Cross body bags

Can anyone recommend a nice cross body bag? I am starting a new job soon and will be out and about and need my hands free so want to treat myself to a new bag.

I don't like really huge bags but it should be big enough for the usual stuff - purse, phone, keys...and also an A5 size notebook.

I really like the Mulberry ones but they're £££.

I've just bought a nice Michael Kors one. It was in the sale and cost £102. It has 3 separate compartments and is a nice size. I'll see if I can post a link.....

I have a pink joules one which has been great. It seems hard wearing and comes in several colours. Also nice leather but not as pricey as mulberry. Pretty lining too.

How about a Marc by Marc Jacobs? I've got the too hot to handle hobo which can be worn across body or on the shoulder? On phone so can't link, sorry!

I have this one. A great everyday bag, can be worn cross body or on shoulder and not too big.
I got 25% off on it in a flash sale

I have this one : www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Mint+Velvet+Black+Suede+Leather+Cross+Body+Bag/191964905,default,pd.html

I doesn't look very big, but is (as estate agents say) deceptively spacious! The small front pocket has dividers for tickets/credit cards etc, and there's a phone bit and a zip pocket inside. I love it!

I like that one chablis!

Mint Velvet have lovely stuff, I didn't know they did bags.

I know opinion is divided about Radley - but I have www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/radley-medium-across-body-bag this one which I find very handy - and no dogs hanging off it. Big enough to fit chunky wallet, phone & kindle.

Tk max have loads in stock. I have a lovely purple osprey one

shoom - that JL one is gorgeous. I have some vouchers from Christmas which are burning a hole in my pocket......

I have the tan Joules one. I like the stripey strap. It seems very hardwearing so far.

shoom · 30/01/2014 07:19

CointreauVersial me too, I luffs a soft leather hobo / cross body bag. Smile
