I'd like black (I'd love leather but doubtful on ££)

Needs to be big enough to fit a4 document wallets / paperwork

I'd like it to go on my shoulder

Preferably £50 / £60

Is this doable wise ones??

New Look have had some nice bags recently. It's not a place I usually shop but I got a fab light blue bag with lots of pocket sections.

Fiorelli is your friend here. I've had some great bags from them. Affordable and last well. Some styles are made with leather but not all.

Iamtheresurrection · 09/09/2017 16:08

M and s have some nice bags just now and there are 20% off codes floating around.

Aderyn17 · 09/09/2017 16:14

Second fiorelli - they have some lovely designs.
Also ollie & nic - think they are a vege brand, they have some nice bags for your budget.

Google Kin by John Lewis freja north/south tote bag.

£49 pounds. Not leather but leather look.

Sorry not sure how to add link but it's a lovely bag.

Black. Leather. Shoulder strap. Should be big enough.

www.runwayaccessories.co.uk/bess-large-grab-black.html

£68.70 reduced from £229.00!!

Aldo make some lovely bags. Have a look around there - I often see them selling black handbags.

PlaymobilPirate · 09/09/2017 16:36

WOW- thanks everyone!

Magnum - nice but a bit 'square'

I really like the asos one - tempted there. I lug lots of heavy student work and the strap looks solid!

Bore - that is beautiful 😍 but looks hard to carry (fine on car days but I use public transport a lot)

I get all my bags at TKMaxx. From luggage to cross body pouches and wallets. Excellent selection.

PlaymobilPirate · 09/09/2017 16:42

Will have a mooch on tkmax website 😁

No probs, I've used it as a laptop bag for work so it is a bit boring but really spacious for folders etc and a bit nicer in real life I think.

Loads of choice out there though. Definitely give tk max a go too.

Hassled · 09/09/2017 16:44

It's over budget (although it fits the spec) but I've been keeping my eye on this bag for weeks now trying to justify why I need a new bag.

PlaymobilPirate · 09/09/2017 16:48

Hassled - that is indeed beautiful. NOT sure the shoulder straps would be sturdy enough??

I popped in to TKMaxx today and picked up a lovely Gigi bag which would definitely fit your criteria. Will see if I can find a link.

KnockMeDown · 11/09/2017 15:08

Just looked and it's not on the website. It's definitely worth a visit to a store, as they had a big selection there today.

If you add this bag to your basket but don't check out they should send you a 15% off code.
