Crossbody bag - part chain, part leather strap

28 replies

Flyinggeese1 · 28/07/2021 13:29

Hi can anyone point me at some bags please? I’m after a crossbody, small bag, in black or tan (but other colours considered) with the type of strap shown in the pic, so part chain but mostly leather strap.

The one pictured would be perfect if it wasn’t for the logo, this is a brand my niece wears and I see it as it as too young, which is daft but true.

So very subtle branding is good too!

Thanks in advance!

This is cross body, part chain part not, lots of colour options. But not leather. miatui.com/collections/across-body-bags/products/rebecca?variant=31379794100291

Thank you! Though sorry I should have said I definitely want a leather bag. Happy to pay up to £200 for a great quality one. Don’t mind what brand as long as it’s not too glaringly obviously branded.

Radley cross body pocket bag comes in a couple of sizes and both your colours but doesn't have a chain. Is the chain a dealbreaker?

Thanks Waltzingparrot I’ve never looked at that site. Some real contenders there.

My favourite trusty bag of around 10 years is now being held together with a key ring piece and want something very similar. I love this style of bag and strap.

Thanks but yes I love that style and don’t want to compromise. Thanks for the reply though.

I'm not sure whether this is available in the UK, but it looks very nice and no obvious logo.

Have a look at these you can customise what strap you want. I'm definately wanting one of these afterseeing Davina Mcall with one on Long Lost Family.

They’re lovely I’mtoo, but unfortunately I can’t see any part chain / leather. Gorgeous bags though.

I've just bought the pink version of this one and it's lovely, nice soft leather and no 'in your face' branding.

@Blondeissimo that is lovely! I'm tempted!

midsomermurderess · 28/07/2021 17:25

John Lewis has some Ralph Lauren ones like this although I think is quite big on the logo; or this from coach

Maranello · 28/07/2021 17:46

Kate Spade Spencer crossbody and Knott Flap crossbody both fit your criteria.

Do it!

Blondissimo and Midsomer the Coach ‘Crosstown* is gorgeous. It’s a little step up in smartness from the bag I use at the moment and that’s no bad thing.

Blondissimo is the size OK?

Maranello they do! Thanks.

I feel now I have some choices and will try and see some of these (Kate Spade and Coach) in the flesh.

I’d really struggled to find this exact style by just a key word search, so really appreciate these replies.

For me yes. Fits my phone, card wallet and other bits and bobs too.

The only thing I'd mention is that it's quite 'thin' so not very deep from front to back (hope that makes sense!). Not an issue for me but give it a try. John Lewis have a very good returns policy if, like me, you like to try things on at home and get a feel for them.

Happy shopping!

Have a look at Furla.

Thanks Blondeissimo.

Great! Hope you find a bag you love.

I’d just put your snobbynesss aside and get the Michael Kors one- they are always good value and great quality! It’s just a name- no difference between it saying Coach or Michael Kors. I’m going to get the Jetset quilted camera bag which also has a pert chain strap!

Rebecca Minkoff have a number of part chain and part leather strap bags. I find my hair gets tangled by chains unfortunately so I rarely use mine but they are a great size and quality. www.theoutnet.com/en-gb/shop/product/rebecca-minkoff/shoulder-bags/cross-body/mini-mac-leather-shoulder-bag/16114163150638122
