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

[tethersend]

For under £200?

No.

I won't.

Unless...?

Is it worth getting a bespoke one made some where !?
A but late to this and I realise this is men's collection but -maybe this is worth a look their stuff is very good quality and their leathers are lovely

Oops sorry - didn't see you already tried nat et nin, I suspected they might not be structured enough .... Oops

Maybe I just need to get the Radley Grosvenor and use a smaller notebook

Hi tethers - I know this is over budget, but it meets your brief...and is still cheaper than the Chloe and maybe it is worth waiting/saving for? It might also be reduced in a sale at some point or there'll be a code?

The GAP one linked on here seems nice

I have actually considered that one, Shirley... Perhaps you're right. I keep waiting for one to come up on ebay, but it never happens. Hae you seen it IRL?

Waaaay under budget and a change bag. It's shiny and not leather but I use it as a laptop bag everyday so thought it would be worth a look - www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/sp+koto-changing-bags-in-baby-changing-bags-and-mats+B1872?gclid=CPvjrsyTirwCFYUewwodbRwA-Q (the brown one, not the hideous red)

Nope I haven't seen it IRL. I have three Mimi bags (and a clutch/purse thing) including a Peggy bag made form the same hard leather, and the quality of the leather is great and ages beautifully. They are such lovely, unfussy simple bags but after the Nat&Nin disappointment I am cautious of recommending another to you!
I have never seen one on ebay either - if I do I shall let you know!

Oh, don't feel bad- it was all so perfect! Your NN is Shirley (DD2's name), the bag was named after DD1... It's those bag-stuffing bastards who are at fault

I do like it, but will have to think hard about whether I can justify spending that much on a bag.

Maybe you'll all have a whip-round to shut me up

Sorry eyebrows, it has to be leather. Thanks though.

this one?

this?

Right, that's it. I give in. It doesn't exist! Sell a kidney and buy a more expensive one?

Sell a kidney and buy a more expensive one?

These maybe plans!

This one?

I have it in Blue and I adore it, its quite large. Would fit a laptop im sure.

Sorry can't link as on phone, but I got a lovely Paul Costello one from TK Maxx - they have a website too now. It was £275 down to £69

There's a similar one ending on EBay later today, brand new with tags..

betty that second one is beautiful.

Something from further afield?

These guys make beautiful bags but over your budget. A little diversion for those who like to window shop?

Particularly this one? Not sure if the leather is too dark for you though?

Apologies, the link might be crap. It's the shopping bag with flap in the Equestrians section.

Moose, had a browse around your first link... WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS?!

Sorry, can't find the equestrian section...

Sorry tethersend I didn't see that section. That's America for you! If you click my "this" link in my second post, the Equestrians section should be the first item in the second row of pictures?

whoa was not expecting that. Concealed sounds so inconspicuous... as it would be really. Crazy yanks!

That's okay Moose, just using at the insanity of the US!

Sorry, can only see three pics of bags on that link, not two rows...?
