Perfect bag

[LIVIA999]

Trying to find a holiday bag, I have lots of nice ones for the winter but I want something more cheerful for summer.
So not black. I don't like multi coloured stuff or straw bags that seem to be in fashion this year.
Large enough to carry a family of fives possessions but equally nice enough that I can use for meals out.
Ideally looking for something for something with pockets ( I hate hunting for stuff)
I've looked everywhere but not found anything I like.

What's your budget OP?

If you have one reasonably close, TKMaxx handbag dept is always worth trawling. I have a red bag, with three compartments, divided by two zippered sections, with secure sections zipped in the the outside walls. Mine is cotton, Italian make, with double leather handles just long enough to fit over shoulder and into armpit. It is so useful in size and shape that I'm not throwing it, albeit it's gone a bit shapeless if not filled. It was in clearance, for about £20.

Oh thanks @XingMing that Sounds great!
@MuddyElephant don't really want to spend more than £50- unless I fall in love!

The make is something like Laurence Biasi, from memory, without checking. But it's several years past season @LIVIA 999.

I don’t think there is such a thing! The bags I take out for the day for my family of 5, are very different to the bags I’d use for a meal out. Get two separate bags .

@Holidayshopping I know!!!
Every bag I buy will be the perfect bag....
