I've been coveting this bag www.cambridgesatchel.com/collections/womens-the-bowls-bag and going to take the plunge. It will be my main day bag so for keys, purse etc. I'm pretty casual but well put together so nice stylish jumpers and jeans/boots in winter, pretty tops and dresses in summer. Colour..I'm caught between what I like and what's practical. I like: the bright red, the oxblood, the grounded celtic grain and the french grey. I probably like the oxblood most but its more of an evening/winter colour I think so I might use it less. Bright red might not go with as much, but more fun than the others. French blue- my second favourite but might show marks easily. Celtic grain- bit..boring? But probably the easiest to wear. Any suggestions much appreciated, it's a pricey purchase so want to have properly considered it.

@NeedWineNow yes, the poppy bag is pretty roomy. I usually carry a long purse, keys, phone and a little make up bag in it without any problems. I think the shape of it (wide at the bottom) helps fit more in then you'd think. I had one of the little satchel style bags previously and couldn't fit much in so ended up barely using it.

Thanks @Groundedtraveller. We'll be in town near their London shop tomorrow so I might pop in and have a look if I get a chance.

My bags ahem too much discussion about the poppy have arrived! Love love love them. Got the large poppy in racing green which is a great size and beautiful classy colour, then the bowls bag in bright red which is more of a Ruby colour in real life. Can fit much more in there than I thought and its a really unique style. Def recommend to anyone who is contemplating it.

Oh no @Walesrecommendations We never got to the shop at the weekend and I was resisting quite nicely and now you've said how nice the large Poppy in green is.....

Any colour apart from Gambol. It makes me want to stick pins in my eyes 😳

@randomcrapinmyhandbag yeah I think they lost the classiness there.

I have a green Cloud bag. I’m not a “green” person but I can confirm it is the most beautiful and elegant shade. I love it and it goes well with so many outfits (specially my pink knitwear).

Its a really ugly shape. But the green is the best colour.
