New leather purse/wallet?

26 replies

I can't think where to look other than John Lewis - I liked a few of their Radley ones. I need one with lots of card space but also a good coin section.
Any ideas?

Hello
I sell Chanel purses, currently one listed on ebay, listing number 6870806774. Loads of space for a small purse. x

I was bought one from Next..It's rectangular in shape and holds card etc in one side and notes and coins in the other. Usually quite well priced from next and I must admit it's a lovely purse.In my favourite colour pink as well. Grin.

Debenhams usually have a good radley selection as well...

There used to be a shop here that sold gifty things, pictures, ornaments etc and purses - I have a fab leather one with lots of card room and coin section, wearing out a bit now - anything like that your way?

I'll check out the brand in a minute (if I can) and see if I can find anything.

TJ Hughes is good for handbags and purses too, if you have one of those near you.

Oh, TK Maxx another possibility.

Maiseymum _ how do you get designer purses to sell in the first place? I'm afraid I'm quite wary of designer items on ebay (no offence Grin)

Shhh - I'll go have a look!

Haven't heard of TJ HUghes but TX Maxx is a great idea - we've just had a new one open up nearby.

None taken
Someone I used to work for has a shop, so when she orders her stock I add stuff, so I get a discount.
The starting bids are low, but by the end of the auction they sell for approx £70, check my feedback x

Mine is a lot like \link{http://www.serkotasupplies.co.uk/shop2/top_sellers/wallet-purse-50184/5/top_sellers_uk.html\this} in layout though it's plain dark green, not multi-coloured.

I like the coin section on the back.

Don't like the purse, or where I get them? x

SHHHH · 13/04/2006 22:00

£70 for a purse!!! At that price I would have no money to put in it afterwards!!!! LOL..!!!!

Cupcakes,where are you based.? We have outlet places here (Northwest)that sell a variety of accessories such as purses and some designer ones..? Usually very well priced. Sold Cheap as they are last seasons stock..Like you can tell the difference.!! HTH. X.

Janh · 13/04/2006 22:05

I put my Boots/Matalan/Homebase type cards in the bit on the back - there are 2 other large coin sections in the middle and I have one for big money (20p+) and one for little; also 3 full-width sections either side of the coin sections, I have stamps and notes and receipts and other random bits in them; also behind the photos-and-yet-more-cards section there are 2 more full-width sections where I have driving licence, vouchers, membership cards etc.

It's a bit fat but very useful!

Ok, didn't mean to offend.
John Lewis, Debenhams, House of Fraser and a little shop opposite John Lewis in Milton Keynes sell loads. x

SHHHH · 13/04/2006 22:10

a bit of a distance cc...I thought of you trying cheshire oaks or lowry outlet or boundry mill (usually have Radley at reduced costs..) BUT a bit far for you to some for a purse.!

SHHHH · 13/04/2006 22:10

meant " for you to come".. xx

SHHHH · 13/04/2006 22:12

cc, no probs. x

Mala · 15/04/2006 17:51

Shhhh - it is a great purse. Do think it is very expensive, but it holds all my cards and is so well made. Their wallets are very good quality too.
