Please help me find a nice handbag for everyday use like going shopping or to the park. My last one fell apart and I need a new one now Something not too small and up to £100 budget. Thank you

I'm ordering the White Stuff one as well. You should be a personal shopper @BigusBumus!

I have a wardrobe full of handbags - from very expensive to cheap. Right now I'm loving wearing this one (which I have in three colours - can easily withstands heavy use) - it looks a million times better in the flesh (and the brown is darker) www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N23NRGK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?th=1&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&ie=UTF8

Wow, @BarryWhiteIsMyBrother, some of those colours are amazing. Might get a couple for the summer. Thank you.

I have loads Of Mia Tui bags
If you want something big then the mini Jen is perfect
Zoe is my day to day one
But Elenor and Samantha are similar just an inch or so in size smaller
I also have the Charlotte and the Maya back pack
And a few of the small clutch bags
With all of their bags they are designed with lots of pockets so you can always find stuff
They have an insulted space that will fit a 500ml water bottle
Two separate compartments
And then the middle bit
You also get a clutch bag which each bag which is great to put make up and stuff in

On the website they have videos of all the bags and Inside of them
Customer service is first class
They are also vegan if that’s important
Hope that helps

What about a Longchamp Le Pliage bag.
Fit loads in, but still look good with just a couple of bits in.
Light- some handbags are heavy before you put anything in, and pretty indestructible too!

Seconded. Lots of colours and understated class . Can be repaired too if damaged .

Thanks everyone, I have a Longchamp one that I use when out with the kids as it fits in so much but I wanted a smaller one for the shops etc. I have ordered the White Stuff one and the Fossil Hannah hobo. I'm tempted by the Mia Tuo ones as well, very useful to know they have videos of their bags thanks @im5050

I love longchamps le pillage but you can never find anything inside them
I used to put another bag inside it so I could find stuff

Try fossil?

Try an organiser- life changing :)

I have an organiser in mine for days that im at work. Then if I want to use it at the weekend I’ll just pop that out.

Just bought the PureLux one. With 50% off. Thanks @BigusBumus.

Dizzybet74 · 27/01/2021 12:06

I've had a couple of really nice ones from white stuff - good quality leather, sensible pockets... And good value too (especially if you buy when they have 20% off or similar).

Must. Not. Look. On. Handbag. Threads...

Handbags & trainers are my kryptonite!

A bag I’ve bought recently that I love is a large tan leather saddlebag:

& also bought one from a random seller on Etsy, really lovely slouchy fabric but can’t find a link, Etsy definitely worth checking out though!
