I want a leopard cross body like this but not £500

I love this:

hillandfriends.com/collections/leopard/products/happy-tweency-natural-leopard-printed-haircalf

The size is perfect and the chain strap.

But I can't spend that money. Any ideas on where to find similar but cheaper?
My searches are not coming up with much.

Um...are the 80s back! Do you need a big perm to go with that 😃

Trut · 02/10/2020 13:56

Sorry op, I’m of no help. Can’t believe it costs so much 🤣

That's lovely @PastramiNoRye and a great price!

PastramiNoRye · 02/10/2020 14:10

I love it in the orange!

Trut · 02/10/2020 14:21

Well, I do like it in orange in @PastramiNoRye link.

Aren’t the metal straps a bit uncomfortable though?

Trut the 80s are back! At least in handbags any way (haven't you seen all the quilted chain strap bags!) not so sure about the perm though Grin

I love the style of the Biba one! But worry not leather will just look cheap?

BabyItsAWildWorld · 02/10/2020 14:43

I love the Will Bees one! It looks good quality, classy (maybe not to Trut Grin) and the kind of price I could manage, but I was hoping for a chain strap.

Why can't I find the perfect bag!!

I read this a CHIN strap and searched through all the photos trying to find out what a chin strap is Blush Grin

SmileyClare · 02/10/2020 14:45

You can buy metal chain straps for handbags separately if that helps. Just thinking you might see a bag you like with a leather strap and you could customise it yourself.

Trut · 02/10/2020 14:46

@BabyItsAWildWorld 😃

SmileyClare · 02/10/2020 14:47

I mean you could hang a small bag off your chin if that's your thing Dee Grin

Tonytonymacaroni · 02/10/2020 14:58

Hill and Friends have a collaboration with Label Mix at Next (website only, I don’t think they’re available in stores as far as I know)
They do a small leopard cross body in leather - it’s a leather strap but maybe you could replace that with a gold chain strap?

I love the blurb with that one Pamsalts..

Can be used to storage your business cards, phone, wallet and some small article Grin

That's the trouble with all these weeny bags; you can't get anything in them apart from business cards and a small article.

BabyItsAWildWorld · 02/10/2020 17:24

OMG TotalDisaster12345 you found what I wanted!! Thank you!!

I love the leopard print and the zebra print though!
I'm thinking of getting both, because at that price I will still have saved £400 on the Hill and Friends one.
That makes sense right Grin?

You convinced yet Trut Grin?

Emma10702 · 02/10/2020 17:30

I think the one that Totaldisaster has found is nicer. I struggle with the H&F smiley face thing.

BabyItsAWildWorld · 02/10/2020 17:38

I agree. I don't mind the smiley face in the metal but don't like it in the leather version.

But nicer and £500 cheaper, what a result.
I am so happy!

I wanted that bag too and found this one which I got a couple of months ago which I'm really pleased with
