I'd like something medium to large size, not too structured but not sloppy either, definitely leather, nothing blingy or ostentatious (def no dkny, michael kors or the like), to be worn off the shoulder but also hand held, can be used for morning or evening, with jeans and dresses. Budget no more than £300. Or am I looking for an impossible?

Have a look at

IDugUpADiamond · 31/05/2014 21:08

thanks Ceecee, That one again is nice but way too sober for me. I am a SAHM and still would want to use the bag on the school run Wink

It's trickier than I thought, black seems scarce this season!

ohmymimi · 31/05/2014 21:11

Have a look at buy my wardrobe.com. They've your Prada bag for £499. A McQueen hobo for £250 and quite a few more black bags.

IDugUpADiamond · 31/05/2014 21:15

I guess black is not what most people would be looking for come summer. Still, the croc tote one from Plumo is gorgeous but not quite what I want. I'll have a look at mywardrobe now, thank you.

Gah my internet keeps crashing. I love black but today have found loads of navy, greys and browns.

I just did a list of possibilities from john Lewis website then lost the lot. White company have a lovely tote but not the two desired handles

ohmymimi · 31/05/2014 21:40

Good luck. I've just had to use all my willpower not to buy a lovely Gina bag I found while scouting for you!

You need a Radley grosvenor. Reduced at the moment too (until midnight I think).

I have one in tan and LOVE it. Buttery soft leather and very comfy strap.

tethersend · 31/05/2014 22:30

Or this is a bargain.

IDugUpADiamond · 01/06/2014 07:54

I have been lusting over the Radley Grosvenor for ages. It really is stunning, and I am not usually a fan of Radley at all. Here's what's stopping me right now though, if I ever get that elusive job interview, I am not sure that this bag would ever look dressy enough. Or am I wrong?

May I also ask for your opinion on this bag? It's way above budget but I do know someone going to the USA soon...

What about this one from Pia. here

IDugUpADiamond · 01/06/2014 20:58

Oh Shosha thanks but I really don't like it at all, I find it a bit old fashioned.
