Views on these two bags???

[polyhymnia]

Have identified two bags that meet most or all of my criteria for an every day work/casual bag in terms of ouside pockets, straps, etc. Both navy and tan would go with most of my wardrobe.

This: www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Accessories/Bags-Wallets/AM210-NAV/Womens-Navy-Soft-Leather-Bowling-Bag.html#nav

and this: www.peonyandmoore.com/product_info.php?cPath=0_12&products_id=205

Views on which is better, please. I know there's quite a price difference, specially as I have a Boden 20% off code. But P and M also have codes from time to time.

Happy to have other suggestions, but no non-leather, M and S, Radley, Modalu, or Michael Kors, please (or Mulberry!).

On the P and M Mariella, have previously ordered one and sent back but that was mostly because I didn't like the shiny leather of the 'toffee' colour. This new version's in the matte grainy leather I prefer.

TIA

I like the LKB too, especially the little hint of orange. Navy and orange are such a good combo.

Unfortunately it's even lovelier in RL, IMO!

The LKB one, that is!

Sorry so excited posted same thing twice. Like your thinking on the economics! It would be an everyday bag.

I've had my eye on the boden bag for ages, I think it's gorgeous. Am after one of the brighter colours though. If I had a 20% code I would probably give in and get it....

P and M one looks lovely, as does the LKB one. Boden one doesn't look nearly as good to me.

What are you going to buy? Don't forget the bag economics when deciding!

Mariella

Slight highjack but does anyone have the red Mariella? Bargain price but worried it may look a bit plasticy shiny IRL

I had the toffee one in 'shiny' leather, not the red. I did send it back mainly because it just looked too shiny for my tastes but I wouldn't say it was a plastic-y shininess IYSWIM.
