I am nosy Grin and I'd love to know what handbag you are all using right now. Post a pic if you can. I'm after a new one and would like some inspiration!

My current one is this: www.bettyhemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/Longchamp-Planetes-Hobo-Bag-01.jpg

But mine is brown not black.

Purple i am very jealous of your patent mabel.

I still regret not getting a pink patent mabel a few years ago

Purpleknickers · 17/05/2013 16:04

Smile thanks allthingspretty you could try e bay for a pink one maybe? I know Mulberry trawl e bay and eradicate the fakes

TheCraicDealer · 17/05/2013 16:07

A fudge Mulberry Evelina. That link is probably fake btw, but couldn't find a genuine linky!

DP chose it for me when he was in Cheshire Oaks last month. I luff him.

Mulberry Antony in Goat skinConfused

It's a golden colour in reality, very nice. Bought it a few years back half price, cost about £180, can't believe the price now. I would like one in midnight blue but I can't see me affording it now.

I was thinking about it for last Christmas then prices went up again. I bought a camera insteadGrin

How wonderful to check back on one's thread and find all these beauties ((salivates)). I am seriously Envy of the Mulberries...I had a chocolate congo a while ago but I sold it as the rolled straps never stayed on my shoulder and it drove me mad.

TheCraigDealer I can't open the link Sad

The purple Mabel is very pretty...how do you cope with no shoulder strap, Purpleknickers? Two DCs and an effervescent dog means I need to be hands free...

More more more please Grin

Slug - same question to you! Lovely bag (I love anything flowery - my bag is vvv dull) but needs a constant hand on it...

Mulberry Anthony - so classic and PRACTICAL too! How much does it hold, Doyouthink? Does it have any pockets/compartments? fartoolazytoresearchitmyself

I love my bag, its a a Mimi Berry peggy, except mine is red, and made from the most beautiful leather which is looking even better now it's getting older.

KatoPotato · 17/05/2013 17:31

this is my bag today

timidviper · 17/05/2013 17:33

Mine is also a Mulberry, it's a camera bag which is small yet deep from front to back so you can fit loads in. This link is prob fake though as I can't find a real one, www.muloutletukyork.com/mulberry-women-postmans-lock-camera-leather-satchel-bag-black-p-630.html

After much deliberation bought this few months ago, loved it to begin with but excitement has now worn off. Don't think I will spend that much on a bag again, first time I'd really bought a 'grown up' bag!

Arcadia · 17/05/2013 17:42

In tan not black

AlwaysSleepingBeauty · 17/05/2013 17:55

There are some very chic handbags around!

Mine rather pales in comparison to some of these designer bags- but I'm carrying a vintage black leather bag with a metal purse style clasp. It's from the 1950s but not any particular label as far as I know.

faustina · 17/05/2013 18:11

this one except in black. Unlike the picture, it's all squishy and slouchy - it doesn't stand up straight at all. I LOVE it. Also it's indestructible!

daisydoodoo · 17/05/2013 18:19

My current one is a mn pet hate. Across the body messenger navy blue polka cathkidston. TThe children brought it for me for Christmas.

I do have a cupboard and a storage box full of beautiful handbags as well and often swap about but current is as above.

This is mine - execept in a deep reddy purply colour. Courtesy of my dad who decided one day that his credit card was looking a little neglected Grin

This is my most used bag (with the dog removed) - I love it! So very practical for day to day work use.

You will laugh but I have just bought this

www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=9887729&langId=-1&categoryId=&searchTerm=Stella&pageSize=20

My daughter and I were looking for clothes for her and I started looking st bags and yes, it's Paul's boutique but I have taken off the charm and the bag is really nice. I'm nearly fifty, hardly Paul's boutique target market!
