Evening bag help please

Help! I'm looking for a nice "evening" bag, I have few events/ weddings coming up. Ideally black, and one that can be worn as crossbody. Like wallet on chain type, doesn't have to fit much. I ordered Maje one below but had to return, because the crossbody chain was too short. Any good recommendations? Budget up to £500. tia

Try John Lewis or TK Max

(Maybe that’s too big for you though? Are you literally looking for it to fit your cards/money?)

@Heroicallyfound thanks, but yeah ideally something bit smaller. But that's a nice bag!

Mine is not branded from a small local independent boutique, only £20 ... just as you described. Pretty sure they will be available in lots of independent boutiques as the other ranges they sell are

Check out anya hindmarch evening bag section. There's quite a few on there I would buy, most under 500. They are quite quirky though :)

You get similar ones with the chain too that are slightly dearer, but honestly at events the wrist strap is fantastic

I bought a lovely one from Oliver Bonas

Or if you can stretch your budget a bit this one is great, i have another colour in this and its brilliant for going out.

Do you have this bag? It's just what I'm looking for 😻 ..can you fit a phone in it?

I have the Mulberry Darley that has been posted in black quilted leather. It's a great evening bag and I can wear it cross body too.

Penguinsmum -

Yes I have this, phone, bank card, lippy and housekey all fit in, its perfect for weddings or evenings out

Aspinal of London Lottie or Mayfair clutch. The Lottie is my favourite of the two as I think it can also be dressed down, the Mayfair clutch is more formal.
