I want a uniqlo bag, that's NOT the Uniqlo bag

[Moredarkchocolateplease]

Has anyone seen anything at any price point that's just like the Uniqlo bag but better quality - leather/suede etc?

I've looked in so many places and can't find anything.

Ive discounted whistles, jigsaw, Oliver bonas, wolf and badger, all saints, other stories, hush, anthropologie, cos (I love the cos bag but don't like the way the strap buttons, and I want to wear a bag high up and not have loads of excess strap hanging down).

Help! Surely everyone would be copying this bag now it's so popular 😁

Arket! I just bought one in black leather and it's lush....

@MissKittyFantastico84 thanks so much but that's way too big.

I literally want it to be about the same size as the Uniqlo bag. I've discounted the lovely one in Jigsaw for being big too. (I tried it on earlier today).

I currently use a very small cross body bag which feel SO dated..

Ive looked at loads of half moon and sling bags and nothing fits the bill yet!

Cos have them, including a beautiful green one.

Thanks @Medlady but also discounted - LOVE the bag but don't want loads of excess strap hanging down.

Otherwise that would be perfect.

Blimey you could get a baby in that, Tis massive

v nice tho

I have one from Scott Samuel: scott-samuel.co.uk/products/leather-bumbag

According to TikTok videos the strap on the Cos bags are shorter than they used to be and too short now

All saints have a smaller version of the arket
One which is lovely

I have a very similar Mango one but in black leather. It's from Vinted though so I can't link a new one. Mango do some half moon styles, and there's quite a few on Vinted.

Thanks @Blossomandbee I don't know why I didn't think about vinted!

Cheap and nice

@VisaWoes sorry that should have said thanks! I'm in London next week so I'll check out COS and give it the benefit of the doubt till then.

This one

White stuff do one https://www.whitestuff.com/p/1274/Sebby-Leather-Sling-Bag/BRT_ORANGE?gclid=Cj0KCQjwjt-oBhDKARIsABVRB0yUajrO4dyNyD_4u1UDjIwXnktOUmRE6VBbswnjvbTzjU_3tseDENgaAowZEALw_wcB

Have you looked at the Honey & Toast half moon? I have been eyeing up for a while. They've just released a bigger version but I think I prefer the original.

It's quite stiff leather to begin apparently, but really softens and weathers with time, the photos of older ones look really good

Polene. They offer different colour options.

The Row also do a lovely one:

hush you said not hush but this seems to fit the bill?

@notlucreziaborgia omg, despite saying all price points I should have added a top limit, that bag from the Row is utterly beautiful!

If DH wins the lottery tonight that's the one I'm going for!!

I have a Betsy & Floss bag (not this one) and abdolutely lov fit. Very well made, lovely leather betsyandfloss.com/collections/cross-body-bags/products/emilia

@WildCherryBlossom yes I like that one but when I had a look it had mixed reviews for it's quality. Would you say it's well made?

Can you wear it quite high up?

Any good,?

It's huge and clumsy I think. I feel the size of it makes it look cheap. Just my opinion.
