A slouchy crossbody bag for city break? Any suggestions? Up to £300

Needs to be roomy!

I'd prefer leather and like metallic, navy, tan or nude.

I'd consider a brighter colour for the right bag.

Just wondered if anyone has seen anything ncpice around?

what do people think of this?

Would the colour be a mistake?

Marc Jacobs Natasha? More colours should be available elsewhere...

When's the break? If you can wait a month or so, then you should be able to get something in the sales, if you make a wishlist now :)

Not keen on the colour of the Fossil.

The reviews on the fossil bag you linked say it marks really easily. I wouldn't be happy with that as its so expensive.

I have this:

uk.coach.com/coach-mens-leather-messenger-metropolitan-map-bag-in-sport-calf-leather/72116.html?dwvar_color=QBDEN

Roomy, lovely leather and a nice shade of blue. I know it's technically a man bag but don't care!

I have a Village England Beamish bag and love it. Loads of room and great quality leather.

A couple of ideas:

slouchy

metallic

catgirl I love the village England bag!

Do you find it heavy?

Do you think it'd be suitable as a crossbody city break bag or more a work bag?

Sorry no idea how to do links but White Stuff have nice sized cross body bags in soft leather in various colours, approx £50.

Sorry, just realised you'd asked some questions. I don't find it as heavy as a lot of similar size leather bags - my back isn't great but I have no problems carrying it around all day. I bought the taupe one deliberately so it didn't look too much like a work bag, but if you went for the black it might look a bit formal.
