I need a new purse...any suggestions?

[slinkyboo]

I have a Radley purse at the moment but it has aged badly and is, well...(((whispers))) very mumsy. I am indeed a mother but I am not 65.

What I really want: brown leather (tan or chestnut probably), LARGE as I have masses to fit in it, photo sleeve, zipped pocket/s for coins, good quality, leather, ideally lots of compartments. Is this possible??

Budget £100 maximum.

in advance.

Oooh just seen other messages...sooo many lovely purses (((swoon)))

Love the Pippa! And yes, a good price...

Ruby - stroke away...I sniff Mulberry things too

How on earth do I choose??? At least four of the above purses are ideal

like these?

Found them! The range is from a company called Disaster

Look a bit like what my dd would have, though...think I'll stick to leather.

I have this but in pink - at least, I'm pretty sure it's the same one. I know it's over budget, but it has everything you say you want so might be worth keeping an eye out for it in duty free/sales? I've had it for 5 (I think) years and I still sometimes give it a little stroke. I nearly fainted at the price but now I think it is the best thing I ever bought.

Michael Kors?

Lovely, pastgrace...I also love Longchamp and live near two retailers (am near Paris)! Lots of ????'s but top quality...

Well, I promised I would update....sadly, I have returned home without a new purse

TK Maxx had MASSES. The DCs were sliding down the banisters as I was taking so long looking But nothing was PERFECT. I am a fussy bugger

But...I have fallen in love. I found My Perfect Purse - Orla Kiely, leather and canvas, £103...I was holding it for ages, dithering, before I chickened out thinking how can I justify spending over £100 on a purse??

But I have truly had enough of my mumsy Radley so I'm using my smaller Mulberry again...for the time being

There was one other I was very tempted by...the Radley Portobello Knot...but it was a bit slim.

Sorry to be annoying!

PS Mulberry bought at outlet village for £90 years go before anyone says 'but you spent over £100 on a Mulberry you hypocrite...'. Plus that was pre-DCs when I was working!

Thanks for the update. Glad you found something you liked!

Yes...one day I might have the OK...I need to start a jar of euros!!
