Smart handbag needed urgently. Help!

[Handbagger99]

Namechanged for this. I've got an invite to the Garter Parade on Monday and will be in St George's chapel so it's day formal attire, hats etc. I have an outfit and hat but desperately need a bag. The problem is I have a lot of foot issues so the bag needs to be big enough to carry my orthopaedic shoes in that I'll change out of just before going into the chapel.

I'd love to be able to carry a smart clutch but it's just not practical. I need something cream/ivory to match my hat etc, that is big enough for me to squeeze my shoes in - luckily I have small feet so my shoes are not massive, but it needs to look stylish and not a huge bag. Think if Princess Kate had bunions and had to carry her own shoes! Budget is ideally under £100 but can spend more.

Lovely ladies of MN, please help.

Can you google oversized clutch bag and see if anything similar to this would work

I'd go into TK MAxx and have a look, you could take your shoes with you to check they fit. They often have a variety of styles and colours.

How about This?

Love that! Not sure it would fit my shoes in or get here on time but it's great.

@2gorgeousboys TK Maxx is a great idea. I hadn't thought about them.

@Smartnugget I like the idea of a rolled up clutch as I could tuck it under my arm.

Great ideas. Thanks. It's my main worry whenever I go anywhere that needs smart shoes is how on earth I'll manage

sorry I didn’t look at the delivery timescales. This is similar, over budget but I think you’d use it for years.

Thank you!! I love it, it's in the sale, and it would work for loads of work things too so I've ordered it for next day delivery. Fingers crossed my shoes fit in.

Excellent 😁I’m excited for you. I hope the shoes fit …
