Where did you buy a your purse ?

Saw a gorgeous purse in Agnes b when in Paris over the summer and just wish I'd bought it then and there. All I'm looking for is one which is good quality leather, not too fancy, and has an outer zip compartment for change, slits for credit cards, etc. and wallet bit for notes.

Went to Liberty and it was all a bit patent leather.
I want practical, understated and good quality. And, not one of those long ones - a short one, small but beautiful please.

Anyone want to recommend me one? ... would be even better if could be bought online.

TIA

I have the smaller version of this:
osprey purse

Though I am currently using my massive brown congo leather mulberry purse. {I like to swap every now and again)

Forgot about Mulberry ... gorgeous purse, with a price tag to match. Might have to take myself down to their shop on St Christopher's Place if I can't find anything else.

Kate spade is nice, but probably a bit too colourful for me

I got mine from mulberry sim to this it was £££ and quite grown up for me, but it has a sentimental attachment plus still looks great - is nearly 10 years old, fabric inside perfect, leather inside change purse perfect so all in all I think it is worth the money, sort of.

Smythson. You want my purse but I can't see it on the website, I have had it 2 or 3 years now. It's a combination of the Housekeepers Purse (charming name ) with a clasp and an attached zip around bit that looks like the inside of the Continental.

Mine is brown Mara leather. Tis perfect.
