I’ve fallen in love with a bag, can you help me find a similar one?

[IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece]

I have done nothing to deserve spending £575 on a bag unfortunately! I absolutely love it and wondered if anyone has seen one similar (especially the colour) for under £100

Or if anyone thinks I deserve to spend it on myself, that’s also a welcome comment

Of course you should buy it OP. Their bags are classics and that's a gorgeous colour which will look even better in the winter and brighten up the cold dark days. If you will get lots of use out of it, definitely get it.

Following with interest, as I just bought the smaller version but had to send it back as the strap was too short to wear cross-body

Bigger version is gorgeous and has a longer strap, but just too big for me.

smiling was it as beautiful as I think it is?!

I’ve NEVER bought an expensive bag like this but I can’t stop looking st it! I have an Aspinal purse and card holder and the quality is beautiful so I imagine the bag is also!

It was absolutely beautiful. I almost couldn’t stop touching it.

Buy the bag. ;) you deserve it.

Noooo! You’re supposed to help me find a similar one, not talk me into this

You know what the wooden house signs say... life is short, drink the wine, buy the shoes... in your case but the bag 😉

*buy not but

Life is short, buy the bag. You absolutely deserve it!

I can't talk you out of that - it's lovely! If you have the means (or the means to keep on top of your credit card payments) I would go for it. It's timeless and will last :-)

Buy the bag. Think how often you’ll use it, and calculate a cost per use. It will be pennies. You deserve it.

Cheaper (but not as nice):

The Cambridge Satchel Company will do you something lovely at a snip of that price :)

(By probably not quite that lovely)

I think coach has some in a teal colour. Still expensive, but not as expensive.

*but

Probably closer, but it doesn’t come in navy. The oxblood looks nice though:

Slightly cheaper at £370, this one is a similar colour but more boho style, if that’s any good to you? (I’m kicking myself for missing out on half price Chloe and See by Chloe bags in the summer sale so have been stalking the new styles )

Buy it.

You won't regret it, you'll still have it in 20 years. That would buy you perhaps 10 cheaper bags that won't last 5 months.

It's a no brainer .

Thank you

Zatchels will never have a penny of my money after the shambles of the service I received last year!! (Nice bag though )

I like, even love the others linked but none quite like I love the Aspinal one!

I think I’ll give it a month and then see how much I still love it then maybe...just maybe...I’ll buy it

Bad influences, the lot of you

I really must stop looking at it online

Ah, you’ll buy it before too long

dusts off crystal ball

If, in a month, I Do want to buy it, would you get it monogrammed or does that make it not as nice

I don’t personally like monogrammed bags - I think it looks quite old-fashioned and also makes it difficult to sell on (not that you would want to with that bag ). But it’s a matter of personal preference.

If you’re ordering online, worth noting that you can’t return monogrammed items so if you have even the slightest doubt about the bag then don’t get it done.

Thank you!

I won’t get it inline, also I know with Aspinal that you can go back and have it monogrammed later if need be! I’m a bit of a goon and absolutely love going to. A store to make a big purchase and skip down the road with the bag
