Can someone find me this bag, please?

[BertrandRussell]

Small, dead plain, no fancy twiddly bits, cross body, soft leather, plain black navy or brown, about 15cmX12cm. Preferably with a zip top and an internal pocket of some sort. It’s to replace my perfect little bag that came from TKMaxx a million years ago and which I have to accept is worn out. Thank you!!

Are you sure you mean 15cm x 12cm ... that is VERY small?!

Sorry- not sure. 50 quid maybe?

Have I got the measurements wrong? It’s about the side of a Kindle. It’s just for phone and cards and a bit of cash.

I’ve got one of these Vera Pelle bags. They come in lots of colours including black/blue etc. Really useful little bag - leather isn’t mega soft but smooth, if you see what I mean. Mine’s in a Tiffany blue colour and gets used a lot

This is a wee bit bigger and a wee bit pricier (and not quite available yet) but I think it's beautiful...

That looks good, Suki. Trouble is I will now spend the next hour trying to decide what colour. Because even though I said black, blue or brown- that green is lovely. and so is the red. And.......

I don't know what your budget is but I take my Radley everywhere. I got it from ebay but they have a sale on at the moment

Possibly above your budget unless you like the rose gold but I bought one of these for my mum and she loves it.

Ha ha great minds Big!!!

Yes, I got a bit transfixed by the colour range too, Bertrand. I rather fancy one of the two-tone versions next. Love some of the bags coming up on this thread. Am trying (unsuccesfully) to convince myself that I really don’t need the Seasalt in red.

Loads of ideas from this recent thread

Not sure if they stick them anymore but you can find them in other places!

I am so pleased that bag’s a Radley- I love it- but I have an irrational dislike of the Radley logo so i’m Not being tempted to spend more than I intended.....

A little bit bigger than your measurements but I've got a black one which I use when I need a fuss-free smallish crossbody and it's fab. It's got a couple of pockets inside (zipped and a slip one for a phone or whatever) and a slip pocket on the back so you can organise your stuff and the brass zip/hardware makes it look a bit more expensive than it is.

They often do 20% off if you've got a Sparks card, too.

Search the Debenhams sales atm - amazing range with massive reductions. Most are leather.

This one is nice in Navy - not leather though, if that's a dealbreaker?

What about this? Lovely bags Gigi, I have a couple.

Ha! I was completely with you on Radley @BertrandRussell. Too twee. However I got over it as I was just so pleased with size and colour of my bag. Also, buying it off eBay, they weren’t getting any of my money.
