Help me find a lovely purse/wallet for under £150

It's my birthday soon and Dh is treating me to a purse/wallet. I want one which isn't the size of a small clutch! Nothing bigger than 15cm by 10cm.
I want top quality but very low key branding - branding inside is ok but metal name plates on the outside is a big no no - not even keen on stamped names on the outside, no obvious patterns like Orla Kiely either.

I need enough space for a few credit cards, some cash and a zipped coin section

I don't have a particular colour in mind.

Please help!

I like the Aspinal one but I can see a metal name badge and it's nearly 20cm long which is too big.

I had one made when I lived in Leeds, about 9ish years ago, by Gregg McDonald. It is just perfect and still in incredible condition. I found the chap who made it last week as I want to buy my husband a wallet, and he no longer sells at the Corn Exchange but does through Etsy - His Shop

Hi Theadwatcher - they are, aren't they!
Mine is a brown leather purse with lots of pockets, lots of card slots, a coin purse in it, and it is lined in a Japanese cotton print. I can't see the design in his shop but he must still have it. It was very reasonable considering it's handmade (iirc about £60). I really admire people with a talent like he has.

They are lush porky
I like the hand made in Britain, heirloom classic style of them.
Definately a consideration for my next birthday present :)

What did you decide OP? I should so not have looked at the Blair Sorley site. Grin

Mulberry sale.
John Lewis have a decent selection. I have a Billy Bag one from there. Really nice one that people always say "Ooooh, like your purse!"

So far I have decided I don't want a black purse - I also want something a bit more feminine/stylish than a wallet - I have had a wallet for years. I think I may have to get a purse a bit bigger than I initially thought.

I like this one for classy good looks

Mulberry zip around

But I'm also tempted by the Aspinal's zip around in brighter colours - the Guardian featured a zip around wallet by Uterique I liked the orange one but it's so frustrating when they don't show the internals on websites and I've seen lovely versions by Dent too, I think I need to have a feel before purchase but I have now got more of an idea of what I'm looking for - I just have to wait to fall in love with the right one - hopefully not the Mulberry as it's way over budget.

I adore Orla Keily's zip arounds but her patterns are everywhere - its a bit overdone around these parts.
