(Never done a weblink on my iPad before so hope this works!).

Saw this bag earlier - it's the right size and shape for what I'm looking for but I was put off by the fact that it's Paul's Boutique and I'm not a teenage girl!

Opinions please? Or has anyone seen anything same style and similar size & price that's better (and maybe not as bright, though the colour of this one was quite nice irl)

Ooh I LOVE it!! And it doesn't have the overt blingy PB branding and hardware that is so offensively teenager-y.

I want it now! Am supposed to be on an 'unnecessary spending' ban though. Oops.

This one is quite nice too...bit more subtle colour.

Thanks - I saw the one you linked to on the website but it looks a bit "boring" compared to the PB one I think (and is much bigger too)

I thought the same about the PB one not being too blingy / chavvy. It has a small gold "plaque" in one side under where the strap attaches that says "Paul's boutique" but otherwise doesn't advertise the brand. I was also put off by the skull studs around the pocket (though to be fair I didn't actually notice them when I first looked at the bag so they're not too obvious either). The bag has an identical outside pocket on the other side that doesn't have the skull studs so thought I could just make sure I carry it with the studs against my body so no one sees them. It's reduced to £27 on my local store too. Did wonder if the colour my come off though when it runs against my body and/or gets wet?

That should've said "if the colour might come off when it rubs against my body" stupid autocorrect

Bumping in case anyone has seen anything similar, but not bright blue!
