The third one. Lovely.

GVmama · 08/02/2017 15:40

Second or third for me (second is my favorite)

nannyplumislostinspace · 08/02/2017 17:14

Third one is gorgeous. Imho the first one is massively overpriced.

OatcakeCravings · 08/02/2017 17:16

Third one, the second one is too pale and will get manky, well if it were mine it would!

FetchezLaVache · 08/02/2017 17:18

The third one.

daisydalrymple · 08/02/2017 17:19

Third one fits your criteria best, especially the quietly elegant part. Second bag is also lovely, but more fun rather than elegant.

Number 3!
Then 2
Wasn't too keen on the first one

Loyly · 08/02/2017 17:40

Third one.

Kirriemuir · 08/02/2017 17:41

Third one.

NanooCov · 08/02/2017 17:43

I'm not too keen on any. Second and third too pale and will become manly over time. The first looks plasticky. I'd like the second in tan.

perfectlybroken · 08/02/2017 17:44

In order of pref. 2, 1, 3

Botanicbaby · 08/02/2017 17:46

Agree with everything daisydalrymple said above - choose 3! No 3 is perfect Smile

Not keen on 1.

No 2 looks identical to one I have from asos which has worn extremely well & is very comfortable.

hugoagogo · 08/02/2017 17:48

Do they have inside pockets?

321zerobaby · 08/02/2017 17:51

2 is my favourite. Not keen on the others.

Wow thanks for the response everyone!

I'm edging closer to 2, after having a bit of an obsession with 1 which has been a bit of a stealth 'it' bag for a while but then I read the reviews and lots were saying how flimsy it felt IRL. For such an expensive bag that's a bit of a deal breaker

I'm edging towards the silver one because I wear lots of black, navy, and white and denim and I think it could look a bit more fun than 3, which is more classic. Plus works in summer and winter.

The silver leather one is by aspinal and at £250 significantly less than the other two. It has zip pockets inside an a navy suede interior. Plus just found out that DH can get a 15% discount through some corporate arrangement. Think I've just talked myself into 2 😀

Number one looks like a Liberty knock off- where's it from?
I hate it when the handles of totes pull the fabric like that, it looks so cheap.
Number 3 from me

1 is Goyard St. Louis and yes, I agree

I like 3 as well. Where is it from? Can you fasten any of these? Because if not, that can be a pita. Suppose you could always get a bag tidy though.

fiorentina · 08/02/2017 20:08

Definitely 3 for me.

honeylou42 · 08/02/2017 20:09

Third one Smile

justwhatineed · 08/02/2017 20:17

Number 3 definitely

user1475253854 · 08/02/2017 20:19

3 (though I think you've made your decision Smile )

ForumUsername · 08/02/2017 20:19

2! Smile

Softkitty2 · 08/02/2017 20:24

The saint laurent one. The goyard st louis material chips

Longdistance · 08/02/2017 20:37

I prefer number 3.

Have you looked on zalando for bags. I can spend all evening lusting after bags.
