I can't find a new crossbody bag I like

So I have had a fake (sorry!) mulberry Antony bag for the last decade and I have loved it for its capacity, soft strap, soft body and durability.

Now I need a new bag but I really can't find anything I like and obviously I can't afford a grand or whatever it is to get a new real Antony, plus I feel like I should get something different.

Maybe I have to accept that I will just have to carry less in it because most options seem quite small, rigid and heavy...

I don't like brands like Radley or Fossil or Coach, and I think leather would be best.

Hit me with your suggestions!!

Thanks @Mariell yes both of those companies have nice ones. Also Aurora, Pom Pom etc. Lots to think about! 🤪

Funnilyenough @Ninkanink I had a crossbody bag for years from M&S that I loved. It was turquoise mock croc! Haven't seen anything quite right on there right now but I will check high street

Depends where you live I get all mine from TKMAXX last one was a chloe page bag medium size which was a gift from my BF birthday and Christmas 🥳 it was reduced to just over £100. But I live up north so our stores are unbelievable. Try online if you live in a city

That's a good tip actually, I just looked on Tkmaxx online and they have mulberry bags! Ok so they don't have anything right now thats right for me but there are some good bargains on there

Gift Pop Boutique do small cross body bags called The Squashy. Not leather but no branding, very soft, lots of jazzy colours and straps.

I've had a few bags from Alice Wonders and bought a new bag strap from there today. Really good value.

Take a look at vintage Coach bags like the Rambler or Patricia, the quality is amazing.

Just in case anyone wanted an update I think I'm going to get an APC Geneve bag 🙌🏼

Also I really wanted a coach rambler but they're all sold out and I don't really want black.
