Across body bag recommendations.

[condensationwindows]

I’d like something for a couple city breaks I’ve got booked over the next year, all being well.

I don’t like the Mulberry/Radley style cross body bags but overall their size is good. I love the look of a camera bag but they are pretty small. Any suggestions. Preferably leather. Thanks.

Fossil is worth a look, I’ve used mine for ages now and it is still looking good no signs of wear and tear and I find it a perfect size, just wish it had a thicker (wider) strap.

Thank you. I’ll take a look.

Budget and colour?

Coach and Kate Spade have some nice ones.

Thanks. Hadn’t thought of either so will have a look.

Check out Mia Tui. Their cross body bag is only £20 and you can get them as part of a bundle of bags. They're not leather as it's a vegan brand I think. I've had two of their bags for 3 years and they've worn well.

I bought this yesterday, arrived this morning, really pleased with it for a budget everyday bag. Not normally a brand I would choose but it seems good quality and well made. They have a few more crossbody bags in the sale.

Was also going to suggest mia tui as well. I have several of their bags in different colours. They are not leather, but are good quality and have features, such as the key chain, that I have never seen before in bags at this price point.

Nixey bags are absolutely gorgeous and the quality is incredible. I love mine and wear it so much. It has aged beautifully.

Fossil but I'd get in sale or outlets or coach Sutton hobo (my favourite style)

Have a look at Meg and Bee; decent size, large choice of colours and straps plus good quality leather.

That Ted baker bag is lovely.
On the lower end of the budget scale, H&M usually has some decent bags in

This is lovely. Not a brand I’ve purchased before but they have excellent reviews. I’m tempted by this myself

salbodoodlecat Mia Tui, that was exactly who I was trying to remember earlier today, they used to appear in my FB all the time but I haven't seen them for ages - thanks!

Pleasure!

I’ve just gotten a Madewell crossbody tote from Shopbop and it’s perfect. I already have a transport tote from them so I knew the leather would be lovely but I just love the size and feel of it. I ordered a stripy canvas strap from Amazon for a fiver to change up the look of it. You can buy proper Madewell straps but I refuse to pay 50 quid for a bag strap!

I have a couple of Kate spade ones, used pretty much every day, have aged well. This is the one I use the most, it’s currently on offer for £79.

I have a crossbody from Fatface which I love, mines an older one but they generally have nice ones in

I got a lovely tan osprey one recently, perfect size

I’ve got a crossbody satchel style one from Cambridge satchel company. It’s about 5 years old and has worn so well

Have you considered Kipling bags?
