I have £2k for a beautiful bag - which one, though?

I am fortunate enough to have been given £2k by a very dear relative and instructed to treat myself to a new handbag.

This will be a treasured item (because of the person I will always associate with it) and a massive, unprecedented splurge.

So . . . what do I get? I want beautiful quality rather than the usual brand names . . . and not a work bag, as I work from home. A small crossbody, probably. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I’d have no idea where to start but if someone made me buy a bag for £2k I’d go the pre loved route and hopefully have enough for two. I’d be worried about scams but is there some kind of verification service available?

A nice neutral colour that will go with anything. Good choice OP.

OP said she got 2K to spend on a luxury item. Can't see why killjoys are coming onto this thread. It's not even an AIBU thread.

OP… it’s just beautiful. May you and the bag have many special outings together.
