I have reached the grand old age of 33 without ever buying a real handbag (rather than a cheap faux leather one from somewhere boring...). I need a large bag for work. I have been looking for a while but have no idea of brands. Budget maybe up to £100? I think I might have too many criteria:
Must be black, or silver, or grey, or purple, possibly deep red.
Must be large enough for A4 papers, and my lunch, and an iPad, as well as all the usual handbag crap.
Can't be Radley - find them annoying.
Metalic trimmings to be in silver, not gold.
Mustn't look like it's my mother's. Mustn't look like I'm a teenager. But maybe has something a little bit quirky (not sure what). But needs to be suitably smart as I wear smart or suit for work.
Must be able to close with a zip, not just a popper, to prevent people stealing my purse while on the Tube.
This looks ok, but just a bit boring.
Any help gratefully received!
