Help finding small cross body bag with multiple compartments

93 replies

OchonAgusOchonOh · 30/07/2022 16:52

I got great help here before when looking for a bag so am hoping you can all help me again.

I am looking for a soft leather cross body bag that has a number of compartments. I bought a cheap one recently in TK Maxx and it is the perfect shape, size etc but, as it's not leather, I know it will start to get battered looking quite quickly. I would love to find one similar to this but in leather. I'm not bothered about a label and would probably not spend more than around €200 on it. Other limitation is it needs to ship to Ireland.

I've attached photos of the one I got and put a biro on it so you can get an idea of the size. It's 20cmx15cmx2cm but obviously as it's soft, it is much deeper when full. I can put my phone in the front compartment (zipped), my sunglasses, lipstick etc in the back compartment (not zipped) and a a small wallet and keys in the middle one. There's room for a few more bits in it too.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure of materials but I have had some nice bags from Nikki James

White Stuff and Fat Face might have some also

I love the ones by Troop. Lots of compartments and very long lasting. Other colours.

Ooh sorry, not leather. But they are hard wearing.

Mywalit has some great leather cross body bags

Thank you all.

The Frederic St James one is lovely but a bit more rigid than I want. Nikki James and Troop are lovely too but I'm looking for something wider rather than taller.

Problem is I know exactly what I want so amn't as open to other shapes as I might have been otherwise.

Will check out White Stuff and Fat Face

I have 3 of this brand clutches arriving on Monday so I can let you know what the leather is like. Free returns too hence why I brought 3!

How about peelo?

Not sure about the compartments but the leather is lovely and the pocket size is big.

They are lovely but a bit rigid. I want something soft so if I don't have much in it it's smaller.

KatharineofAragon · 30/07/2022 19:48

I would like one like that in leather too! Watching with interest!

It is beautiful, isn't it?

The problem though when you want something specific is that it's very hard to find it.

OP posts:
KatharineofAragon · 30/07/2022 20:17

Yes it is beautiful. I have been searching too!

cherrypiepie · 30/07/2022 20:20

Is this too big?. I have it and love it! So much so I have it in tan and black. The tan is a bit too brown tho.

Two zipped compartments and a pouch in the middle.

Beautiful but too rigid.

I'm sounding like a total fusspot amn't I? I do appreciate all your suggestions though

@OchonAgusOchonOh
These ones, didn't know which colour to go for so I will have a bit of a fashion show and see what goes best with my outfits 😀 but at the price they were I could always keep more than one

This is a bargain www.russellandbromley.co.uk/trooper/240522 Russell and Bromley bags are really good quality imo. I know they not let her, but some of the smaller Kipling bags are ok. I have one I use when I’m travelling as it has plenty of pockets. The nylon fabric is hard wearing.

QuebecBagnet · 30/07/2022 20:33

I keep seeing adverts for PomPom London bags on my fb feed which look like they might suit.

Lovely but I'm set on leather.
