Help me find a bag. I’m looking for a bag that will play the same role as my small mulberry lily (although could go a bit bigger).
I’m looking at something in the same price bracket ideally and a good quality brand, but maybe a little bit edgier?
I don’t want coach or Michael kors or Marc Jacobs … but am lost for ideally of other brands! Does anyone have any suggestions. I really like the style of this bag but would like to to be leather

I've got a Pom Pom England cross body bag and I love it. So many colours to choose from, the leather and quality is outstanding. Customer service is amazing to.

So many good suggestions. And lots of never heard of - must have been living under a rock... although in my defence apart from Harvey nick's there is no decent shops apart from the high street brand here.
Thank you!

Go to the Strathberry flagship store where you can see the bags and try them on. They're on Multrees Walk round the corner from Harvey Nicks

I have been looking for a replacement cross body ever since the strap on my Fossil Harper split beyond repair. And despite contacting Fossil as the bag itself was in perfect condition still have couldn't source a replacement. I don't trust online places like Etsy to produce something as nice plus it's so hard to colour match.

Have kept the bag in its dust bag as you never know Grin it's absolutely beautiful and the leather has become so soft now

@Hskatkat that Pamela Kirkwood Beau bag is gorgeous!!

Hskatkat · 23/12/2024 18:51

@Elsbetka I love most of the bags she makes, great quality handmade in the UK by a small business.

If you like those half moon shaped bags then The White Company, Mint Velvet and All Saints all have some lovely ones which are quite big so you can get plenty in them. Some great colours and finishes too. All Saints also have a gorgeous silver one which is a bit smaller and a bit more edgy looking.

Another vote for Paula Kirkwood. I saw that bag from H&M and really liked the style and simplicity but it was so plasticky and lightweight. I recently purchased the Paula Kirkwood Beau bag which is similar in style and I really like it - comfortable, roomy and looks good. Join her mailing list -she sometimes does special offers. Not in the same price bracket as Mulberry etc (thankfully?!) but lovely quality and handmade in UK.

I am going in Jan to Edinburgh to make my own Harris tweed bag at the bag place. Do you not like those, they are stunning.

I’m going to do this in Feb. I like the idea of having something no one else has.
