Don't let me down guys, I know £100 is a fab budget but for personal reasons I need this purse to be the most amazing quality that will last for years and years and remind me of my mum everytime I use it.

It must be leather, and be a true classic peice.

Colour choices, please!

What are those ones called with the little doggy on the tag? Someone will know. Anyway, they come in lots of nice colours. They have them in John Lewis but I don't think they're THAT expensive.

LittleLupin · 12/07/2007 21:38

Radley.

FoeGlassSlipper · 12/07/2007 21:39

BTW no Radley - pure naffness IMHO

I think brown/black or poss turquise or raspberry pink. THINK CLASSIC AND CLASSY

Aspinal are good there. Lovely colours.

Pickett have some really good ones, but you might need to top up the budget. This one is cute.

moopymoo · 12/07/2007 22:36

this is lovely but a scary price.

GrimoireThief · 12/07/2007 22:37

Those Aspinal ones are lovely. I like the contrasting suede linings.

chocolatequeen · 12/07/2007 22:37

Furla has beautiful leather things, should get something lovely for that sort of money!

Lucky you!

I have a beautiful purse bought by my grandmother as a 21st present and it still looks spanky new.

I bought a beautiful Ted Baker purse this week, it was £22 reduced from £40 but I was going to buy it when it was £40. It is leather and just perfect. And I had change to buy a nice top.

They had a lovely selection. I looked for weeks BTW and the Ted Baker one was the best of a bad bunch.

John Lewis had a good selection. I thought the Radley ones were a bit tacky.

Pollyanna · 12/07/2007 22:45

I have an Orla Kiely one - it is very nice, but not sure it is classic.
