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 have a large plain canvas bag which I pimped with a multi coloured leather tassel and a matching huge star on the side. I love it.

I recommend Mia Tui bags - vegan and fabulous customer service

I can second this. This is my current one

I have several from Fossil. I get them at the outlet stores so much cheaper. I think they look like and are good quality leather bags for a reasonable price.

baffledcoconut · 21/02/2023 20:14

Longchamp Pilage. Absolutely love them. Have them in varying sizes

fuzzbearpenguin · 21/02/2023 20:15

I have a plain black Italian bag my mil bought me on holiday years ago, no idea what brand but it's plain black leather and goes with everything. I tend to use it for posh trips, nights out, weddings etc.

I otherwise tend to use cloth tote bags which go well on my wheelchair - I keep phone and purse in my pockets. Easier to reach while sitting. I have a LOT of them!

Bluevelvetsofa · 21/02/2023 20:16

Radley, from Brand Alley and HoF when they had a closing down sale.

TheFeistyFeminist · 21/02/2023 20:23

Oh my goodness, my family keep threatening to stage an intervention. I have a bag problem. 🤣

I have Cath Kidston bags, Mia tui bags, a Kate spade, a couple of Fiorelli bags, several Radleys and lots of high street stuff too.

My absolute favourite is a second hand Mulberry Somerset hobo. It's the right size, strap length etc.

AlwaysLatte · 21/02/2023 20:28

My husband bought me a lovely cross body slim radley bag, and I alternate it with a little wide handled camera bag.

RocketPanda · 21/02/2023 20:33

I have a black one from Primark. And a wine coloured one from Dunnes.

@TheClitterati i’m really tempted by Elvis & Kresse! Live the whole idea - which do you have?

DappledThings · 21/02/2023 20:53

A brown cross-body one. Think it was from Shoe Express. Or Primark maybe.

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

Love a mini rucksack!

What brands do you normally go for?

I coveted a Mulberry one in metallic gold on ebay for quite some time but it was a little pricey... You've just reminded me to check if its still on there.

ghostyslovesheets · 21/02/2023 20:56

I love bags

I have a few Kurt Geiger ones - all Kensington - cream with rainbow stripes, black, small glitter one and my current fave - a gold XL which fits my laptop etc in

I also have a beautiful blue Biba one, a silver Clarkes bag and a large saddle bag from Osprey

Calphurnia88 · 21/02/2023 21:15

@IWasFunBeforeMum @baffledcoconut does Le Pliage make a good laptop bag? What size would you recommend?

pippapoo62 · 21/02/2023 21:32

this one in mustard

and this one, which is the one he chose

I really like my bag. Fits across my body well and lots of pockets for stuff.

TheHateIsNotGood · 21/02/2023 21:52
