I've had a couple of leather bags from Boden and the leather is great - good and robust! Bags are still going strong, have had no issues with handles falling off or lining ripping. Love Boden bags.

And have found that I tended to get compliments from random strangers about the niceness of my bags when using them, which is always good.

oh goody

so

how much do I pay for one on Ebay then?

or does anyone have any they may be sick of and want to offload?

IMO the green is the best colour (I have it)

Not sick of it yet though

Oliveoil · 28/02/2008 13:36

do you have that very bag?

oh I want it

it does look quite nice

i bought a lovely orange bag (nicer than it sounds) from tkmaxx the other day. nicer than it sounds...(and £38 instead of heaps more)

sagacious · 28/02/2008 13:39

It looks like it (this seasons) .. not a great picture tbh its better in real life

yes I have prowled TK Maxx

I want a big leather one, with one main big pocket for all work/children crap and a selection of small pockets for bits

it must go over my shoulder and have a big zip, cannot stand big bags with small zip spaces

I need to design my own I think

Don't think mine would suit you then...and I am also quite attached to them!

I have a 15% discount code + delivery + free returns for Boden if you are tempted to get one to look at and send back if not perfect for you - RQZM. At least you would know if it was the bag for you then, so you could either start saving up or stop lusting.

but they didn't have any humungous bags

Oliveoil · 28/02/2008 14:31
