What colour would you pick?

Needs to go with black suit for work to jeans with a navy blazer and white shirt for may be girlie afternoon shopping etc.

I presume tan would probably be the best neutral colour to go for?

Yes, in my opinion.

If you want something more statementy I'd go for red. Can't beat it.

Camel or tan. What's your budget, style, I can have a rummage?

No more than £200. Must last and last so a sort of classic.

I quite like this one

But worry I'd get bored of the style.

Actually looking again I am not keen on the gold bits on the pockets.

I second the Jigsaw one - i walked past it in John Lewis last week and it was totally lovely in the flesh - really nice leather and that little bit different. It is grey though (but I am looking for a grey bag!)

I am hoping it might get reduced some more though!

Glad you like my choice. Sigh. Wish I had that budget!

I LOVE the grey but I have a hatred of bucket type bags. I despise getting to the car park and trying to find my keys in one. It drives me bonkers!

But I do love the colour.

I've got this in camel, but it comes in tan too, leather is buttery soft and I love all the pockets...

Lucia

Really worth a look in TK Maxx if you have one near otherwise the website is pretty good.

Another vote for the Lucia.

It's my current favourite handbag. The leather is so unbelievably soft and it's very comfortable to wear.

I am seriously considering a darker colour for the winterBlush

Which colour do you have doyouthinktheysaurus? I am seriously debating going to buy a Navy one for winter, or the new tan....

I have the camel and I'm also considering the navy madamme

I like the tan but worry it would be too similar to the camel and I have a lovely bluey green winter coat that navy would be good with. I'm not keen on black handbags for some reason.

I haven't told dh yet but I shall be definitely be buying another.....unless they come up with an even better designGrin

I agree with you, I think the tan would be too similar plus I've just bought a new winter wool jacket/blazer for Autumn and the Navy one would look GORGEOUS with it......:)

All my bags are tan apart from my black bays. Tan is a beautiful and practical colour.

I'm with youDoyouthinktheysaurus I have the grey and am going to buy the Navy version for Winter as it has been the best bag for holding stuff and not losing things ( and I do!) I have ever had! - front pockets are great!
I don't seem to do well with tan - -

The Lucia is very like Mulberry's Annie which they no longer make and I could never afford, these days I'm a bit more affluent therefore I think a Lucia
will may be coming my way!!

That Lucia bag is very very nice.
