If I was buying you a present which bag would you prefer?
Friend likes colour, only uses cross body bags and doesn't carry massive amounts of crap about like I do

It's annoying that I can only see the dimensions on one of them so it's harder to compare

Both nice but if she likes colour go for the first

I also like cross body but find it odd/messy when they also have short straps

IfIShouldFallFromGraceWithGod · 16/10/2019 08:22

It was the short straps and the slightly larger size that I liked but I never wear cross body bags
I think I'll go for the colour, thanks

The style of the first one but I really dislike the colour - mainly because it would go with nothing in my wardrobe so wouldn’t get used.

MsChatterbox · 16/10/2019 08:49

Style of first one but can you find a better colour? Maybe like a burgundy?

MsChatterbox · 16/10/2019 08:54

Can't tell if the linked worked but it's this one.

I like that one MsChatterbox and a nice reduction in price

If you call them, I'm sure they'll be able to give you dimensions.
If she really likes crossbody bags, I'd go for the first. The other two look big.

Steviestamborine · 16/10/2019 18:14

The first one is better. Does it have to be from there? I bought a couple of bags from a company recommended here called my exquisite and they have loads of crossbody bags.

I just had a look at whitestuff and have taken a bit of a shine to a suede bucket bag I really don’t need though!

1st one or the one another poster suggested.
I only wear cross-body bags and wouldn't use 2. Looks clumpy and hate the extra straps.

MrsMaiselsMuff · 16/10/2019 18:29

Everyone keeps spamming that my exquisite site. They're cheap bags that are available cheaper on Amazon (and my local charity shop seems to have a constant stream of them!).

I've seen the first one in real life and it is a lovely quality. Lots of colours so you can pick which your friend would prefer. It is on the larger side if your friend carries as little as possible, but fine for an average handbag.

I like the crossbody bags by stripey giraffe. You can get different straps too. They are a bit smaller than the ones you have pictured but I can fit all of the necessary things in them. Also I don't like a heavy crossbody bag.

I think if she likes colour then both colours are a bit meh to be honest.

Oliver Bonas often have great cross bodies. This one is lovely and not too big
