Thanks for your advice regarding my handbag issue. I have found now that the Tula one can also be made into a shoulder bag as it has an adjustable strap, I have tried it like this today and it didn't feel as heavy but don't know if it looks the same as a shoulder one, some bags are just meant to be cross body ones. This bag is good in the way that it has compartments so things can be kept separately for easy access.
However, my other favourite bag is going on Ebay for bidding (current price £1.99), its one I had a while ago and somehow gave to charity, I don't know why because I loved it and used it for years. Its a shoulder bag and doesn't have compartments, apart from the usual zipped one inside and the mobile phone pocket so most things are just in one place, but I love the bag....
I have posted photos of them both here so you can help me to decide. Should I go for the shoulder one and sell the Tula one? I don't want both as I only tend to use one bag at a time for all events.
The tula bag is the one with the long handle.
