I’ve had my eye on this bag for a while since the zip broke on my River Island cross body bag.

Basically I want a cross body bag with the wide strap as they are really comfy to wear.

I do like the colour/style, but I’m a bit unsure about the logo. I’ve never bought a bag with that price tag, always just River Island or Accessorize.

I think it is a bit, yes

simsbustinoutmimi · 18/07/2025 17:07

No, but I don’t like the strap very much. Would look nicer with a thin leather strap or a chain, but I get it’s meant to be a camera bag

the branding is discreet, don’t think it’s tacky at all.

Not massively. Pretty run of the mill, inoffensive and the kind of bag I see lots of middle aged mums wearing.

Sparkletastic · 18/07/2025 17:09

Yeah you could get a nicer one in that style tbh

Whitehorses67 · 18/07/2025 17:09

yep

Italianqueen · 18/07/2025 17:14

I don’t want a thin strap or a chain, I do have those types of bags, but I find the wide strap really comfy.

That’s fair. I don’t think it’s tacky at all.

Welcome any suggestions though please.

I always find S&B pretty good for sussing out if I really do want an item. I tend to either get really put off, or decide I’m going for it!

I reworded from mumsy to not cause offence lol.

I don't think it's tacky but I'm not a big fan of it, although I do have a few Kurt Geiger bags that I love.

If it's the wide strap that appeals, maybe look at Pom Pom London?

DiscoBob · 18/07/2025 17:23

I've got one just like that from Shein.

It's not tacky but it doesn't look really expensive. I guess I'm saying that as it's so similar to mine that cost a fiver! It's nice. Could get dirty easily though.

Om83 · 18/07/2025 17:23

Have you looked at Pom Pom London backs? Or Oliver bonas? Much nicer bags in my opinion, same style at same price point

UpMyself · 18/07/2025 17:33

I think it's fine. Not one I'd buy, but it seems a useful size.

DoAsYouWouldBeMumBy · 18/07/2025 17:33

I have one of these (different colour way)

I dont think it's tacky but I'm not a fan of the branding on the strap, would prefer a plain strap

DoAsYouWouldBeMumBy · 18/07/2025 17:34

Mine is the emerald green - it comes with two straps, one simple leather, one the comfy leopard one.

this really - it looks like 100s of other bags out there, I have one - but mines an Ollie & Nic

DryDay · 18/07/2025 17:36

I’ve got a couple of this type of bag and I find them too small.

EssentialDecluttering · 18/07/2025 17:37

It would be ok with a plain strap and no logo but as it is, yes a bit tacky (TBH it's mainly the strap). Plain straps are much nicer.

That’s nowhere near as nice. Looks so generic, can’t believe the price

DaisyChain505 · 18/07/2025 17:39

Not tacky but very causal. Wouldn’t wear it as a “fancy” bag.
