£300 to spend on a handbag

Hi, I have £300 to spend a new bag. What brands are good quality/stylish at that price range? Have a few coach handbags so don't want to buy another one.

My whole wardrobe doesn't come to this Grin

Kate Spade in their sale? Usually lots of choice & leather

LuxuryWoman2018 · 16/06/2019 15:37

I was going to say Kate Spade, I’m desperately trying to keep off the site with the sale on. Osprey are also nice.

There are some very nice bags by Cambridge Satchels now. Like this one.

Lots of colours too.

Start with what style you want, cross body, shoulder, how smart, how big etc.

Thanks everyone. Ok so more info. Crossbody or tote neutral colour, need something quite smart for work.

Look at Village England. Some are more, some less expensive than budget.

Alsohuman · 16/06/2019 19:03

Still Cambridge Satchels!

Aspinall sale is on.

OrdinarySnowflake · 16/06/2019 19:44

I was going to suggest Aspinal as well! They have some lovely bags.

I love Kate Spade, mine have all lasted really well.

BubblesBuddy · 16/06/2019 20:44

Russell and Bromley have great bags in this price range. Excellent quality.

2strands · 16/06/2019 20:52

There's some lovey prada ones for the £250 mark

TheFlis12345 · 16/06/2019 23:04

Coach have a good sale on at the moment, lots of lovely bags well within that budget.

Madewell?

Happychappy33 · 17/06/2019 22:21

APC crossbody bags are lovely, and they are on sale on the Monnier Freres website at the mo in your budget

procrastinatingtoday · 17/06/2019 22:41

Would you consider pre-loved one?

If not, marc Jacobs or deMellier?

slipperyeel · 18/06/2019 14:48

Here's an extra 20% off Kate Spade, to be used by Friday 21st June KSMSE20

Im all for the coach at the moment - would say within your budget that's the best brand.

Thanks I'm starting to think I should go for coach again or kate spade. Read reviews saying coach is better quality tho.

I went into Kate Spade recently and Michael kors and Coach with a smaller budget and by far Coach was much better quality especially if you happen to have a coach outlet near by!
