Please can you help me find a bag?

this one from Whistles is nearly perfect. The leather is soft, the strap it the right length. In fact the strap is perfect because you can sort of double it up so it becomes a shoulder bag. I'd prefer it if it zipped up rather than having a magnetic catch. I've seen it in person so I know. But the big problem is the colour. The grey was a bit dull, I don't like navy, I've not seen the "nude" (but it'd get filthy), the black might do. I'd really like something brighter, orange or grass green. Not pink, yellow or blue. Might consider turquoise. Failing that, brown. Not tan or nude, a darkish brown (but not really really dark), like a horse's saddle.

how about this orange coral one?

In all seriousness, go and have a look in TK Maxx. They have some incredible hand bags, and even some designer bags on a big discount!

It is very similar to the Anya Hindmarch Maxi Zip Satchel. Get googling - the sales have just started so you might be able to nab one, she often does bright colours

in fact here's an Anya Maxi zip in the sale in Orange

That's still pricey even in the sale madam - I just had an email that these these have a sale on - up to half price on some bags - Smile

It reminds me a bit of fossil bags - they do bright colours.

any good?

Or this?

They have the black Whistles at oxfam online

On a slightly different topic be careful with Whistles bags...

when they went trendy (about 5 years ago?) and changed main designer I bought a new bag (had one of their old bags) - not had it more than 3 months when stitching and glued on stuff came undone. Complained and they actually refunded as not fit for purpose. for that reason ever since I've avoided their bags.

little update. I ended up with this. which is rather ironic as I did say not pink in my OP. it's lovely and soft, the right size etc. Was half price at Biscester, so in my budget. superfly I heeded your advice on the whistles, I was close to buying it, but for that price I don't want the hassle of a wonky bag.
