Recommend a leather shoulder bag that isn't £££

I'm looking for a medium sized shoulder bag, made of black leather or a good fake, I quite like tote style. I don't have £££ to spend. Must be comfy to wear on my shoulder though.

Anyone seen anything nice? I don't like lots of chains and gold dangly bits, nice and simple preferably.

Check out Mia Tui bags. Fake and reasonable price. The Facebook page often has deals. Bags sold on the website.

Thanks. I've had a look, but they're not really what I'm looking for.

Debenhams have some great ones reduced OP

If you are not set on real leather, H&M often have some lovely simple totes.
It wasn't black, but last year I got a fab burgundy and pale pink reversible tote from everything5pounds.com When it arrived it was a Primark one. It always get loads of compliments!

I like Asos too- or TK Maxx as they sometimes have a tote with detachable shoulder bag or clutch inside

Worth having a look at shops like Cos or & Other Stories and also the John Lewis own brand stuff/Kin bags if you are looking for simple.

What's your budget approximately?

I have a couple of quality leather Clarks bags.

TkMaxx always have a good range in if you have one near

Marks and Spencer

I just got a lovely one from Concka (half price at Debenhams).

Batsypatsy · 15/03/2019 21:46

Budget as low as possible Grin

I've seen a nice one on ASOS. I'll keep looking though.

Have a look on eBay. I recently got a lovely Fossil bag on there for cheap. It's as good as new and great value. You can get some great bargains on eBay.

Batsypatsy · 16/03/2019 12:48

I've ordered one from asos. I did look on eBay actually but couldn't find one I liked.

Ok, the ASOS bag arrived yesterday and I don't like it so will be returning it.

I'm now unsure what sort of bag I want Confused I need something I can comfortably carry on my shoulder, not fiddly to get into (the ASOS one had a stiff drawstring inside, too fiddly), but still secured somehow, i.e zip or press stud, not too small, with internal pockets, but not heavy and massive, no gold coloured trimmings but plain and simple, black, I'd like it to feel soft and pleasant.

What do I want? Confused

I have a leather shoulder bag with a stud fastening from Fatface. Nice quality leather and has lasted well - I use it all the time. Not fancy but does exactly what it’s supposed to!

Batsypatsy · 19/03/2019 15:49

Sounds nice .. do you have a link or photo?

OP posts:
VixenAbroad · 20/03/2019 08:26

I bought it a year or so ago so it’s not in stock but try fatface.co.uk, they always have bags listed.

VixenAbroad · 20/03/2019 08:30

Sorry, website is www.fatface.com

MoreProseccoNow · 20/03/2019 08:36

I have the same requirements as you, OP & get Paul Costello bags from TK Maxx. His website also has a sake section which is very reasonably priced.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 20/03/2019 14:25

I have this in a couple of colours, I prefer minimal silver hardware, I also have their bag called Marina www.myexquisiteshop.com/collections/womens-bags/products/olivia-fine-italian-leather-shoulder-tote

I get lots of bags from TK Max too. M&S have had some quite nice bags lately.

beela · 20/03/2019 19:06

I bought one from fat face yesterday. It's lovely but I think I might have to return it as the strap is too long Sad

I don’t know what you mean by £££ -I think this is expensive but I have it in brown and I love it. here
