now then, bags please, or rather names of designers that fall between high st and couture...

[Heathcliffscathy]

like tabitha, which i've just discovered.

i'm looking for a gorgeous bag around the 100-150 mark, and want something special...

i like the tabitha quinny in red.

if i had the money i'd go balenciaga but helas...

[TheBolter]

Karen Millen's bags are nice. A big waggy sometimes, but often v nice.

[Heathcliffscathy]

thanks bolt...anymore?

[TheOddOne]

Fossil handbags and watches are gorgeous.

[BobtheWoodmouse]

Do you have a Russell & Bromley shoe store near you?

Their bags are pretty good sometimes.

[hf128219]

Anya Hindmarch sale?

[Fimbo]

I like this Barbour bag.

Also I have a chocolate brown leather bag by Bolla. Large for every day use.

[DrNortherner]

Luella bags are fabbo if you have an outlet store near you?

Do you want an evening bag or an everyday one?

[doesmybumlookbiginthis]

Have you tried this website
They have fashion bags that are reasonably priced and also bags from Blondie mania and Kesslord - french company. All bags look fabby

T K Maxx are selling bags online now. Always worth a rummage through.

[FlightHattendant]

TKMaxx sometimes have good stuff...got a nice DiBiasio there a while back. But tis luck really.

[FlightHattendant]

Ooh Fimbo, spooky!!! I had this thread open for ages before posting on it, so your post wasn't there. weirdy music about now

I got my Frye boots in there last year for £70, they are £180 everywhere else.

[FlightHattendant]

Oh don't tell me that. I can't LET myself into the shoe department, the bags bit is hard enough. Mind you they never have 8s in ours.

[Heathcliffscathy]

so it's between a tabitha quinny in red and a kessler blue one do you think i can use the blue one as an over shoulder bag?

that's so far...

[Fimbo]

Sorry but the blue one is minging and no you couldn't use it as an over the shoulder bag.

[Heathcliffscathy]

what's minging about it!!!

[Fimbo]

I don't like the metal work at the sides, nor the colour. It doesn't look the money, it looks like something cheap from a market stall

[Fimbo]

Not keen on the circly things on the Tabitha one either, but it is 100% better than the blue and looks the part.

[Heathcliffscathy]

but you LIKE that barbour bag....

[Fimbo]

The Barbour is fantastic.

[LaurieFairyCake]

The ones on red direct are lovely. I got the Lloyd Baker Hobo bag for £35.00 with discount last week. It's all leather and is a nice big bag and for a change fits neatly on the shoulder - I am so sick of bags that fall off the shoulder.

They do it in purple and tan too. Quite fancy some of the other, more expensive bags on there too.

[Fimbo]

Oh yum Laurie, that is a nice bag. The green is lovely.

[GossipMonger]

The Barbour is lovely.

the red one is OK

The blue one is vile and looks like it came from Dorothy Perkins!

If I was spending £150 on a bag I would want it to look like I had spent £150 on a bag!!

[GossipMonger]

bargain!
