Leather crossbody bag - but cool :)

[mealdeal20]

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

Have you looked at Polene? Beautiful bags and really good quality.

I have the mini Bayswater that I wear as a crossbody and the YSL Niki, but that is spenny,

I have this and I wear it cross body... I have had so many compliments on it!

I'm same age as you but I'm a school mum! 😂

I love my Bottega intrecciato Concert or there is the Candy Loop https://www.bottegaveneta.com/en-gb/search?cgid=women-bags&srule=Price+ascending&prefn1=akeneo_markDownInto&prefn2=akeneo_superMicroCategoryFrontBv&prefn3=countryInclusion&prefv1=no_season&prefv2=Crossbody+bags&prefv3=GB&plp=true

I thought the same!

I second/third Paula Kirkwood. Fabulous quality bags made in the UK.

i dont know if anyone else has suggested cult Gaia yet but I love their bags

I’ve just got one of these and am very impressed with the quality.

I like the look of this one too - slightly less garish!

(what going on with the styling on the linden is enough site? Why are her pants on over her leggings?! )

I love Dooney and Bourke purses. ILoveDooney.com is running some really great sales. I order all of my purses from there and am pleased with their quality.

Where is this please?

Company is based in Edinburgh. Sounded fun. Me and my niece are going in the new year.

Thank you

I bought a vintage 'small' Mulberry Oak Anthony for Christmas from Ebay.. haven't used it yet though as a Christmas present.

I have a crossbody from accessorize
comes in multiple colours
2 compartments both zip up which makes me feel more secure
can fit 2 phones in back (work and own) my cars/coin purse in the front
lipsil, car and front door key and a couple of other odd bits like ramps when required.

Not a fan of big bags here as tend to find you throw a load of stuff you don’t need in and then find it frustrating to find anything.
comes in cream, black or khaki or there is a two tone one (see photo) £22 can’t go wrong and if you get bored you can buy a new strap

I haven't read the thread as I know I'd end up buying myself a new bag. However my favourite every day crossbody bag I own is my ollie and nic doyle bag. Small but spacious! Generally cheap but feels significantly more expensive.

I have a Lulu Guinness and love it. Similar to this but teal.

I like Johnny Loves Rosie bags and there's loads of crossbody options including sling bags.

They've switched to leather now and the quality seems good.

Have two bags from p here, can vouch for quality as well as customer service. Way better quality and materials than Mulberry. I’m really taken aback just how reasonable the price is for what you get. The leather just oozes quiet luxury. I must get over my handbag fixation!

Holland Cooper maybe?

We do!
If you don’t agree go and hover on a different thread. 😉

You can wear almost anything and make it your own, depending on how you put it together, the possibilities are virtually endless.

I used to really dislike puffa jackets, but all of a sudden love them and want a huge one, because I met an incredibly stylish woman who was able to carry it off with panache.

Being limited by demographics is silly. It’s just about knowing what suits you, and that may not be expected for the demographic. Enjoy being your natural unique self and wear what you like.

Zadig and Voltaire have a bit of a edge they do a half moon type bag but it's a clip on strap so doesn't work as well as the Acne type ones. Their Rock clutches have a cross body strap and come in loads of options

I went to the new Polene store in London a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with this. Talked myself out of buying it and now regret it. Lovely shape and comes in lots of colours

@hattie43 This was asked is style and beauty , where folk tend to be nice to each other, not snarky.
