Help me decide between these three bags- for casual days out and things like pop concerts etc to go with jeans and stuff, I'm 49 and still fancy myself as a bit rock chick but I aren't really, more girl next door.

None of the 3 choices. The logos and shiny finish and patterns 😬.

I can see that this thread has moved on a bit since your opening post @Prettypussy , but if you're looking for a cross body camera style bag, these two are both leather and resemble the Marc Jacobs ones that you have (without being embossed with his logo, so no advertising going on) and you could buy both for less than the price of one of his:

Sorry I don't know what is happening there. I tried posting two links to the M&S UK site and I started getting errors with the links
I'll try again.

Bag 1

Bag 2

Those are nice. They are the almost identical , but not cheap and tacky looking, versions of the Marc Jacob bags

LookItsMeAgain · 23/04/2022 09:12

@KimikosNightmare - And (if I didn't mention it before) both of them could be bought for less than the price of ONE of the Marc Jacobs...did I mention that? 😆Worth considering....

Not loving the M&S ones, but I really dislike gold hardware with black.

Can't get the link to work but I like the Black Frances from Whistles (great name too!)

Number 2, and the first Coach bag are lovely. Although 1 can be worn cross body I think it's a little too chunky, I have one a similar size I hate wearing cross body. For me I always think about how easy it is for me to get in and out of when I'm doing with other bags juggling stuff, can be a deal-breaker.

Love the little coach bag, but wonder if that’s not quite your style.

boxey camera bags are all the trend at the moment. The zadig one is bad looks very cheap and too “blingy”.

The whistles one- the a line shape of the bag really frumps it up. Don’t like.

aspinal is a good shout.

& Kresse leather clutch bag with a strap

I like bags without obvious logos and this brand uses reclaimed parachute silk, fire hose leather & leather off cuts from luxury brands. So it's completely sustainable and eco friendly minimising waste.

Oh I came on to post Elvis and Kresse as I have been lusting after one for a while

They have some lovely combinations and no obvious logos

3 is my fave but think the crossbody strap is quite short.

giggbig · 23/04/2022 11:09

There’s some nice Chloe crossbody bags about at the moment.

not at marc jacobs prices though...,

hattie43 · 23/04/2022 11:11

I'm sorry I'm not keen on any of them and they don't convey festival rock chick vibe to me .
Have a look at Oliver Bonus they have some nice cross body bags and much more reasonable .

Prettypussy · 23/04/2022 13:11

Sorry, I don't really like the M&S ones- they don't look more expensive or less tacky than the Marc Jacobs one to me- they just look cheaper and more generic looking to me- especially with the bright gold hardware.

I don't like any of those. I prefer the snapshot.
