couple of years ago), this one media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/60/58/95/605895ca0c92b72108a39c72a6442683.jpg
Might be worth a look there if you haven't already, the bags are real leather but very soft and light, and mine still looks good as new despite being used every day for two years and now housing a baby bottle and changing mat!

Thanks! Looks as if it's Fossil. I wondered if it was too square, but it is light and would hope a lot.

I like the kate Spade on too- haven't heard of her.

Oh pinkfrocks, her bags are so gorgeous! If you're in London they have a beautiful shop in Covent Garden, it's a wonderland!

I shall bear her in mind! I can always find room for another bag :)

What I like most is the double zip, so you can open it really wide and see everything, no sliding your hand in and rummaging. Also there's a slip pocket on outside for phone.

Much prefer the Fossil, infact I'm eyeing it up myself now Grin - the Radley shape of that particular bag looks a bit naff if I'm tbh.

pinkfrocks · 20/09/2014 16:10

It's ordered.

The only thing I'd change would be the handles- I like a thicker handle- kind of rounded grab handles, rather than flat, but I like the big zip and the fact it's silver and lots of brown bags have gold hardware.

Neither Im sorry. The second one reminds me of a Doctors bag.

This is the one it reminds me of. Love the Kate bag though.

Love the kate spade one. TBH I could hardly tell the difference between the Fossil and Radley, I liked the one that came in dark brown (radley?)

I like the Fossil one except it has gold-coloured fittings which I hate!

It has really light pale gold hardware rather than bright yellow if that makes sense.

The Fossil bag in the dark tan has silver hardwear.
