Please tell me about brands I may have overlooked for leather bags

[Blackcurrantvodka]

For the past few years I have been searching for the perfect tan leather cross body bag. Not too hard or structured, nice soft leather, no obvious branding, not too many details/too much hardware but not too plain either...I'm not asking much am I?!! I tend to be drawn towards Madewell (although not at the moment, all too structured), Fossil, J. Crew, Anthropologie, M&S men's dept and Kooba but nothing is floating my boat right now, so tell me, lovely stylish Mumsnetters, what brands have I overlooked? Budget not particularly important but I'd rather spend £150 than £600!

Jaeger (outlet too) has great quality bags.

Have you looked at Furla? Nor sure what they have at the moment, but I've a delicious hobo. I also have a lovely Dickinson and Jones everyday cross body that is lovely leather. I got it in house of Fraser.

White Stuff? Look on Yoox.com too...

Grandala

Mimi berry
Coccinelle
Toast
Lamb 1887

Jigsaw, karen millen and russell and bromley.

I have one from The Leather Store on notonthehighstreet that I like.

I'll take your budget and get me a Fossil bag from their new range! Love them

The Bridge

Michael Kors. Beautiful and durable. Any day of the week

I've got a lovely leather Paul Costelloe bag, have you looked there?

Ooh lots of places I hadn't thought of, thanks all! I'm off to spend naptime googling...

Look at www.tusting.co.uk
Beautiful bags, excellent quality but understated

I was looking at & other stories bags last night, some lovely ones.

Also Cos and jigsaw.

I got a lovely cross body bag from coach in their sale. £250 ish normally but it was half price. They had loads in their sale this summer so hopefully in January they will do the same!

Coach (who have excellent customer services), or Mulberry.

oh sorry , mis read I though you meaant budget was 150 - 600.

Scratch Coach and mulberry then.

& other stories has great leather bags.

Etsy has a surprising number of affordable high qualit handmade leather bags but your do have to weed through the selection a bit and it might take a few weeks to get to you as it's usually made to order.

Are you familiar with Meli Melo?

www.melimelo.com/collections/cross-body-bags

The brand was originally popularized by Olivia Palermo (Thela) but they do different styles now and some really beautiful cross body bags.

Mimi Berry, as mentioned upthread. If you're anywhere near Bicester Village the Furla and Cochinelle stores there often have lovely stuff at a reduced price. I love my Celine Trio and think it's the perfect cross body. It's £££ though so look at Aurora London, who do a 'tribute' that can be monogrammed. Finally, JCrew, Boden and LK Bennett all do cross body bags very similar to the currently v fashionable Gucci Disco. Happy hunting!

Whistles is fab for bags at around the £200-£300 price point

Also, BeckSöndergaard do some nice ones, there's one in the Coggles outlet with a good discount but that one might be a tad small, rest of the outlet is also worth looking at. The Outnet is also worth keeping an eye on.
