Help me find a new bag

14 replies

I'm looking for a new bag. It's for the times I don't need a nappy bag and just want to chuck in a (fat) purse, sunglasses, keys, phone.
I am not normally a fan of Radley bags (I find the little dog thing too twee) but I like the size and shape of the large, Tan Border crossbody bag.
Ideally I would like it to be zipped as well as have a fold over flap thingy. (The Border just has flap, not zip) and I have a max budget of £200. It needs to be casual as I'm mostly in jeans and Converse. Doesn't necessarily have to be leather, but if it is leather, I'd prefer something softer rather than stiff and structured.
Does my perfect bag exist? All suggestions welcome :)
(A Mulberry Antony would be lovely but is out of budget!)

Anybody?! Help!
What about radley border vs modalu pippa crossbody? Or suggest something else entirely?

Have a look in tkmaxx. They have some nice leather tan ones not too ddifferent from the one you linked to for around 30 pounds.

How about something like this Mariella slouchy bag or this
smaller bag. I have a few of theirs, gorgeous soft leather.

Thanks for the links. I think I'm looking for something taller than it is wide (or square), or sort of small messenger bag style? Stupid as it sounds, I don't want something traditionally "handbaggy" in shape.

Oooh. How often are Mulberry Antony's in the outlets? Would they send them out in the post, because I'm not near any :(

I saw some Fossil ones in John Lewis but none of them spoke to me...

Mulberry outlets will post bags providing they aren't seconds. Think that they often have Anthony's, there is normally a rough stock list on the purse forum's Mulberry page.

fossil key-per bags. can adjust across body strap so can be over shoulder length,and has two little carry handles so can grab and go, zip top, pocket at front and extra zip compartment inside
