Can anyone recommend a good across body bag

My favourite has finally given up after 4 years decent wear.
Can anyone recommend a new one?
Not too big but big enough to carry the essentials.
I've looked at killing but there's so much choice I have no idea where to start Confused

@BenWillbondsPants. Glad you like it, it looked nice in the pics, I’m still tempted by the Sophia because I wear a lot of white and navy which looks good with tan and normally lug around a big tote in the summer, hopefully there’s a discount code floating around.

I also really like this one @LuxuryWoman2018

I also wear a lot of white/cream and navy and love my suede fringed hobo bag but I'd also like something with a little structure (but not too formal). Do you have a link for the Sophia bag?

BenWillbondsPants · 25/06/2019 19:56

I like it in tan I mean, not the black.

I'm very happy with my Art Sac bag. They are sort of like Kipling, well made but not so pricey.
I have one of these but in a different colour

It’s nice but a bit bigger than Sophia which looks neat, same place I got my pink bag www.myexquisiteshop.com/products/vera-pele-small-bag-ps190

I keep checking Pinterest for bag storage ideas 😀.

@LuxuryWoman2018, I really like those bags. you've linked to They look near identical to the Aurora London ones, but nearly a third of the price. I'd love to compare them side by side.

@Peitho yes they do look very similar, I guess you pay for a brand name, mine is good quality, just no brand stamp or dustbag. I have a fairly similar MK bag, I guess it’s a fairly classic style.

I have a Vera people bag and it's fabulous. Real leather - I get lots of people asking me where it's from.

Ellapaella · 26/06/2019 19:02

Vera Pelle even

Chanellta · 26/06/2019 19:20

Has the OP chosen a bag yet? Ive ordered a travel bag from Eastpak and that Sophia bag in the dark tan. I saw a nice looking bag in M & S that I thought would be good for on the plane but it was a bit plasticky.

bec3105 · 26/06/2019 19:22

I love my Mui Tia bag great quality and well made will be getting more!

cavalier · 26/06/2019 21:28

Kipling for me too .. I get new ones on eBay
Hard wearing and organise me .. loads of sizes etc

Chanellta · 27/06/2019 18:51

Thanks to whoever recommended the Sophia, it came today and it's lovely, as a previous poster said fabulous quality. Hope my travel bag comes quickly too as I'm off on holiday next week.

Grumpyoldblonde · 27/06/2019 21:19

That’s good to know as I’ve got one coming!

LuxuryWoman2018 · 28/06/2019 11:36

Mine arrived to Chanellt, lovely isn't it?

Tarifasky · 28/06/2019 13:18

That really is a lovely bag, similar to ones I've bought in Spain, just had a look on the website and like their Windsor bag too, nice in dark taupe.

trader21c · 28/06/2019 17:37

Benwillbonds does the gray Mint Velvet bag have a zip across the top? Thanks :)

BenWillbondsPants · 28/06/2019 19:08

@trader21c yes it does thankfully, I'd probably have sent it back otherwise to be honest. Will stick a photo on here shortly if that helps. Smile

trader21c · 28/06/2019 19:17

Ohh yes please thanks and glad you like it!

BenWillbondsPants · 03/07/2019 21:29

@trader21c I'm so sorry, I completely forgot I said I'd put some photos of the MV bag on here - too many things in my head! Anyway, a bit late but here you go. It's a lovely soft bag. Smile
