Help my find a bag for my birthday please!

Hello all, it's my birthday next month and I need some help to find a bag. DH got me a Mulberry Anthony a few years back (was my 40th so therefore an expensive gift!), and I've used it pretty much every day since. I need a new bag, but not of the £400+ variety! I guess my budget would be around £150-200. Needs to be leather, needs to be fairly sizeable, but am thinking maybe it's time to get a shoulder bag rather than a cross body bag (even though I've always only ever worn cross body - even as I type I'm thinking maybe stick to cross body - argh!) If I do go for a more 'ladylike' bag, ie, shoulder bag, it's got to be a tote, very simple shape and style - I wear trainers / brogues and jeans every day and am not a girly girl in the least. I'm stuck with where to start looking. Any tips?

I love the 2nd hand designer shops, they sell VERY good quality bags etc. I still use a retro leather satchel, I bought in the late 70s (I couldn't afford to buy one that's even HALF as good quality now) .

If you live near London there are quite a few opposite Harrods, down a small road on the left.

Coach bags are excellent quality and in your price range

Whistles or Cos do good quality, roomy leather totes bags in your price range.

I always recommend Fossil for that budget and a casual wardrobe.
