Tan leather tote bag help please!

Hi,

I'm looking for a large structured tan leather tote.
Fairly plain and not croc pattern or anything.
I need longish straps because I have fat arms. 😄
I've got a soft tote and definitely want something more structured.
I like the Ralph Lauren tote but I'm not paying 170 quid for a bag that isn't leather and ideally I'd like a bit larger but I love the shape/style/colour.

https://www.ralphlauren.co.uk/en/faux-leather-reversible-tote-536871.html?dwvar536871colorname=Lauren%20Tan%2FOrange&webcat=search#lang=enn_GB&q=Tote&start=1
I've tried all the usual suspects and searched old threads on here but I can't find exactly what I want.
Budget is up to £150.

Any ideas please?

I have one like this from Fat Face. I've had it for about 5 years and it's still looking really good.

Thanks, I did see this and it's lovely but quite similar to what I have. I definitely want something more structured in shape.

Have you seen wanderers bag company? Some lovely ones there.

Joules. I have a big natural tan leather tote from their sale £69. I bloody love it. Joules bags are fab- I have 4.

tothelakes · 30/07/2021 12:47

Thanks both, nothing that's quite right on either of those.

This is more what I'm after.

www.joules.com/Women/Accessories/Danesfield-Handbag/Mahogany?size=One-Size&id=FOJ%7C2152%7CDanesmahogany%7CMahogany%7COne+size Good shout by pp. This joules one may fit the bill?

tothelakes · 30/07/2021 13:22

I like the shape of the Danesfield but not the two tone, sorry! 😄
I really like Joules bags but they don't have what I want this time.

This is an absolute bargain!!

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 30/07/2021 13:43

No need to say sorry! Agree with you on the difference!

tothelakes · 30/07/2021 13:57
I really like that, thanks! It's not leather but I don't mind for that price.

Yoshi bags are nice leather, lined, come with dust bags and seem very good value to me.

Gorgeous leather- I have a wanders travel bag in a different style and it’s lovely. Maybe not structured enough though.

I suggest you have a look at the Fossil sale. There's a few things that might suit you, although they call some of them satchels and there's an extra 30percent off sale prices for the next couple of days.

Or there's this in Radley if you don't mind that the brand isn't super fashionable. Too much stitching for my taste but quite nice

MerylSqueak · 30/07/2021 15:24

The link takes you to the black for some reason which isn't in the sale but the tan is at £119

tothelakes · 30/07/2021 15:26

[quote Galassia]Not a lot in your price range that is actual leather.

Any way you can increase your budget?

Not at the moment but I have two Tory Burch bags on my wishlist. 😄

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've already looked at and ruled out most of them. I've come to the conclusion that I'm far fussier than I thought.

I have quite a lot of bags so am looking for a very specific thing which makes it harder to find!

OP posts:
tothelakes · 30/07/2021 15:30

I really really want that Tory Burch one.

OP posts:
HeyGirlHeyBoy · 30/07/2021 15:57

It is lovely but personally, for that price I'd want something a little more special rather than classic, if that makes sense.

PolkadotSkies · 30/07/2021 16:24

This one is lovely.

I see what you mean but I don't really go for anything but classic bags tbh. I don't like coloured bags or anything too flashy. It's just not me. I barely even have any black bags because I prefer brown and tan.
