The perfect cross body bag...

[countrygirl171]

I'm looking for a cross body bag. I don't mind how big it is, as long as I can fit the basics like phone, keys, cash etc. I don't really have a budget but it's something to use most days and I have two small children. Im open to big companies or smaller, independent ones! Thank you.

A medium size Radley “pockets” bag would be my vote. Nice size (enough room for all the basics including a large purse), good quality leather, nice choice of colours.

Around £125 full price but also seems like you can usually get at least one colour reduced (the mink colour one is currently £75) or if you are near a Radley outlet store they usually have a good selection of colours at around the £60 - £80 mark.

Thank you for all of the suggestions...I'm going to have a good look through them all.

I'm quite taken by the Elvis & Kresse bag - I was just wondering if the lettering on the hose pipe is quite noticeable? And does the bag feel rough or smooth?

Thank you for all your help!

I have an Elvis and Kresse tote bag

There's lettering on one side and plain on the other - I often where it with the lettering facing out which I don't think I would!

It has a texture, but isn't rough

I was surprised how light weight it was, which was a bonus

Their customer service is fab and with it being such a robust material I don't worry about it getting wet or damaged

I love Monsoon’s crossbody bags. Decent quality for the price and often look better than comparable designer bags.

I like these! The design and quality are good and some designed are less than £30 in the sale

I have a fossil soft leather crossbody bag, is ideal as open pocket at the back and two zipped sections. Can squeeze a lot in because of structure

Only cost £1 as found in charity shop

I've had a Radley crossbody bag for at least 10 years and love it.

Elvis & Kresse have the most amazing bags - They're built to last and they repair for life. Seriously amazing brand, all their materials are reclaimed.

Their Tooley tote is a great size for mums, very practical bag!
