So... if you needed a large, possibly tan, leather bag; what would you get?

[tethersend]

I need ideas for a large (large enough to fit in an A4 folder or two plus other detritus) leather shoulder bag, probably tan. Not cross body.

Any suggestions from all ends of the budget spectrum most welcome; this quest seems to have lasted years...

I can't get to the english page for some reason but it is this ref. : 1528533 and is called "balzane sac a main". (the hobo is the balzane besace). I can get your link to work either.

You are all lovely

I have been thinking a lot about this Massimo Dutti one... do you think I could get different, longer straps put on?

Also, anyone seen it IRL? Or know how big it is?

Anyone?

Or have you all given up on me?

asos

not structured enough for your taste

asos again

No, tethers I am here to learn, not to teach. Besides, you don't want to spend the whole thread talking about which Hobo International bags you like best I could do that all day and so I have nothing left to offer!

[dramatic sniffle] What more can I do?

tethers if you know a proper cobbler/shoe maker it is v. easy to change straps on that kind of bag.
It is a nice one but there is no mention of the size.

What about this? www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/tory-burch-satchel-colorblock-crocodile?ID=599390&CategoryID=23557#fn=spp%3D1%26ppp%3D96%26sp%3D1%26rid%3D52

Thank you again for all the links...

I think I will find out if the Massimo Dutti one is big enough and try and get the straps changed.

ive been looking for an origional one of these for some time, found one in hof today that they are holding for me, but tempted to go with this one, anyone ever used kongbag.com?

Bugger. Massimo Dutti one is only 30 x 30 cm

I haven't read the whole thread, so forgive me if this one has been done, but I saw someone with this on the tube the other day and it looked great......

(Zara, which I know you said you weren't keen on, but it really looked fab....)

And agree w you that Mulberry is a bit boring (and a bit of a badge of honour in a way, not at all appealling.....)

orangina- it may have been me; I have that one It's a good bag, but I want something sturdier and better made- the shoulder strap is quite flimsy on it and it's unlined. Thanks though

Ooh, ooh, how about this kate spade number?

even nicer and in the sale

Sorry- not big enough and not keen on the colour.

Just seen some side zip on the second one...... not nice.....

DKNY
kors
zing
too dark?
orange but I have to go feed my monsters

or because I can't afford the balzane tote from longchamps, I would go for that in RL FCUK.

Hi bunionscomingsoon,
really sorry to hear your Owen Barry bag wasnt up to standard, all Owen Barry Bags come with a lifetime guarentee so just send it back and it will be repaired or replaced FOC for you.
We sell their bags and honestly they are the best quality of any that we know.
Message me if you need an address or any help sorting it out.

english cow i would sent them a pm as this is a very old thread!

er - - was that comment a year old?? - - think she may have sorted it by now englishcow tee hee! - do you work for Owen Barry?

Have a wee look at the Clarks website and look at the Temple Beam bags. Totally gorg and lots of room.
