Cross body bag with pockets

25 replies

snoooop · 10/03/2018 16:58

Looking for something that will last, pockets are a plus, and big enough to keep glasses case, phones, small water bottle, book etc but not so big as to cause posture problems as I have to wear it for up to 12 hours a day for work.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

kipling does bags with good pockets, have you looked at them?

Ilovelearning · 10/03/2018 21:31

I've just bought myself a bag with lots of storage pockets from Mia Tui miatui.com/collections/grab-and-go-bags.

One of those bags has my name! Shock

I'll have a look at Kipling, thanks. It seems impossible to find something that is the right size, has different compartments, and is presentable enough for work. I've been using a Seasalt one that I didn't intend to use for work but had it lying around, but it was a mustardy colour and the back is getting stained greeny-blue, I'm assuming from rubbing on my jeans.

This would be perfect if it was just a teensy bit bigger. I like that it has separate compartments and love the style. Just wish it was bigger!

Know of anything similar?

Gah sorry, there were paragraphs on the app. There's 3 links all squished together there

snoooop · 11/03/2018 18:15

The Liebeskind might be a winner! It's the separate compartments that does it for me, rather than having to rifle through one big pouch for something at the bottom.

I agree re Kipling. I have body pain problems and adore how light mine is, I can’t even feel I’m wearing it! Plus it has tons of pockets for organising my stuff.

I bought this Kipling one - it's fab! Lots of pickets &comes in a few different colours😊

IWouldLikeToKnow · 11/03/2018 19:26

I have a teal coloured one from Oliver Bonas and it's fabulous, ticks all your boxes. I'll see if I can find a link

Oops sorry posted too soon, here's a photo off the website

White stuff often do cross body bags which are nice

CAAKE · 11/03/2018 21:43

I love my Radley bag. It fits all those things you noted -

Wow so many good options!

I think I might get a few, as I have to wear it 6 days a week so will prob wear through them quite quickly. Maybe a Kipling one for normal days and then a nicer one when we're doing something special?

Did you find something in the end op?

snoooop · 20/03/2018 13:59

I did, more than I was planning! Grin I got the Liebeskind one and a Kipling Silen for general days, an Oliver Bonas one for when I have to go somewhere nicer and also another one that looked intriguing but I've never heard of the brand before and I ordered from a website I haven't used so we'll see if it even turns up... it's something called a Derek Alexander convertible crossbody? Hmm Well it looked interesting anyway!

Thanks all for your suggestions, hopefully I won't have to buy a work bag for the next couple of years!

Excellent haul there 😉

Gapster23 · 25/03/2018 07:13

Did the Derek Alexander one turn up? I'm having a similar crossbody bag dilemma!
