Just for fun (& inspiration as I’m looking for a new work bag!).

My last purchase was the ubiquitous Uniqlo bag in off white corduroy. Aside from a black leather phone bag from The White Company, this is my most used bag at the moment.

Anon2022anon that is bloody stunning.

My latest is Marc Jacobs small leather tote bag in burgundy, it's perfect and I love it. Works cross body, with smart or casual. Got it preloved but perfect condition, gets eyed up like a hot man Hmm

anon2022anon · 07/03/2025 04:54

@SSRI there are a couple available on Vinted new with tags for around £40- I think it's well worth it. It's a small bag, but I think it's a keeper!

A suede large shopper from the River Island sale. Plus a crossbody tan woven leather bag via Tk Maxx from a British Company. Both are being used currently on holiday.

Got two Charles and Keith bags in John Lewis at Christmas, loved all their stuff and couldn't decide on just one. Not UK based so had to seize the opportunity!

I was going to say my Mulberry Alexa which I've been lusting after forever and finally managed to save enough for... then I remembered I bought two Tesco bags for life last weekend.

I got a weathered/worn in Alexa off eBay - absolutely love it!!

My friends bought this for my birthday recently. It's gorgeous!

And I got the Uniqlo sling bag in the green.

I love bags!!

This coach bag on vinted, I've wanted it for years but as I rarely use a handbag I couldn't justify the price of it. Seen it on vinted a few weeks ago and couldn't pass it. I love it!
I've my eye on this Dr Martens heart leopard bag I might treat myself too when dh gets his work bonus this month 😄

I bought this one. I found it on Vinted but it was sold before I could buy it.
Amazon had something very similar, next day delivery so I have it now😀

@honeyfox which bags did you choose? I’ve not heard of that brand before

@JustJazzy love that! Someone else on this thread got a heart DM bag for Valentine’s Day - take that as a sign!

@happytobemrsg I got the Ellis bucket bag and the Trin panelled bag, both in plum, sorry can't link at the moment.

Thought I’d update this thread with my latest bag purchase! I have been on the look out for a new work bag. DH didn’t think I should spend too much on a bag I’ll use on a commute (squashed on trains in central London) & I reluctantly agreed.

I already have a small Le Pliage in black so I know it’s a great size for work, but I wanted to mix it up a bit so I went on a bit of a shopping spree on John Lewis. Bought another Le Pliage but this time in green (I think a PP has it), a black hobo & a pale yellow hobo. Picking them up on Friday & will report back 😬

@Izzabellasasperella That is a thing of beauty 😁

Flossy1985 · 09/03/2025 07:36

Mine was a personalised pink kors tote big enough for my laptop and other useless rubbish 😅 can’t use it till I’m back at work though my baby satchel has taken over for now!!

Isabelle70 · 09/03/2025 20:53

My last bag purchase was a Chanel WOC. Over the winter I like to use my LV Neonoe in Empreinte or monogram. I might look for one in a more summer print as I like that style of bag day to day.

I’m really tempted by a Strathbery mosaic nano. Wish they’d do more styles with silver hardware though.

Loving this thread, handbags are my kryptonite 😂

This was my most recent purchase, Mulberry small bayswater double zip tote; I bought it second hand from one of the Mulberry groups on Facebook.

@NormaLouiseBates I used to have that in red, loved it.

I use bags for a while and then sell them on so I don't have it any more. But it's a lovely mulberry style.

@NormaLouiseBates I have this, it's sat gathering dust, I should probably think about selling it!

What colour is yours? 😉 I'd love one in Oak or Oxblood 😍

Mines black, my small bayswater satchel is oak and I go for that most often as it goes with everything! I love the oxblood, I just can't decide which bag to get in it.

I wish I had bought the DeMellier Midi New York in taupe when I saw it a few years ago.
They don’t do that colour anymore though it is gorgeous 🙄and sadly I can’t afford to buy it now.

@menopausalfart that bag looks like it will age beautifully 😍

I’ve started looking into whether I can go custom for my work bag. Somewhere where I can specify colour, size, features like strap length etc. I really want to “buy well” this time. I still think there’s a place for the green Le Pliage linked to upthread though…

The medium reversible totes here can be customised - I had her make me one in navy that reverses to turquoise. Its really useful as I tend to wear navy or black so I can use the turquoise when I'm wearing black and the navy the rest of the time. The leather is really great quality and it is made in the UK which I always feel is a bonus https://www.anyasushko.com/collections/bags
