Bags from Fat Face - any good?

The leather bags from Fatface seem a lot more reasonably priced compared to other brands. I don't think I've bought anything from them before. Or any other brands who do leather bags under £200 - preferably less. Not too big. Thanks.

I have a leather Fatface tote about four years old and it still looks beautiful, I love it.

I have two bags from Fatface (one leather and one suede) that I've had for a while and they've both held up well.

I bought the previous version of the Pia bag from Fatface 4 years ago and it's still going strong. Love that it can be worn as a shoulder bag, a cross body bag and a rucksack so shoulders never get too sore. Also lots of useful pockets.

I've had bags from fat face that haven't lasted

I've got a lovely tote that is lasting well.

JosieOhNo · 30/05/2023 20:23

I've had a fat face tote for 7+ years, it's aged beautifully and I still love it.

Also bought a cross body bag last year, great quality and really soft.

EversoDisorganised · 30/05/2023 20:24

I had a lovely soft suede cross body bag from them a few years ago, it was well made and lasted for ages. I seem to remember it was very reasonably priced.

I have one and I'm happy with it. M&S leather bags are good too and generally under £100

twinteenwrangler · 30/05/2023 20:40

I have a fat face leather bag that's almost 20 years old! Of course the quality may have changed in that time...

RedSoloCup · 30/05/2023 20:41

Mines a year old and still looks new (black leather crossover)

ConvallariaMuguet · 30/05/2023 20:43

Mine has survived five years of constant use and has held up well.

Don't recommend Fatface bags. I bought an £80 leather satchel a couple of years ago. Within a few days the strap broke off the bag and broke halfway along as well. I paid a cobbler to fix the strap. Then the lining frayed and came away from the leather within a few weeks. I returned it and got a full refund.

My everyday bag is from Fat Face, it's still going strong after 7 years. I love it, have not found anything worthy of replacing it yet. The leather just looks better the more it ages. Only problem is it's really small so only just fits my phone, purse and keys in.

ImAvingOops · 30/05/2023 23:03

I have a black leather tote that I got in the sale a few years ago and it's great - still looks new despite being used lots to lug around all my junk!

canyon2000 · 31/05/2023 06:57

I have a black and a brown leather handbag from Fat Face and they have lasted for several years and still look new.

longtompot · 30/05/2023 18:54

I got one for my birthday last year and I love it.

This one but in tan

I liked this one too. Shame a few folk had bags that weren't so good. I will have a look at M & S too. I think Coach get quite a good name but they seem to be a bit more expensive. Thanks all. Time I had a new bag.

Having faffed about getting and returning several bags a few years ago to replace my old one I got the Fatface Prague in black and use it all the time
