Black Friday help Handbag gift for £100 ish

20 replies

ivebeenwaitinginthedarkness · 22/11/2018 16:18

Please send shopping help.. I want to get my sister a handbag for Christmas. I think she would like a leather one similar to this as can be worn across body ( see pic)

I'm sure this style is prob a copy of a designer one, but I don't have a designer budget or any clue about designer bags . (I found this pic on eBay but it's not leather. )

Any suggestions? I don't have a massive budget around 100 but hoping Black Friday can help me ?

It seems like your sister is after a similar sort of bag to me... have you looked at White stuff? The bailey hobo bag is pretty close; though I wasn’t impressed with the quality of the long strap...might be worth a look. Fat face also have some similar.

@Interviewee1001 oh yes I like the style of the white stuff one, that's the type of thing. Do you think the strap would break then?

Not so keen on the Face Face ones.

I had a look on Radley but too formal. My sister is pretty casual.

I would like a bag brand, rather than one from a clothes store but that might not be possible for my budget ?!

I didn’t think the strap would break, it just seemed a bit narrow and lower quality than the short straps on the bag - I thought it looked odd not to be the same. It might depend on the colour too, I was looking at the green. Worth looking at in the flesh if you’ve got a white stuff near you.

This?

GingerLemonTea · 22/11/2018 19:03

Actually I don’t think the strap is long enough on the one I linked.

Have a look in Tk Max, they often have designer bags in for cheaper than aberage

I was thinking of this coach bag but it's still £200

Would she be happy to contribute in order to get a better bag?

ivebeenwaitinginthedarkness · 23/11/2018 12:31

I think the coach one is too officey.

I can spend a bit more for the right bag.

This?

Have you looked at Fossil?

ivebeenwaitinginthedarkness · 23/11/2018 15:04

@Cheesymonster yes I loved the fossil ones if for me, especially this that's come in tan too www.fossil.com/uk/en/products/maya-satchel-sku-zb7567p.html

But basically my sister is complaining saying her current bag is too small, and I bought that one many years ago. So I have to get a bigger certain size

Are you near any designer outlets ? I recently got my very very casual sister a Radley bag for her birthday to replace her very old 'next' across the shoulder bag, it was only £42 reduced from £159 and when I got home that day it was still on the main website for the full price! She loved it because it was Radley, she said she wouldn't shop there herself because she would feel guilty spending that sort of money but loved it because it felt like a treat.
This is lovely - www.radley.co.uk/rose-castle-large-zip-top-multiway-bag-aw18-e556bc/ - Great price today too!

I received a white stuff bailey hobo, the tan today. And I don't like it. Maybe I should of ordered the other tan-ish looking chestnut version. It's just a bit naffy, looks like pleather. @Interviewee1001 I get what you mean on the straps.

I'm going to try a Fossil bag as think will be better quality for about £150. Hope the size will be ok. If you sign up for their newsletters you can get even more off !

Interviewee1001 · 25/11/2018 19:44

Which Fossil were you thinking of? I had a quick look and I couldn’t see one that fitted my ‘slouchy’ brief - it was only a quick look tbf...

QuickChatChange · 25/11/2018 20:08

I bought this from Calvin Klein and I am over the moon with it! It's beautiful, really well made and exactly what I wanted! It's £170, but they have 20% off at the moment

@fringegrin45 oh yes I like the CK one, it's borderline smart and my sister is very casual. But might be a purchase for me !

The radley is a bit too small for my vague brief

I've ordered this fossil to look at https://www.fossil.com/uk/en/products/maya-satchel-sku-zb7566p.html

But did like this one too, but it's more square
