I really like this M by MJ bag. I had one before and found it a great size etc.
However,I'm not mad on the colours available atm. I like the burgundy, not sure on the blue, and I practically never wear black. Except for my winter coat which is charcoal, my DM bought if for me as a gift last year.
Should I just get the black?
Also, do you think the Hillier is better? Does anyone have one?
Or any recommendations on similar styles? I have a toddler, so must be organised before facing the shops,Grin.
Plus, I'm the most indecisive person ever!
Help appreciated, TIA.

I rather like the burgundy one.

Ugh, I can't believe you'd spend so much on a BAG. That's DISGUSTING. I only have one handbag, and I've been using it for TEN YEARS. I can't believe people get SUCKED IN by designer labels. So shallow!

Sorry, just trying to preempt some inevitable responses.

If you aren't that keen on the colours, I wouldn't buy any of them tbh. If you're going to spend the money you need to really love it. Have you tried hunting around other stockists for different options? What sort of colour would you like, ideally?

Harvey Nicks have a decent selection:

Well, apart from the price, I only ever start considering bags which have at least one external pocket to keep my keys within easy reach. These seem rather limited with relatively few compartments.
Just my personal opinion, but I'd soon find a bag like that very frustrating.

Thanks for replies,appreciate it.
Driver thank you for that, didn't want to sound arsey in the OP,Grin.
I had a green one a few years ago,really loved it, great size, and long strap essential as I'm tall. Like the slightly slouchy look, but not too big.
Colour wise, green,red,tan,purple,orange...
I do quite like the burgundy, but would it be a bit heavy in Summer?
I'm in Belfast so choice here is limited. Reluctant to buy online.

I prefer the first bag (second isn't cross body, unless I'm being dumb?). I like the navy, but if you don't like the colours, there's bound to be a similar cross body in your budget. Have you checked the skinnier Freres website? Loads of decent bags.

Oh FFS. MONNIER Freres.

GreenShadow, these bags have a small pouch inside for keys etc.
I am coming to the end of years with one of these.
I am looking forward to going out with keys, phone,purse-and nothing else!!
The joy.
Also, one of the reasons I love the Natasha is because it is such a good size for that, but not irritatingly small,IYKWIM?
