Where's your handbag from?

I'm desperately looking for a new handbag, I thought I'd cracked it with a Cambridge Satchel Co EastWest tote but it arrived today and I'm massively underwhelmed. Plus I just can't live with the lack of inner pocket. So for inspiration purposes Grin can I be nosy and ask where your current handbag is from?

I swap between 3 from Modalu;
Wilton in black saffiano leather
Phoebe mini grab in beige saffiano leather
Erin cross body in claret leather.

I love the quality, structure and style of Modalu bags and would probably buy more of funds allowed! Even the oldest one still looks like new and I put my bags through hell Blush

A black Mulberry del Rey is my everyday work handbag. And I love it. My everyday casual bag is a battered mulberry that is so old that I can't even remember name of style. Was bought at a time when you could get a mulberry in the sale for less than £200 though!

Kate Spade.

Remus I got mine from Primarks. They also sell bag organisers on Amazon. Really handy for the Longchamp.

StickTheDMWhereTheSunDontShine · 01/06/2016 23:44

I have a small satchel from River Island, £22 fits the essentials and stops me carrying about crap I don't need.

My current main, every day bag is s Vera Pelle, it was a gift and I hated it when I opened it, was really disappointed with it. I didn't use it for months but the person who bought it was coming to visit so had no choice. I loved it after a couple if days, it's fabulous quality and the leather is so soft, been using it ever since, about a year now.

I have a brown leather Brampton bag - it's fabulous.

Diamonddealeroncemore · 02/06/2016 07:16

I am currently using a yellow leather hobo bag from Yoshi. Amazing quality for the price and still looks like new.

I do own a few other bags that I've bought at Bicester and now feel are too posh for every day use.

GaryGilmoresEyes · 02/06/2016 09:28

I have a large tan Aridza Bross pink opium bag. I love it. It fits all my wine, I mean work stuff in.

SpeakerOfTheHouse · 02/06/2016 09:30

Peony & Moore georgia, bloody love it.

BestIsWest · 02/06/2016 09:34

M&S tan cross body bag, have had it for 6 years and never found anything as perfect. I need a new tote for work though. Reluctant to spend lots of money since the prawn salad incident.

HahahahaFuckYou · 02/06/2016 10:00

Mulberry. Bought it from a charity shop for £1 and it's actually genuine!

Joneseygirl77 · 02/06/2016 10:02

I currently alternate between 3 bags. Tend to use a Louis Vuitton never full for work (was bought with a work bonus as I've hankered after one for 4 years but couldn't bring myself to spend the money. Then DH went on a health kick whim and upgraded his bike so thought I'd treat myself!)

For weekends I alternate between a longchamp pliage in olive green (used to be my old change bag as I've always hated traditional change bags!) or either a tan Tory Burch cross body bag. Depends on how much stuff I'm having to cart around.

I love handbags though and will happily spend money on them providing it's been one I've lusted after for at least 12 months first!

mrsmortis · 02/06/2016 10:13

I'm currently looking because my trusty black leather slouchy radley finally died after 15 years.

I'm using an old Longchamp in the interim. But I need something smaller that I can find things in....

lifeistooshort · 02/06/2016 10:19

I recently bought an Orla kiely one and was quite impressed with the quality of it. The only drawback is that it didn't have enough internal pocket so I bought an inner bag and a grid it and it's brilliant

Not this one but similar

i do get fed up of heavy leather bags
Le Pliage are so much lighter.

I alternate between quite few different bags but the ones I use the most are from Milli Millu (photo), Jimmy Choo and Longchamp.

Old Coach bag, dark brown leather, charity shop.

I have a Fossil black one that I haven't used for a while.

I'm not really a bag person.
