Tan leather cross body bag- need inspiration

[MincePieDiet]

I'm looking for a brown or tan leather bag that can be worn cross body so I can be hands free. Really need some inspiration. No budget as such. Happy with designer labels but dislike obvious branding.

Anya Hindmarch. This can also be worn OTS, and has very practical pockets.

Mimi berry peggy

i have this in black by fossil which i love. also in tan and brown.

White stuff have several on their website

I like this one www.whitestuff.com/mobile/accessories/womens-accessories/bags-purses/tan-camden-bag/

I have this one from M&S. It is really nice quality leather, surprisingly roomy.

I just brought one from joules. It's great. Really good size.

This is fab and no obvious branding. Leather is fab. www.mulberry.com/shop/mens/messenger-bags/antony-oak-natural-leather

Thanks for all the lovely ideas. Mominatrix the maxi zip would be great if it were darker tan and without the green trims. Tethers the mini berry one is perhaps too structured. The fossil one I quite like. The joules one won't work due to the navy trim. The m&s one is too dark. The mulberry one maybe a contender but am not a mulberry fan as had a bayswater which fell apart years ago and the customer service was shocking. Have heard the quality of mulberry has gone further south.
So......anyone have any other suggestions?

I should have added in the initial brief that I am quite particular

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Natasha is a fab bag but I don't think it's still made in tan, you might track one down though.

I like the Chloe marcie

bigger version

Also like this jigsaw one.

How big do you need it to be?

Are you fixed on tan? The Anya Hindmarch bag comes in plain grey http://m.anyahindmarch.com/This-Season/Maxi-Zip-Satchel/Medium-Grey-5050925868204.html?start=39

Or this from Whistles (25% off at the moment) http://www.whistles.com/women/accessories/bags/duffy-zip-satchel.html?dwvar_duffy-zip-satchel_color=Dark%20Grey%23start=1

Damn link fail...

The marcie is lovely. Not sure which one I like best. The rounder one looks great cross body...but the larger one has carry handles too but then not sure how that looks cross body.
The jigsaw one is nice but not a winner.

I was recently given this in tan. Love it.

Sorry should have said it is an Osprey one.

Jigsaw have several nice tan cross body bags at the moment from smallish to quite a large one. I also love the Chloe Marcie but cannot afford one right now..

DH bought me this for Xmas. I like it .

I have this Marcie in a darker tan and it's heavy www.selfridges.com/en/chloe-marcie-medium-shoulder-bag_221-3001525-3S0860161NUT/?previewAttribute=Nut that's what stops me using it as it's not an across body bag and actually starts to hurt my shoulder after a while.

The anya zip satchel comes I lots of colours. I really like the fabric strap but I know that puts a lot if people off.

Handbags are my weakness and my annual bonus is nearly always spent on a new bag after paying for a family holiday.

Oh and re mulberry. I've not had an issue. I don't think the new bags are worth £1000 plus but the classic designs like the bayswater and the Anthony across body are still fab. I have had my anthony for at least 6 tears now though.

Fossil usually have some really nice tan across the body bags. I've got a coupe from previous seasons. If you have an Outlet shop they are cheaper there.

I've also bought recently from Cath Kidston. It's a nice leather bag.

I've got 3 Mulberry bags which fit the brief but they were expensive.

HelpMe thanks for saying it's heavy I think it feels heavy empty in the store. Think the thin strap would dig in too much. Also if I was going to spend that I would buy a bag that would hold its value better like this one which I was originally thinking of but hard to justify the cost. I love bags too and only buy one decent bag each year. But I look forward to and think about my bag purchase all year. Interesting about the mulberry Anthony. It's very similar in style to the link above.

I don't think you can beat the Anthony for an across body bag in terms of practicality and longevity, but it does get a bit boring and I like to swap and change my bags. I keep looking at the mulberry Effie across body for this years purchase but fancy something with a bit of colour. www.selfridges.com/en/mulberry-effie-satchel_217-82025479-HH1574889G110/?previewAttribute=Oak

I spend a lot of time browsing bags and visiting stores to try them out.

I've seen this one mentioned on several blogs, and looks a good alternative to the Marcie. www.johnlewis.com/jigsaw-alicia-shoulder-handbag/p1854298?colour=Tan

I love the hermes one in your link, but dread to think what the wait list time is for it and the price. this is at the top of the short list this year www.selfridges.com/en/alexander-mcqueen-legend-leather-tote_485-2000084-375315AWP0N/?previewAttribute=Ultramarine

or the more practical www.selfridges.com/en/mulberry-blossom-tote_217-82025479-HH2760/?previewAttribute=Hibiscus

marc Jacobs and kate spade have some lovely across body bags but i've not seen anything in tan.
