Hello, I'm a regular but have name changed as I realise this is a bit of a privileged problem to have. I have a special birthday coming up (30 in October) and I would really love a very nice handbag as I've never had one before, I exclusively shop on ASOS and mango
/zara etc.
Anyway I'm looking for advice on what the best bang for buck in the under 300 range would be? I think i would like something in black as I want it to go with everything, a little bit of a 'statement' big enough for phone, wallet, waterbottle and a book-not tiny but not big enough to fit the kitchen sink!
I'm generally a boots and leather jacket, worn jeans kinda person, I'm happy to wait for sales etc and have seen there are a few about and I'm also happy to purchase on ebay but a bit afraid of being had with a fake!
So far I like the look of; Kate spade, vivienne Westwood, see by chloe (but possibly only tiny bags in budget in the sale). I really like coach too but I feel that they're a bit dull? Im not really a fan of Michael Kors but that's the only brand I'm really ruling out!
So, wise mumsnetters can you help me a) advise if there are other brands I should look to b) who to steer clear of in terms of quality or anything else or C) post any nice bags you've seen
P. S first in with use a plastic bag and give the rest to charity is getting reported :p
