Anyone bought a nice cross-body bag recently?

[JessiCake]

I'm looking for a nice cross-body bag for spring/summer when I tend to be out and about in the park etc with DD and I need something practical.

I have up to £100 to spend.

I like traditional saddlebags (in fact, the size of a medium-ish saddlebag is exactly what I need, not massive but just enough for wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, small sunscreen) but I'm not wedded to the idea of that style.

Fpr spring/summer I don't even mind if it's not leather - fabric or canvas can look good and be practical with spillages etc.

I am into bright colours at the moment so anything goes, really - though I still love my nudes and naturals - and the only style I could be certain I wouldn't like is something hippy-ish and boho - can't stand beading or too much embroidery.

I've been looking and looking at eg Gap, Fossil etc but nothing has jumped out at me!

Anything you've found recently, or a good new place/website to try?

Thanks!

Damn you all, I was trying not to spend any money this month and thanks to this thread I have HAD to purchase myself a Zatchel's Saddle Bag in cornflower blue. Admittedly I was wanting a blue bag for a while so it's not like it's a real impulse buy but Grrrr. Or maybe just all round.

Love my Trakke Bairn Mk2 Messenger bag

I just ordered the silver Joules one
Going on a city break soon and I think it will be perfect. I was tempted by the blue one but I think silver will go with more
Very good price as well

I have a Cross body le pliage in grey I love it!

Thanks for the tip exercisejunkie... I just bought this one www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/longchamp-le-pliage-neo-fantaisie-shopper_289-2001484-1512634/?previewAttribute=Pinky

It was over budget but I properly LOVE it - hoping it will work as a cross-body - will see when it gets here...

Thanks again all!

Though I'm in two minds and wonder if I should have bought the blue instead... I love that one too... maybe I love it even more... aaarrrgggh

Oh dear . I guess wait and see what it looks like then swap for the blue if it's not quite right? Not ways easy shopping online.

I love my Zatchels- I have the larger size with a magnetic fastening. Everything fits in it, it's a classic, and there's 50% off right now.

love the Gusti-Leather bags

Fantastic jessicake! It works well for me as I'm short, might now on someone taller.
I'm a nanny so need cross body and this is my work bag.

Ah - I'm tall with a looooong body... oh, well, I'll cross everything that it's OK when it arrives... can always send it back (with a heavy heart, I absolutely love it but won't be able to justify it unless it can work cross-body...)

Sticking one of these straps on my le pliage to add some colour!
