Handbag help?

7 replies

Hi I need some advice on a work handbag! Basically I'm trying to look a bit more 'professional' at work now I'm back after Mat leave and my previous handbag just isn't cutting it (and is falling apart!)
I love this disaster designs bag:

But I'm not sure it would last?
Basically I want something a bit quirky but still 'professional' (ie not studenty!) big enough to fit a large diary and tablet in and preferably with a longer strap as I hate having my bag stuffed right under my armpit.
Budget up to about £60.00 ish

Any advice?

They are lovely bags not sure about the professional bit, lovely for casual though

I wouldn't call that a professional bag either. Sorry

Yep, I thought it wasn't quite right! Any suggestions/brands I should look at?

Hiya, for £60, I would get something that is a neutral colour, maybe tan, black or teal. More professional looking, if somewhat boring!

A few thoughts on what I mean...

this is leather

not leather but really nice

or something like this

TK Maxx do really great bags so have a look there.

For £60 you could get a beautiful osprey bag that would be fab for work, saw loads in tk maxx store today, and usually loads online too. They're around £200 normally in John Lewis etc

Zara worth a look

Blue
Burgundy
A little over budget but leather and gorgeous

Agree with all the other posters re TKMaxx.
