Help me find a new handbag

[Dobbysdad]

I'm looking for a smart, structured leather handbag. I like the Mulberry bayswater but prefer crossbody that doesn't look like the strap is just an "add on". I also like the Chelsea bag from totesluxe. I'm plus size so any cross body would need to be fairly long. I've had a fossil Rachel satchel in the past which I loved for a long time but I feel like I want something a bit smarter now. (Although at the same time if I can use it for everyday not just work that would be a bonus)

Budget is probably about £300

Try Kate Spade?

I've got a Flap Over Cross body . It also has a smaller strap to use as a shoulder bag.

It's £350 at the moment but I bought one in the sale earlier this year for half price. Some colours may still be on offer.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have a look!

do you like this one? Over budget but might find it second hand somewhere. If you like this style I’ll keep looking for similar at better price point, or let me know if you’d prefer something different!

not sure of Radley too dated now but they have great leather crossbody bags….

Thank you, not really my style, I prefer more simple I think. I'm also in that phase where I've been so used to carrying everything with me, kids water bottles, sun cream etc. Youngest is 6 so I probably do still need something that I can carry kids bits in too.

Oooh this is closer to what I'm looking for I think

Thanks, I'll have a look. I used to love Radley but feel they are a bit dated. I'll have a look though!

Kate Spade crossbody.

I bought that in the sale (it was in dark green) but I returned it.

It's a lovely bag and I wanted it, but it was too small to take phone, glasses, make up bag, purse, and the few odds and ends you need to a day out.

This is really useful thank you.
I'm thinking the Eliza bag by LRM
