Radley bags?

[thisisyesterday]

it's my birthday at the end of the month, and my handbag is shit, so i thought i might drop some hints to dp about what i might like!

anyone have any opinions on the following?

number 1

number 2

number 3

number 4

number 5

Or any other suggestions of bags I might like??

Why Radley?? They're so unbelievably boring and unstylish. And the doggy motif is boketastic.

dunno i just like them!

Number 2 is my favourite, sorry to your DP as it seems to be the most expensive!

this is infinitely nicer than any of your links and a bargain to boot.

gorgeous

lovely

i think we'll have to agree that we have completely different tastes bunny! don't like any of those

Number 5 would be my first choice but I would never spend £169 on one bag!

If I had to spend £200 on myself then I would get 2 pairs shoes, 2 or 3 bags and a dress.

Am not a designer sort of person but do like nice things.

Nice solid bag. Number four and five are my favourite. Now I was going to say what about Oilily, but I had a peek at their range!! Or Disigual? here

Hate radley bags.

I like numbers 4 and 5. Maybe number 5 abit more. I really like Radley bags too.

good job it isn't for you then isn't it?

i do love when people make the effort to post something constructive

Not keen on Radley at all. But then, I recently bought the first bag Bunny linked to so I'm clearly going to be no help to you!

i Do Not Get the radley bags thing. they're so boxy and unimaginative and that stupid little dog... total rip-off.

3 or 5 for me. I like radley - but often like fiorelli more (and a bit cheaper!)

The only radley bags i like are the across the body ones, i have a couple they are very well made, have lasted years.

I have a Radley bag, I think it's the one called the Medium Pocket Bag, in black, severe and simple and practically invisible (and N.O. little dog). Hardly anyone does super-sober invisible bags.

I think I must be the extreme other end of Bunny's spectrum!

Before (years ago) I had a Mandarina Duck bag. That was very severely chic too - maybe you should TIY, if that's what you like?

i prefer 4 or 5. DH bought me a signature one with the dog in a racing car for my 30th - i love it and see it as an investment as its worth more than he paid for it now.

I'm with bunny on the oushka bags but out of the ones you linked to I'd say no 5.

there is a second hand radley market? jeez louise.

I have a black radley across the body bag also - a leaving pressie from last job. I like no.2 of the bags linked.

i like radley too. i don't see why people hate them so much, they look like normal bags to me.

number 3 was my fave from your list OP.

because they are totally overpriced. they own tula as well iirc, same bags for a quarter of the cost. same leather, same factories, same everything. apart from the scottie dog, of course. they're a gouge.

Sorry, I know it's a hijack, but while there's so many good handbag folks on - can anyone find me a cheap £50ish alternative to this?

I really can't afford Balenciaga

I love bag number 5.

I have 3 Radley bags and 1 briefcase and I love them. Much better quality than Tula.

They are nice bags, classic design and sturdy and strong.

Don't let the Radley haters put you off.

Radley's a bit 10 years ago for me. But I suppose every dog has its day

lol, they're the same as tula. (which are also shit but at least not pretending to be anything else).
