Trumpets & Benches

[Floofydawg]

New thread to show what handbag you're using today, or what you're contemplating purchasing.

I'm lusting after this.

And using this today.

I'm very keen on this at the moment, even though a white bag is totally impractical:

Would also not say no to this in cognac:

This is probably an appropriate place to mention that Roka have free UK shipping and selected styles discounted this weekend. I am tempted.

@Floofydawg I prefer your Mulberry.

I need a new bag for the summer, £500 price point as it's for every day and work so can't go too far over the top, probably: Coach, Spade, Aspinall, Smythson. I need to see and touch bags to chose so need a trip up to Regent Street and can't be bovvered. My nearest John Lewis doesn't carry much stock nowadays.

I want something stone/taupe coloured, not too big and not too small and not with an obvious "designer name" on it.

@RosesAndHellebores you could probably get a used Mulberry for that price point. The Darley satchel is a good size.

@RosesAndHellebores have you considered Polene?

Unfortunately they don't have a UK store though.

Strathberry is another option https://www.johnlewis.com/strathberry-mosaic-bag/oat/p109876344?s_ppc=2dx_mixed_fashion_BAU&tmad=c&tmcampid=2&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwk6SwBhDPARIsAJ59GwcRDRt_oKXLqQZPChJjEPvy9rOXF7UoXpkjFqjp1LhEAGZLe74PXk0aAsT-EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Ha ha love it.

That didn't work apologies

I bloody love a Gucci monogram. Is that your I’m wearing it today or your want to buy @ChanelNo19EDT ?

@doglover90 loving the Polene bags. Looks like they only have branches in Paris, NY, Tokyo. Do you know if they have concessions elsewhere in France or possibly Barcelona?

This is my current daily use handbag, LV Noenoe 😍

@Floofydawg - not keen on a used bag unless I know its exact provenance. I'm not expert enough to sniff out fakes.

Fair enough. There are some FB selling sites which are pretty much guaranteed to be genuine as they're moderated. But if you want new, also fair enough.

Actually, only a little above budget new.

Thanks for the lovely thread @Floofydawg. If I was actually going anywhere today I would be using this bag.

Currently obsessing over a Chanel classic flap - medium in beige. (Which I can’t afford atm).

Pressed post too soon!

I bought a Mulberry Antony last month as my last one was just on the wrong side of 'worn in' for smart casual use.

I use a Mulberry Willow for work but I'm lusting over a Chanel. 20 years ago I said I'd have one for my 40th. How I wish I'd foreseen the massive price rises that means I'll probably not have one by my 60th!

I just ordered this (but for £215 rather than EUR525)

@claracluck1978 I love the Anthony.

Gorgeous bag @narniabusiness

Wearing the Gucci soho chain today . I love it as it's very roomy, comfortable on the shoulders and goes with everything.

no I'm just lusting after it. I'll join in the spirit and post the bag I used when I went out earlier.

I love my Bayswater tote in oak for work. But I do fancy a change.

Will be another tote but I am not sure which one. Any recommendations will be welcomed
I looked at the neverfull but don’t like any of them from a looks point of view.

Willing to spend up to 2k. It doesn’t need to fit a Trumpet. Just my laptop 😂

I have ridden this chloë see bag hard. It's an everyday bag.

They are so versatile! My old one was a battered red from years and years ago so bought an oak this time. Might be tempted by another colour too. I actually went in to John Lewis to look at Longchamp bags for a weekend away and somehow came out with the Anthony
