My lovely dad has asked for ideas for my birthday this year and what I really need is a weekend bag.
My old faithful large black bought from Accessorize about 9 years ago has finally given up.

I suspect the budget is up to £50/£60.

I like this but it's too small:

And I don't know what size this is but like it:

I'd like to avoid prints like cupcakes and cath kidston...

Has anyone seen anything nice recently? I'd be really grateful for some options thank you

I've got the purple one but a much older style. Says out of stock online but anytime I'm in m&s they seem to have them. They did them in loads of different colours.

How about Eastpak: www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Eastpak+Station+Bag+Mental+Brown/173951182,default,pd.html

I've had a couple of bags from Eastpak, and the quality is great. They usually have quite a lot of different colours and models available.

Samsonite is also very good: www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Samsonite+Cordoba+Duo+55cm+duffle/150665835,default,pd.html

I don't know if they are too boring for you though

Thank you both, I love the M&S one and the Eastpak brown is nice too - might be best to go for a solid colour anyway...

Cheers

I've got cath kidston but in a different colour to this. It's a really good size and fits everything in easily.
