Leather preferably
No Fossil or Radley or Kipling please

For every day. Current one I have is a DKNY one from New York 12 years ago! Has lasted well!

I like simple ideas, clean lines etc. Would like a mulberry tessie but I'm being sensible so budget of about being £100, more if I absolutely love it

Thanks!

I just bought this, it's Lovely - nicer in the flesh, beautiful clean lines, and well within budget!

How big does it need to be? I'm getting the DKNY Chelsea Vintage cross body from DH for my birthday

Thanks for the replies. Is the DKNY bag a bit boxy? Need to get usual stuff in it- purse iPhone keys, usually a thomas train or two, lip gloss.

Will have a look at ones mentioned

Not helpful, but I thought a "cross body bag" would be something you might find an angry person in in a mortuary Blush. I should stay away S&B threads...

I have this and I loveit because it is slim and has clean lines. You forget you're wearing it. It's hand-tooled leather made in UK.

Take a look at COS too. They sometimes have good minimalist cross body.

Have a look at mint velvet and all saints, they have some good bags.
I've just bought a fossil one and am returning it as it's just not as nice as I thought it would be.
Have ordered a fat Face one to try, I feel like I have been looking at Cross body bags for ages now!

You guys are good! Liking the jigsaw one so far and just found this on the Cos site, although not sure it will be very strong for the price? Need something that won't damage the straps if I have a couple of sets of keys in etc.
