Is this it? Is the search over? Have I found my bag....? <heart stops>

[tethersend]

I have been looking for a tan shoulder bag big enough to hold my A4 work folder and around £100 for about 35 years. Have started many threads on the subject.

Is this it?

They have one in my local branch so am going to check it out tomorrow...

...Is it shit? Am I suffering from nice bag blindness? 49cms will fit an A4 folder, right? Is it the best bag ever? Or just ok? Too many questions?

Waaaaaaaahhhhhh!

It's just too orange...it's like me Mum's bag.

tethersend, in the nicest possible way, if you've been searching for 35 years I think it is very unlikely you will ever find your dream bag now.

But I really hope you continue to enjoy the search .

Do you think after 35 years you should widen your colour options.

You do realise we are all frantically trying to distract you so you don't by the Hyacinth Bouquet number don't you?

What's the problem? She has great taste in bags

I have this and ok a bit over budget and too slouchy but it is big

I quite like the jaeger one though.

I quite like the bag. I like the shape, the sheen, the cleanness of lines.

I am a compulsive googler and don't really mind, which might be a bit sad really lol

I will start posting the odd bags, that you will never have seen before, and I know I don't share the same taste as you but I still can't quite give up this will not be to your taste, but look I am looking at bags all over the world for you... I reckon you need to go to New York or France/Italy your taste seems a little conservative and I think any of these places will have the right bag for you....

I like it and it's in the sale.

Actually, the bag in your op is perfect get that one , ignore anyone who says differently.

I actually really like it. Looks very classic-dress up or down,practical yet low-key luxe.

Has a lovely vintage feel & is a brilliant price!

I actually want it for myself but, have recently bought an Aspinal of London bag & an Osprey bag so, I think that dh might go ape-shit if another bag appears just now!

Buy it!

Tethers - it is beyond dire - but if you love it, who cares?? One less monstrosity taking up shelf space

How about this one? It certainly looks big enough to carry an A4, it's tan, and it's not a satchel!

I like it.

But I do wear scarves and nautical stripes (and capri-pants with flat pumps...). Didn't realise that was such a no-no .

But I do like the bag. And I rarely find bags I like - too many buckles, pockets, blingy bits for my taste these days. And a good price, too.

the Oxford bag is what i call a Lady bag.

It's the gaudy metal bits that I don't like... Would you consider something utilitarian like LeSportsac? DD2 has an old tote style one that used to be DD1's and she uses it for school, tons of books and papers, no rips yet and it's about 8 years old at this point -- they're well made and can accommodate a lot of stuff.

alfabetty - We favour the same sartorial choices-I looove a nautical stripe, black pumps & capris & natty scarves tied jauntily.
Bought my first Amor Lux Breton shirt & Hermes scarf in Saint Malo last year & I'm still thrilled with them!

Anyway, I still say buy the bag,Tethersend! It's fab.

Readers, I bought it.

It's lovely.

Screw you all

(except those who said "buy it" )

I mean, thanks. Of course.

Yeay!

I do love a happy ending

hurrah!

Go to TKMAXX.

This bag is heinous.

Tethers - thanks for the screw

I'm glad you like it!!

Wendi - feel free to read the thread

Congratulations its a turkey lovely

HUzzah! It's a bag that won't let you down.
