Apparently the handbag I need doesn't exist, but...

... if it does, I'm sure you lovely MN folk will help me find it!

I'm a terrible hoarder when it comes to the things I HAVE to have in my handbag at all times, which means I'm always buying a bag that looks lovely but that drives me insane within weeks of owning it because it's too small or I can't close it properly because of everything I've rammed into it.

On top of that, I hate it when the handles of my bag slide off my shoulder, especially in winter on top of coats, and and I'm also forever losing things down the side of the car seat, or in the boot, or on the train so can't have a bag that's open all the time. I also like slouchy, comfortable leather/faux leather rather than boxy, hard material or fabric bags.

So, really, I need a BIG (no smaller than 40cm W x 50cmH) handbag that has a long cross body strap that I can attach, but that also has a top opening I can zip shut. And nice and soft so it's not bulky.

Any ideas? I've done a couple of days looking, but everything I can find always seems to be missing one of the key elements...

Every handbag thread I say Mia Tui. I’m sure people must think I work for them.

Some of their larger bags at slouchy rather than hard.

I honestly have about a dozen of them.
They are so useful with all the pockets and very affordable.
If you find a style you like then google for ‘name’ bundle deal and you can often get a bargain.
