If any?!
I’m after a tan leather good quality cross body bag! These are the two I’ve found that I like that are very similar except the price!
Can I have your opinions please?

The TB one.

All my aunties like Radley. I think of it as for old people

myself2020 · 04/05/2020 14:46

Radley is much better quality (mine is 16 years old...)

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 05/05/2020 13:57

Just remembered the leather on my TB watch lost its finish and 'peeled' within a few months. I'd go for the radley, or look for one without the twee dogs.

Sallycinammonbangsthedruminthe · 05/05/2020 14:10

ted baker gets my vote

JohnFinlaysNewTeeth · 05/05/2020 14:12

Ted Baker. Radley reminds me of grannies and people with no taste.

SparklesAllOver · 05/05/2020 14:13

Ted Baker one looks better, the bags I have from TB have lasted as long as any Radley ones, so quality equal.

Eminybob · 05/05/2020 14:18

I prefer the Ted Baker out of those, but columnist enough I have just bought a Radley cross body bag in yellow that was a similar price in clearance from John Lewis. It is lovely, the leather feels nice and soft and it is well made.

Eminybob · 05/05/2020 14:19

*funnily enough Hmm

Just to throw a curveball, have you looked at Fossil? They have some quite gorgeous cross body bags:

Pinkyyy · 05/05/2020 14:23

I've never found Ted baker to be good quality. So if it's a bag you want to buy and keep for a few years I wouldn't go for TB.

IndecentFeminist · 05/05/2020 14:24

I always think of ted baker as being quite poor quality for the price tbh

TrickyKid · 05/05/2020 14:26

Ted baker. Radley is very twee.

Ponoka7 · 05/05/2020 14:27

The Radley one is practical, because of the outside pockets. It's more functional.
The TB is neater looking. I've compaired both in TK Maxx and the leather on the Radley's is slightly better, but they are always less stylish.

Have you looked at the GIGI bag in TK Maxx? It's £34.99.

TheVanguardSix · 05/05/2020 14:27

I like the look of the TB one more.
But the Radley bag looks beautifully made. The interior is much finer than the TB one.

BooFuckingHoo2 · 05/05/2020 14:27

Definitely Ted Baker. Radley is beyond naff!

HollowTalk · 05/05/2020 14:29

The Radley bag is showing as dark blue on my link.

shinyredbus · 05/05/2020 14:31

TB - because Radley looks a bit ‘young’ for me .

1forAll74 · 05/05/2020 15:14

I like the one featured by a poster, the Debenhams one..

I once bought a bag like the the Ted Baker one, from my local hospice charity shop, It was £ 5 and immaculate. I don't know all these bag designers and don't take any notice of them. I am just the oldie bag lady !!

Fluffybutter · 05/05/2020 16:30

I find ted baker stuff it’s expensive crap.
The leather Radley uses tends to be nicer/ softer so I’d go with that

AlpacaGoodnight · 05/05/2020 17:26

I prefer the look of the TB but the price is very different!

Dreamscomingtrue · 05/05/2020 17:30

Radley, better made and value for money.

Bubblysqueak · 05/05/2020 17:32

I usually go for Radley but I actually prefer the Ted Baker one.
