Recommend me an indestructible cross body bag...

[Multicolouredfish]

Any ideas on the most durable crossbody bag that I can buy and forget about? I'd like it to last me at least 10 years of daily use or more before looking wrecked.....Big enough to fit wallet, keys, phone, paperback and a few assorted bits and bobs.
Am hoping this isn't a pipe dream! Thanks

My yellow tote has no writing.

Crumpler make camera bags, but you wouldn't know to look at most of them and they last seemingly forever.

If nylon appeals the longchamp range is good. I've had years out of mine and it now needs replacing.

@100Years is it more on the bright side, or more mustard?

Leaning towards Coleman's. The pic on the website is a good indication of colour

Perfect! Thank you!

Go with the radley

Mine looks as good as new despite few years old

Love the pictures one but SO small!!

You're asking too much of one bag.

Spot on Mulberry. Perhaps there's a scientific term for that like The Human-Handbag Insufficiency or The Late for Date Mass-try-on.

i was going to suggest the antony mulberry too. excellent size, quality/not screaming designer, timeless and versatile.

Haha One can never ask too much of anything

I’ve had the mulberry Anthony for about 12 years, just looks better with age, if I think about it on a cost per wear basis it’s one of the best things I’ve ever bought

It can be worth a visit to one of the mulberry outlets or even giving the one in Bicester a call, if they have any in stock they’ll post them out to you which I’ve done in the past, they’re lovely. Purseforum oftrn has lists of what they have in store

My kipling bag has lasted years i have 2, my crossbody bag is 9 years old not a break in it and you can bung it in the washing machine

I bought a very durable, hardy, leather cross body bag from TK Maxx for £24. It’s a brand called Matt & Nat. Not heard of it before but love the bag. Will try to upload a photo if I can.

Another one here loving those Elvis and Kresse bags, never heard of them either, think I’ll be getting one this year!

Here’s the Matt & Nat bag I was talking about.

I used to like Matt & Nat, but have gone off it as a company. Have to agree a lot with this article I read about them recently mygreencloset.com/2017/no-longer-buy-matt-nat/

If their transparency doesn't improve I don't see myself going back to it anytime soon.

Coach scout hobo is lovely and a total bargain in the sale.

What did you end up going for @Multicolouredfish ? :)

My Radley Grosvenor is indestructible (comes in 3 sizes I have the large one). Beautiful leather and very hard wearing. Had the latest one on the go over a year of daily use and it's still immaculate which is a bit of a swine as I haven't needed to do any handbag shopping nor will I for the foreseeable. Worst bagever for quality was an Ospray messenger/saddlebags similar to the Grosvenor and the quality was abysmal. Strap disintegrated within months and the bag looked knackered and yuck way to soon.

I went for an Elvis n Kresse post bag in the end with an additional cross body strap. (I name changed last week before lots more people posted on my thread). It was a close call though, as there were so many fab suggestions. Thanks guys!
HolgerDanske, thanks for pointing that out about the review. I can see how mumsnet exposure would be tempting to harness.
Anyway, bag looks great, but it's only had a week of use. I can report back in 10 years on if it's been as indestructible as I'm hoping it may be....

@barefoofdoctor sorry to hear about the Ospray :( I've heard other stories similar, but I think i've heard enough now to not want to go near them no matter how tempting their current sales might be. Thanks for the input!

@Pandabear2018 so happy you settled on something. I know I can definitely suffer from "too much choice syndrome". Haha, set a reminder in :D Which colour was it? Any pictures you can grace us with? I didn't know they did straps for the post bag as well.
