Please oh please!

Would like to buy DM a new bag for her christmas present

*She's in her 50's
*She does love her Radley bags! But can't see anything lovely or big enough on the site!
*It absolutely HAS to be cross body (back problems means shoulder bags just don't work)
*It has to be a reasonable size for the sheer amounts of crap she carries
*Has to have a decent strap in order to accommodate the weight of the crap :o
*She's currently using a knock off ( albeit a very good knock off ) Mulberry Anthony (I'd LOVE to buy her the real thing but just dont have the money)
*Zip across the top

Budget is up to £160

I appriciate this is a shockingly fussy list :o

Thank you!!

Ring a Radley outlet and ask them about styles.

Fossil bags?
TK Maxx?

Or indeed this www.houseoffraser.co.uk/DKNY+Vintage+crossbody/171075566,default,pd.html

Wow, thank you!!

She won't like the DKNY one sadly because I love it!

That's a good idea It's ! I'll ring the Bicester village one tomorrow

I don't think any of those are quite right Charlie (Fossil one is a bit to...busy I think is the word!) but thank you so much! I really appriciate you looking!

I've looked at so many theyve all merged into one :o

I got a Mulberry Antony in the outlet for £195... It is grey and v lovely. My mum got khaki. I know it's still over budget though...

Peony & Moore sale

Thanks Amber tbh for the sake of £35, if I can get a real one then I will..May trek up to Bicester village at some point this month to check it out...do you think if I ring them they'll tell me if they have any? and do you think they'll have any in the camel/tan brown if they do? (Heard somewher only the not so popular colours end up at the outlet?!)

Thanks Dont , forgot about them!

They definitely will tell you on the phone, they will even do mail order. I got mine at the Shepton Mallet outlet, my mum got hers at Bicester. They only had grey and khaki/olive when I went, but who knows? Give 'em a ring...

Itsgottabebags · 08/10/2012 08:43

And they will send it in the post for an extra ten pound!

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 08/10/2012 09:04

Ooh excellent!! Will call them this morning! Thank you!!!

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 08/10/2012 10:36

:( just rang them and they do have it but its £245...sadly to much over budget

Back to the drawing board!
