Can anyone help me find a large blue handbag?

I've got 20 month old dd & dc2 arriving in a few weeks. I don't want to go down the 'baby bag' route so am looking for a large, ideally soft slouchy leather handbag which I can throw everything into. I have an icandy in sweetpea (annoying colour to match) & will be throwing the bag on the pram a lot so thought dark blue prob a good idea for bag colour. I'd adore a mulberry but there's absolutely no way a mulberry is in my near future as we are battening down the hatches for another year of single income! Has anyone seen anything that would be suitable? Ideally in the sales as I love a bargain!

What about this? I got a lovely lime green bag from here about 7 years ago it's stood the test of time really well.

That's def along the right lines (& tempting to buy anyway!) but think I need something darker, closer to navy blue

I have a bag from Zara that is exactly what you describe but it's last year's stock. I have checked and they are not on eBay but there is a stiffer, non-slouchy version with a thinner strap that might be worth a look. I can't do links on my phone but search on Zara Bucket Tote Bag Blue and you should find it.

I would have a look in tkmax. They always seem tohhave bags ogle of all shapes, sizes and colours.

I tried Zara online but only sale stuff, I will try googling this one ta! Tk max had nothing but ill try popping in again next wk as their stock changes often. Thanks for suggestions!

That satchel is gorgeous eight

Thank you badger. My very first style and beauty recommendation. I tend to avoid this board as I am very unfashionable lacking in fashion awareness.

That Russell and Bromley tote is so amazing!!! I want it!!!

leannac · 26/01/2013 12:51

You are all geniuses! I love two of the above (mariella & ollie & nic) so will order them online & see if they're suitable.

Thank you!!

Look at the lining on the betsy & betts! I'm going to have to order lots of these then decide as not 100% sure I don't need something closer to navy, much as I'd prefer a brighter blue

I love this in the blue colour, not sure if it's what you're looking for?
