£200-300 handbag - what would you buy?

Just that, really!

If you had £200-300 to spend, where would you look? I’ve found very few brands sell at this price range, so maybe I don’t know what I’m doing!

I would like real leather, in tan or grey, zip enclosure, ample room to go over my shoulder, a bit of tasteful hardware in gold, plenty of pockets or nooks and crannies for storing stuff. Nothing patterned or too “bling” or emblazoned with logos.

From what I’ve seen so far, I like Lauren Ralph Lauren and Modalu, but I’m sure there’s more!

This is the most money I’ve ever saved up for a handbag, but my current one (£100 from M&S a couple of years ago) is looking very tatty now. I only ever have one handbag at a time, so I would like a slightly better one than I’ve bought in the past.

Guidance much appreciated!

Agree with Coach, Marc Jacobs and Kate spade being the top runners in this price range. Lauren and LKBennett also similar in terms of design and quality.

Furla and Fossil - not even on the same page as the other brands, wouldn't touch them.

Mini Berry, De Mellier are up and coming, and the new one I'll add is Sienna Jones - amazing quality and stunning colours.

My next bag will be this one:

There's a brand called Polene I really like. Google Polene handbags. I think they're going to be the "next" mansur Gavriel.

Go to an outlet place like gunwharf / Bicester etc. Loads of bag shops and discounts
