If your budget is more H&M than Hermes what bag do you take out out?

Midi dress, wedges, possibly a smart denim jacket

I've no idea what kind of bag to get - I'm going out on Saturday so I've potentially left it too late but I can try!

Pubs in Newcastle, lots of standing chatting as there are lots of us so needs to be something I don't need to park. Day time into early evening drinks 🤩

Crossbody bag from M&S, Uniqlo, Klippan. Maaaybe River Island or New Look. TK Maxx.
I think if you're on a budget it's better to wear non leather than cheap PU leather HOWEVER sometimes fake leather looks alright.

Pretty much exactly this! My current one is actually H&M.

Cross body Uniqlo bag for more casual and a cross body black leather small bag for more formal.

Whats your budget?

Oliver Bonas sometimes have nice crossbody bags.

Small leather cross body bag. Mine is orange.

Definitely a cross body of some sort, not too big obv!

For Summer I use a cross body natural colour straw zipped bag, bought in H+M or New Look, somewhere like that, can't remember. Lightweight, small, squashy, holds loads but looks small and goes with everything, looks summery. I can wash it too.

In Winter it's a plain soft leather cross body that I got on holidays somewhere probably Italy. It's coffee colour, and I have a similar one in black.

Small cross body bag from just about anywhere made of just about anything (except that ridiculous bum bag thingworn as a cross body bag). Nobody will notice your bag - you just want peace of mind that's it's secure and with you without you having to pay attention to it.

yy to small cross body or camera type bag (also cross body strap). Or I just put stuff in my pockets, I’m a minimalist when it comes to stuff on nights out.

Cross body bag for me too, I'm partial to a bright contrasting colour. I have some great ones from charity shops, as well as some new.

I have 2 both from tkmaxx, one , I think is Ravel black and white snakeskin (fake) and a DNKY sparkly gold one.
