I need to replace my Cath Kidson handbag which has broken after many years! I’ve been wanting a change for a while but don’t know what sort of day bag I want!! Can you send pics of yours for inspiration?!

i got some river island ones and one from TK Maxx they have lots of lovely handbags you will definitely find something there. They have a website too now.

KindlyKanga · 21/02/2023 19:17

Tk maxx all the way.

I have a radley from there and I'm keeping an eye out for something else.

I go for mini rucksacks usually. I get them on Vinted so I have several different ones to go with whatever outfit

Merryoldgoat · 21/02/2023 19:29

I cycle a Coach cross body, a Radley and a Kate Spade.

I have a nice bright blue Anya Hindmarch Elrod for summer.

I have a satchel from The Leather Satchel Co and a couple of plain leather Coach bags in different sizes. Also a Kipling cross-body for travelling light.

cobblers123 · 21/02/2023 19:33

I have two cross body bags from M&S, tan and black, a Coach black shoulder bag and a Kate Spade multi colour shoulder bag for the summer that I bought last year.

Imthegingerbreadwoman · 21/02/2023 19:35

@handsoffate do they smell like leather? I'm obsessed with the smell and also looking to get a bag. Weird I know!

Suori · 21/02/2023 19:36

Ha, you don't want to see my bags.

Okunevo · 21/02/2023 19:38

I have a moss coloured 10 litre eastpak backpack

Phos · 21/02/2023 19:38

I've got a small beige crossbody one with flowers on and a two tone black and cream Jasper Conran one, they're for just nipping to the shop or whatever. For going out I have a white Michael Kors with a bright pattern and a plain black Mulberry.

Sage321 · 21/02/2023 19:39

I've been using a michael kors satchel at the mo in a tan/brown colour. Not the normal brand I go for but it was really reasonable on offer and it goes with everything. Can easily make it look casual or dressed up.

ChrisPriss · 21/02/2023 19:42

I recommend Mia Tui bags - vegan and fabulous customer service

I'm in the market for a bigger black bag.

JazzHandsYeah · 21/02/2023 19:52

I have this in Navy from Lulu Guinness. I much prefer cross body bags and this one fits just about everything in, though I did get it half price in the sale last year.

fatforty · 21/02/2023 19:57

Mulberry Anthony crossbody. It's still going strong after 10 years of almost daily use. It's so harsh and has stood up to some serious neglect. I absolutely love it.

Depends on your budget and what you use it for

the leather satchel co make ridiculously robust bags. I’ve had mine for 12 years I think. But I find it’s not practical and a bit too stiff.

river island have upped their game since my teenage years.

i bought my mate a Michael kors bag for her birthday from an outlet with further £ off and I noticed it was well made. (York designer outlet) there’s also a Ralph Lauren there. Their bags are cheaper thank you think and super quality. But best to buy when the outlet has a sale on the already discounted products.

vivienne Westwood/ Kate spade bags are pretty robust too.

I got a Gucci black crossbody for my 29th bday and although it was a nice treat not half as robust as a leather satchel. It’s lost its camera bag shape and looks a bit sad and droopy. it’s probably got a couple more years before it looks like a drowned rat.

Kurt Geiger bags always look pretty special to me. TK maxx have begun to stock them .

Sparkletastic · 21/02/2023 20:01

Fossil Rachel - got it half price in the sale a couple of years ago. Love it.

TheClitterati · 21/02/2023 20:05

I love my Elvis & Kresse bags.

But my fall back fav go it is a tan leather saddlebag type I bought in Italy about 20 years ago. It really is timeless & has aged so well. No brand just quality. Strap long enough to wear cross body, big enough to fit everything I need inc folding umbrella and water bottle if necessary. 2 zipped pockets & 2 large compartments. But not a massive bag.

PinkiOcelot · 21/02/2023 20:07

I’m liking Fiorelli at the minute. Have a black one I use for work and a grey cross body. Really like them.
