Looking for a Crossbody bag

43 replies

TheDarrellRivers · 27/12/2021 02:35

I would like to find a crossbody bag that is on the larger side to fit all the junk that I carry around with me on a daily basis.
Bigger than an Amberley Satchel or large Lottie.
I need something that fastens securely, flap or zip.
Something other than black or brown.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

I was going to suggest the amberley. Sorry OP, I don’t have any suggestions but hopefully someone will be along to help.

Thanks RussianSpy. It’s a lovely bag, but I can’t fit my purse, diary, and (very small!) make up bag all in together.

I don’t want to spend more than £1000. Would rather spend less!

If you carry a lot of stuff, you need a very lightweight bag, have you looked at Kipling? Very light, waterproof and lots of crossbody styles in many sizes & colours.

You've made me feel considerably better about a completely unrelated matter.

Roselily, thank you, I’ll take a look at Kipling. I don’t consider it really a lot of stuff, but clearly it is as the bags I have can fit my sunglasses and diary or sunglasses and makeup bag, but not all three.

Anotherbrewplease glad to help!! Love your username

I would like one too but don't want to spend more than 30 pounds!

Kurt geiger have some lovely x body bags. All different colours & textures. A few different sizes too & the 50% off sale is on too.

These are considerably cheaper but IMO some of the styles are lovely. Might be more casual than you are looking for though? Lots of crossbody options in different colours and sizes

NC6789012 · 27/12/2021 09:15

Im eyeing up this atm...

The Sadie is only a few cm bigger but beautiful and over budget.

Chloe Marcie smaller.

I think you need to look at more of a Bayswater or Alexa.

I have this one from Weald Handmade (via Toast)

Fossil? I had one of their big satchel bags for years and the leather was lovely (and nicer the more battered it got), plus they often have a choice of colours.

I like this hobo in the olive colour www.fossil.com/en-gb/products/jolie-hobo/ZB1584376.html

KirstenBlest · 27/12/2021 14:33

Get it Socks

I've just bought a preloved mulberry (a large effie) which I think would fit all your stuff and is cross body. It was £200. Might be worth looking , mulberry have preloved bags

Olliesocks · 27/12/2021 14:43

Mulberry Antony?

Scrooge89 · 27/12/2021 14:46

About to say I’ve got a Mulberry Antony a large one had it about 12 years hardly use it now.. but it’s big!

Olliesocks · 27/12/2021 15:30

Mines also about 12 years old but I’ve only used it regularly for the last 2-3 years.

MissCruellaDeVil · 27/12/2021 21:05

I have an oversized alexa bag, I think it was about £1200, possibly more. You could get a preloved one within your budget, it fits in more than my Louis Vuitton Neverfull!

Is anyone else reeling at the thought of spending £1000 on a bag??

Or is it just me??

KirstenBlest · 29/12/2021 14:54

I wouldn't.
And I certainly wouldn't without being absolutely certain that I would not want a different one before long.

Purplecatshopaholic · 29/12/2021 15:03

Defo agree a Mulberry Antony, the larger one. Awesome bag, I love mine, totally worth it
