I don't generally like Radley. Cross body bags often feel somehow awkward on me. I've never had a bag with "grab handles" rather than longer ones that go on my shoulder. It's orange! But for some reason I am drawn to it .....Opinions please?

Meh, looks more peach than orange to me, and a bit cheap, sorry

I really like it as a 'summer bag'. Good price too.

MrsLettuce · 07/05/2016 21:34

It's really not to my taste but that's surely not relevant, is it? An orange bad sounds like a good thing to have. Rather fancy one myself but I've got a lovely mustardy yellow one so it'd be hard to justify.

ok if you are under 30

Looks too techie for older

I think it's officially Coral rather than orange. It looks more coral than orange too.

I don't general like many of the bags posters ask for advice on here but... I really quite like it for summer. I'm also nearing 40!

Wenchelda · 07/05/2016 22:14

I agree it's more coral than orange. For some reason it just appeals to me, when in theory it's nothing I'd usually go for in a bag (though maybe that's a good thing - I have a cupboard full of bags completely different to this but none of them feel right to me when I actually use them!) I'm mid 30's but don't have the need for a "grown up" looking leather bag so something more casual is fine. I've ordered it to see what it's like IRL.

I've no idea why Radley get such a bad rap on MN. They are well made,not overly expensive and last ages.

Go for it if you like it OPSmile

If anyone is interested, I ordered the bag and it's lovely. Even nicer IRL than in the picture. Seems gods quality and has a lovely feel to it - it's soft and squashy but at the same time structured enough that it keeps its shape and the contents doesn't flop all over the place. Perfect size for me too. Glad I took the plunge!

Great! Smile

MrsJayy · 10/05/2016 08:52

Oh you bought it good its nice quite fancy it for myself.

Wenchelda · 10/05/2016 11:16

I might even get the black version for winter ... Shame it doesn't come in more colours as I generally don't like black but it's such a lovely bag I may have to make an exception!
