Handbag - Russell and Bromley or Peony and Moore

[doglover]

I've spotted 2 bags that I like ....................... Any thoughts on either? The P&M ones are the Mariella or Lucia. Alternatively, this one from R&B on ebay

What do you think? I'm 5'9" and a size 18 so need something a decent size otherwise I'll look silly!!

Is the Mariella long enough to be worn as an across the body bag? Are the straps on the Lucia long enough for a 'big bird' like me to wear with a thick jacket?

Don't like ebay one - the bottom edges are too worn for the money they are asking for the bag.

Yes, thanks, MP, you're quite right. Too much wine tonight!!

I have the mariella in snake, and I love it. It works well as a cross body bag, it's roomy and not too heavy. I've had lots of admiring comments asking me where it's from :)

Many thanks, TW. Sounds promising!

I want a mariella in aubergine. Don't like the ebay one - it looks ordinary imo.

I've got the Mariella in pink from last year and a Lucia too from last year. Both gorg, I like the Mariella tho as it has across body strap as well as shoulder strap.. Lucia smaller than Mariella...

I saw the Mariella at a Christmas Fair -- It's a very lovely bag - yes long across the body strap and it is a fairly big bag. The leather is very soft and gorgeous. My problem is I want the Aubergine AND the Toffee - and have no money for either at the mo.
