It's near on perfect for what I'm looking for, but I've had a look in person (at the navy) and the quality isn't great so I'm happy to pay a bit more. Colour wise I'm looking for something for Autumn/winter, but preferably not black.

Blue Bag

Thanks for any help you can offer!

I found a Michael Kors one that's similar, but I won't buy MK. The bits I specifically like about the one I linked to are:-

Size
Fold over top
Front zips
Single shoulder strap

It's a bit like the Loewe Puzzle bag re the top, but I have nowhere near that budget!

It looks a lot like the Coach bandit hobo but they seem to have stopped making it... You might be able to pick one up on eBay or at an outlet (they have one at Bicester if that's possible for you?)

Thanks Freias.

I like this one too. I need to measure against this other one I linked to as it's the perfect size.

Hi @Pupsiecola

I'm on the hunt for a new A/W bag. Thinking oxblood or navy.

I don't think it's quite what you are after, but this caught my eye www.russellandbromley.co.uk/all-handbags/rochelle/invt/713638

Pupsiecola · 15/09/2018 22:22

Thanks Rosie. It's not quite right for me but thanks. I like the Braun Buffel one above but it's not available in the UK. Also I don't want it to be too tall because I don't like a bag to be too roomy if that makes sense.

Radley, bit more simple www.radley.co.uk/handbags/hobo-bags/

They normally do these at outlets

It also comes in praline.

Maybe you can find preloved on eBay if you're fine with preowned.

Pupsiecola · 15/09/2018 23:51

Thanks guys. Fstar I should have said that I can't bring myself to buy a Radley. That and MK are the only two I'd not buy though.

Mena I've not heard of that brand before. I shall take a closer look. Thanks.

It used to be the diffusion brand of Marc Jacobs. They have since fused so now everything is Marc Jacobs. The Marc by Marc Jacobs bags have really nice leather.

I absolutely love that brain but it's too big. (Might get it anyway though!).

Why won't you buy Michael Kors if you like it?

Harebellmeadow · 16/09/2018 10:34

Look at the Berlin brand Liebeskind. They have lots of similar styles and also do a few chic blue styles.

Also 15% off at the moment.

I love the bags from this Etsy shop, but I’ve never bought one as they are mostly brown/tan, which doesn’t fit that well with what I wear.

Fresta that's a good question and I can see why you'd ask! I just see them everywhere. I don't like a lot of in your face labels/logos etc. They're just a bit much for me.

Pupsiecola · 16/09/2018 13:32

Thanks Hare, some nice bags there and I bet they're great quality.

Mybrain I've emailed the owner of the Etsy shop.

I think the issue is the dimensions. Lots of bags I've seen are too tall. I don't like having to rummage and I'm a minimalist, so I wnat to be able to just easily grab the few things I'm carrying. Also, I want them top to be roomy so that you can easily fish stuff out whilst it's on your shoulder. A lot of the ones I've found have more rigid/tight tops.

I keep coming back to the Braun Buffel but I'm not sure if they ship overseas. I've messaged them.
