Where else to look for a tan handbag?

notasgreenasiamcabbagelooking · 16/08/2013 08:57

I'm looking for a tan bag, big enough for all my stuff and maybe a nappy and some wipes, which can preferably be worn on the shoulder or across body. It must be leather and not too heavy. Budget up to £150 (but could stretch it for something fabulous).

So far I have looked at peony and moore, oushka, M&S, ebay, oasis, topshop, warehouse, mint velvet, jigsaw, massimo dutti, jones the bootmaker, clarks, zara, jaeger, adolfo dominguez, tk maxx, house of fraser, john lewis and debenhams! Is there anywhere else to look?

I like this but I'm worried the leather isn't very good quality.

Russell and Bromley

notasgreenasiamcabbagelooking · 16/08/2013 09:17

Thanks for those. The first one is a bit too grown up for me and I'm not too keen on the colour of the Radley one.

I like that one thanks Jellybelly but it's not wide enough. Had forgotten about Russell and Bromley though.

campomaggi? my leather tan cross body bag is from them, it's really amazing. I got mine from zalando but there are a few UK stockists if you google.

Jack Wills of all places have a lovely tan bag in at the minute. I've seen it IRL and it's gorgeous.

Might not be big enough for you though?

Cheesymonster · 16/08/2013 09:52

I've got the jones bag you linked to op. it is lovely quality, don't worry Smile

notasgreenasiamcabbagelooking · 16/08/2013 09:55

DKNY and Campomaggi both out of my budget unfortunately. Thanks though.

Modalu have lovely bags and are good quality. John Lewis stock then but often only have a few styles so worth looking on the website.

TheHandbagOfGlory · 16/08/2013 09:59

I second Modalu, they have got their new autumn bags on the website now and lots in tan. I have one of their bags and its great, beautifully lined and finished. And their delivery was good too.

This one is £115 down from £225 on the ASOS website:

Kaylin Tote

notasgreenasiamcabbagelooking · 16/08/2013 10:04

Ooh some nice ones on the Jack Wills website, but again out of budget.

That's good to know Cheesymonster. And is it fairly light?

Thanks for those. I do like that Kaylin tote but it looks a bit too structured for me. Am tempted though.

I've got this one from Peony and Moore and I LOVE it. It's very roomy.

Cheesymonster · 16/08/2013 20:45

It isn't too heavy and there lots of pockets. Very comfortable to carry around.

JellyBelly10 · 16/08/2013 23:12

Ooooohhh!!! This one is reduced from £99 down to £35!!!!! I'm tempted to get one and I don't even need one! Jane Shilton

Daddoinghisbest · 16/08/2013 23:22

Sounds like you're looking for the same bag that Oprah had her eye on!

Twinklestein · 16/08/2013 23:29

Try Zalando.co.uk, Sarenza.co.uk & Spartoo.co.uk, yoox.co.uk

I'm currently liking this Michael Kors

notasgreenasiamcabbagelooking · 17/08/2013 11:49

Thanks everyone. In the end I've gone for the Jones Bootmaker one after Cheesymonster's recommendation. I've also ordered an Abaco one from TK Maxx but can't link as it's now sold out.

Do Michael Kors and DKNY share the same manufacturer. Their bags are very similar I do love some of them.
