I think I'd like a grey handbag.

Gosh, that sounds dull, doesn't it? But I'd like one. I am not a massive £££ spender - max £100-ish. Lighter grey (I think) rather than dark, dark grey.

Or is it too dull? I wear lots of greys, blues, blacks with the odd splash of pink or purple - so I am thinking it would be a good bag for all of those.

Nearly always in jeans/casual stuff (work from home) so nothing too corporate.

Please will you help me find something?

I've seen grey bags in both Whistles and Jigsaw recently. I think they are lovely.

Thanks for the Jaeger link - i just bought the tote - excellent value for less than £60 and a silk scarf seemed to sneak into my basket to Blush

margaritasbythesea · 13/02/2016 16:31

Glad to be of service!

MoreGilmoreGirls · 13/02/2016 16:37

told myself i wouldn't buy anything but that Warwick Tote in Bordeaux was too good to pass up on. thank you margaritas :)

NobodyNose · 13/02/2016 21:25

Thank you all - really like the Warwick one - but (and big but) it looks cream on my screen, despite being described as grey.

Mint velvet have nice grey bags

NobodyNose · 13/02/2016 21:45

Love the Jigsaw one a lot - but it is sooo big. I am only 5'1'' and it would drown me. Do you think I could maybe bung it into the wash to shrink it? Grin

I bought a nice one in White Stuff today, it's called the Jasmine hobo bag I think. Soft leather, got a zip and a nice grey. I'm a summer so black isn't an option but the grey will go with so much.

NobodyNose · 14/02/2016 11:05

Looked at the White Stuff one - I think I'd prefer a more upright one - and it even says in the reviews that it kind of flops when you put it on the floor.

Hmmm. The asos one I linked to it out of stock. Hate it when that happens.

This is the one I've got in my sights, if a 20% off offer should happen to come along:
www.whistles.com/women/accessories/bags/barnsbury-5-pocket-bag-21890.html?dwvar_barnsbury-5-pocket-bag-21890_color=Dark%20Grey#start=1
But, apart from the price being out of the range you mentioned, you might think it's too dark.

internaldiscord · 16/02/2016 19:42

hello OP, got my Warwick Tote today and while it was red it was definitely not the same red shown on the website. very much deeper and darker and better than expected, so the grey could actually mean grey and not cream as shown. wonderfully made too even if it is PU :)

cromwell44 · 16/02/2016 21:31

Has anyone bought bags from yoox.com? There are loads of grey bags of all types, under £100. I'm looking for a work bag and there are several possibilites but at £7 delivery, I wonder of anyone has any experience.
Might be worth a look OP.

ChopOrNot · 17/02/2016 20:36

Opinions on this one please? Grey snakeskin Naff or nice?

fiorentina · 18/02/2016 22:35

Sorry to say that one looks cheap to me. I have seen much nicer ones.

burnishedsilver · 18/02/2016 23:26

It looks beige on my screen.

SpeakerOfTheHouse · 19/02/2016 10:32

naff - sorry.
