The Michael kors tags come off easy enough. I have a jet set medium slouchy one and I removed the key ring type tag and it's lovely. Nice soft leather. Equally as nice leather as my Chloe Marcie which u paid a lot more for or any of my mulberry/marc jacobs handbags.
I can't find them online but kate spade do a lovely bag. It's a bit more expensive at £250-300 but worth that bit extra if you can stretch to it.
I wasn't keen on the two peony and Moore bags I ordered. One was a Lucia (think that's what it was called) and it just didn't feel like a £100+ bag.
