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.

Ah interesting. It drives me mad because I find it tiny! Good luck with your search. Great user name.

I'm trying to reduce the amount of crap I carry around with me and the only way to do that is to reduce the size of the bag😁

Great user name

Thank you. Are you a fellow Peig sufferer?

Gorgeous but a bit bigger than I'm looking for.

Re Markberg, the next bag I want is similar to that black one but grey with a pointy flap (lol!).

Greetings to all fellow Peig sufferers here 😂

@Rainallnight @honeyfox Do you thunk our interest in handbags is a way of coping with the trauma of Peig who was, presumably, handbagless?

OP posts:
honeyfox · 30/07/2022 22:11

@OchonAgusOchonOh I've been to the Blaskets and I think poor Peig had bigger problems than being handbagless 🤣

But I find there are few problems in life that can't be solved by the acquisition of another, preferably crossbody, handbag.

That she did. I could never understand why, after the first couple of cows/children going over the cliff, they didn't put up a bit of a fence.

And yes, a nice handbag does solve a lot of problems.

I'm on the app so can't seem to do links but attach a photo of a Kate Spade bag that might suit.

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

I've taken a note ,I love them, thanks!

Gorgeous but a bit too rigid.

That is lovely but a bit too rigid. The last time I came in here looking for a bag I got a Kate spade one. Love it.

I know you want leather but I have to suggest primark, mine has lasted 5 years plus and is only battered now because I've really mistreated it. They tend to do the same style most years

OchonAgusOchonOh · 31/07/2022 10:18

Hi Gavin,

If you want to throw up a few photos with prices, that would be great.

That's good to know. I have the non-leather one so it may last. II'm not the best in terms of minding them though.

The leather in these is lovely and soft, at least it is in the one I bought recently. Would the Venetian Passport style work? Or maybe the Notting Hill or Trieste?
They are based in Australia but the website says they ship internationally.

There are definitely a few contenders there. Thank you.

You could try yoox.com they definitely ship to Ireland. They have a massive bag range and you can filter by material, size and price as well as designer. mobile.yoox.com/ie/women/shoponline/bags_mc#/pricemin=50&pricemax=200&size=3&dept=bagsaccwomen&gender=D&season=E&attributes=%7B%22ctgr%22%3A%5B%22brstrcll%22%5D%2C%22mtrl%22%3A%5B%22lthr%22%5D%7D
