Another "what do you think of this bag?" Thread!

Longchamp

I'm after a new bag, want something I can wear cross body but also has a handle so I can grab it without having to put the strap over my shoulder. Want to be able to fit in purse, phone, kindle and few other bits, so not a tiny bag, but don't want yet another large tote size, with a body strap.

Not sure if this longchamp one is too casual and looks a bit dated? But don't want to look like I've got my work bag with me...

This one is under £500, but can push up to more like £1k.

Any of you far more stylish ladies able to help?!

I like it, but I prefer the tan colour more.

Thanks, I think you are right about the tan, would probably go with more.

Despite the fact that the ‘rim’ round the bottom of it will prove a practice feature while sifting through your bag, keeping it upright, I don’t like the look of it. It makes the bag look a little bit like a flower pot and would possibly be annoying when worn cross-body.

*practical

hmm, I fear you are right Pictish - annoying as there's not much like that about -even though I see woman walking around with cross body/long straped bags all the time now.

Has anyone seen anything else that would fit the bill? I think the small amberley works, but the top handle is only available on the ones with pattern, not the plain leather ones (which I'd prefer).

I really don't want to go over a grand, but have a selection of 'not quite right' bags already.

I really like that bag it look practical but stylish really like it in the baby blue

Too small. Would be bulging with all your stuff.

Do you like this?

Think my suggestion is too small.

The Mulberry bag is lovely but I’m not sure a kindle will fit inside. (Also my must have when looking for a bag)

Coach prairie satchel might be an option?

ooh I like the Anya Hindmarsh bag - Not sure if it would be too small, might need to find a day I can get into London without children and turn up with my Kindle/purse/phone/keys and do a test... (bet they love people doing that!!)

Sorry for this being a bit of a challenge, I want something smaller - I have lots of big bags and I do end up filling them with stuff I don't need or use, but then have to juggle them when I'm out with the kids. I do have a couple of cross body bags already, which are more useful for family days, but the lack of top handle annoys me, and when I don't have them on my shoulder, end up dragging on the floor, and they are all in bright colours/patterns that limit what they look good with when worn without a plain coat between them and my outfit. And I want something that doesn't look scruffy or overly like a work bag.

Typing the above has made me realise I'm a difficult cow. Sorry!

Not difficult. Difficult is having no idea what you want.

I found a Anya Hindmarch bad I like and fitted perfectly. I ended up with 3! I love them. They get better and better.
