Handbag suggestion help please

5 replies

I am in the market for a new bag.

I want it for work and be large enough for laptop and some A4 documents plus my usual handbag stuff.

Leather with shoulder strap and hand strap.

probably black but would consider brown/tan.

budget under £500 but preferably around £250

I saw this one www.longchamp.com/gb/en/products/handbag-l-L1285772001.html at a great reduced price at the weekend at Bicester but they didn’t have the black just green but I loved it.

any other suggestions?

My first thought (besides Longchamp) was Tory Burch (Perry) but I think the bigger sizes don't have a strap. Would any of these suit?

Fossil

Lauren

Kate Spade

It’s not leather, but I had the Le Pliage suggested to me on here. And it’s amazing. I haven’t used a different bag since i got it. I really like that it is so much lighter than my leather bags and it fits heaps

Thanks both
those suggestions are all nice but I think it was the added interest and slight slouch of the long champ 3D that I liked. It’s not completely a bucket bag if that makes sense.

I didn’t actually realise it came in black as three of the other colours were at Bicester and so reduced as it was last years that I assumed that was all the colours they did. Gutted now.

I treated myself to this for my 50th, fits laptop, notebooks and had a zip middle pocket for all the gubbins of life:

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you  https://www.johnlewis.com/coach-willow-leather-tote-bag/forest/p5235882?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&sshare=jlappioss_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5LkNvcHlUb1Bhc3RlYm9hcmQ=

I have that coach bag in a mustard/yellow and I love it!

I almost got this instead of the le Pliage, but it doesn’t close. I’m not sure if it fits a laptop but I would guess it does. But it’s gorgeous, really soft leather slouchy but still good for work.
