need some ideas please - leather handbag - brown or tan - budget low!

[nipersvest]

can't afford a bayswater

but would like real leather, perhaps up to £100, but £50 more realistic.

any ideas??

www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Dickins+Jones+Hampshire+hobo+bag/173943383,default,pd.html

something like that perhaps? Maybe not that exact one but maybe the style?

too taupe-ish and dull?
bargain again but not exciting
better?

I like this one www.amazon.co.uk/Gusti-Genuine-Leather-Shoulder-M23/dp/B007Y4KOOC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2CCQORU04WN7W&coliid=I1YE55417VUG2I

And it does seem to have good reviews.

Now I keep hanging my nose over those Gusti bags, but some reviews are awful, apparently the bags aren't very good quality and smell goaty.

They are just what I'm looking for, and the right price, but I don't want to smell of goat!

Haha I did read that review, maybe its just a leathery smell?

This is nice www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-top-zip-crossbody-handbag-tan/p231779196?s_afcid=af_79682

I love handbags!! Used to have a mulberry fetish but thankfully grown out of that one!!

I now mostly buy Russell & Bromley tan leather bags from eBay (approx £100) everyone I have bought has been in immaculate condition (there are some serious handbag obsessers out there that very rarely use their bags then sell them on!!) or failing that river island always has really nice leather bags for approx £50

Not massively Mulberry-esque - but I love this.

I know it's m&s but I like this one

i like them all

the gusti ones are really nice, lol at goat smell though!

am thinking tk maxx is a good place to start isn't it, then i can try them out and also decide between cross the body or shoulder bag.

I have that m& s one and am very pleased with it! Hoping it'll last a while because it's exactly the right size/shape/design for me

Had also seen a similar Fossil one in John Lewis - gorgeous but out of my budget (sorry can't link but on website!).

I´ve literally just now bought another handbag from Gusti Leather, this will be my third item from them now. I think they´re absolutely great! Do have a bit of a strong leathery smell at first, but it goes away pretty quickly. Good price, the wallet I got my OH is still going strong, and nice quality leather. My daughters school satchel would also be pretty good for a changing bag I guess.

This is the one my daughters got. It has pretty good reviews too.

Tk Maxx are also online op.

Have a look at The Big Handbag Shop on Amazon. I've just bought tan leather cross-body bag from them for £29.99.
