<wails> Will I EVER find that elusive tan leather A4-folder-holding handbag?

[tethersend]

For under £200?

No.

I won't.

Unless...?

So... How much have you spent on the 2 not so good ones?

And wasn't it a Chloe that you wanted in the first place?
the sales are still on... :o

ebay the Radley and put it in the Chloe fund

It was a chloe marcie that I really wanted- well remembered!

I sent the radley one back, so no joy there. Spent £60 on the chloe rip off and the bought the monsoon one. I seriously am never going to have enough to own a marcie

Ah ok... bugger!

They are so pretty

Have you looked on The Outnet?

I have one! It was Francisco Biasia a couple of seasons ago... It's huge, but perfect.

It was from TKMaxx of course!

Tula Fitzgerald

Mikey Tote

too pale?

M Kors over budget but I have this and it's a great bag!

also over budget but two for price of one!

bit plain?

ooh I like this

Actually that second one has T for tethers on it. It's a sign.

This? www.radley.co.uk/hawthorn-large-work-bag/

Thanks all. None of these are doing it for me.

I think I want something more vintage and rounded looking. Possibly saddle bag style.

This? www.perfecthandbags.co.uk/products/Brown-Tan-Leather-Shoulder-Handbag-Saddle-Bag-Style-by-Smith-%26-Canova.html

That's definitely the closest so far- have been watching one on ebay for about a year, but not sure enough... Don't suppose you've seen it IRL?

this?

No I haven't sorry but I have seen some smith and canova in tkmaxx maybe worth a look to see what quality is like? Even if they don't have the same style?

Do you reckon you could get a laptop into that Canova saddle bag? I think it may be a bit small...

They seem to have some nice bags on that site. Why did I start looking!?

Hmm I think you could but probably not much else :-/

Ooh this fits a 15inch laptop? Maybe too dark?

I have been on this exact mission for years! The closest I have come is one from this company: www.rudsak.com/en/women/handbags/shoulder-bags/ruma-small-cohiba-brun

It isn't that exact one but similar. Not sure if they ship to UK from Canada though.

All of their leather is super soft and gorgeous!

Not sure if the strap on this one is too long to count as a shoulder bag? www.rudsak.com/en/women/handbags/delma-cognac

Shame this one doesn't come in the cognac colour: www.rudsak.com/en/women/handbags/dama-cohiba-brown

Those rudsak ones look gorgeous!

similar?
