Looking for a slouchy soft leather bag

Has anyone seen a nice hobo style bag recently they could recommend? Preferably long enough strap to wear cross body, leather, up to about £150ish that is big enough to throw a few things in if shopping but not huge.

Osprey London has some lovely hobo bags and quite a few are on sale. I'm quite tempted by the Savannah (reduced from £225 to £95)

@FairNotFair I was looking at the Osprey ones earlier, actually, but I wasn't sure which colour would work when the weather gets colder. They're a bit summery

@Thisismynewname123 True - they did have some nice darker colours but I think they've gone!

This ones lovely….black and in your price range

@BeaucoupFish that one is lovely, thank you. I was hoping to avoid black if I can find something in taupe, or charcoal. However, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for so it may end up being a black bag

@Thisismynewname123

It is a good reduction, I am very tempered myself and it’s a lovely size, i love big slouchy bags, pity it doesn’t have the floral lining though 🙁

I have a beautiful leather Rebecca by Kurt Geiger. Totally fits the brief.

Mia tui have a lovely one

Tey etsy OP. They have some lovely slouchy boho bags. I would love a distressed brown leather one but I just can't bring myself to buy one as I hardly use a bag. Always carrying baby bags so much stuff gets chucked in there (well the keys and phone. I don't have anything else to take 😂)

Like this one. And you can pick the strap length, and they do different colours.

@Thatsplentyjack that is lovely, but I'm not sure if I have the confidence to buy something like this from Etsy, without knowing the quality. Have you bought from that seller? The brown one looks lovely, but I'm never sure if that's difficult to wear with black shoes? I saw this one and it is tempting:
Etsy dark green

I need to decide before the Osprey sale ends on Monday! I'm still looking at the Osprey Kelso one. If it wasn't black, I would definitely go for that, and still likely to, but looking in the meantime. I think this Osprey one is gorgeous, but unfortunately over budget. I'm also wary of suede in the rain:
Osprey Liberty

If anyone else has anything to consider, I'm still looking. It will be my birthday present to me from DH, but there is no way he could choose a bag for me, so he just needs a link!

I've never bought from that seller OP, but I buy from etsy all thw time and I've never had a problem. I have bought bags before aswell, just much cheaper bags and everything is always very good quality. I know what you mean though, I was a bit iffy about etsy at first too, but I have the app now and buy all sorts 🤣

You lot are dangerous, I now feel the need to buy this!

BeaucoupFish · 05/09/2021 12:22

@EmmaJR1
That’s a beautiful bag, the way it folds over and it’s so ‘uncluttered’ however suede bags get ruined really quickly IME just from being touched.

I have a 3 and a 4 year old so probably not a great idea then!
