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.

yours is pleather though. I think the OP was hoping for leather.

Edited

Thank you for all of the links. Lots of these are really nice.

I actually like this Michael Kors bag the most out of all the bags, however it still has a thin strap unfortunately.

I like it, but would rather black with silver rather than the gold. I love bags and have taken a liking to steve madden bags for every day use. There's a 60% sale on just now. Also amazon have some at good prices just now.

I've just been looking at similar in the Ollie & Nic sale, they come with 2 straps, a wide one & a thin one & cheaper, although look fairly similar quality wise

This is perfect. I have immediately bought one. Thank you!

allmymonkeys · 18/07/2025 21:14

I don't want to comment on the bag itself but if you don't really, really love it, keep looking. Your special bag is out there somewhere.

FluffykinsTheFerociousFeralFelineFury · 18/07/2025 21:47

I think any garment with a logo on it is tacky. Why would you want to be a walking advertisement?

whatsit84 · 18/07/2025 22:23

Not tacky, it’s not an offensive bag! Go for it if you will use it a lot.

Iamthemoom · 18/07/2025 18:04

Me too. The Katie Loxton one is much classier imho.

i prefer the design of this one too. But it’s made of plastic and the OP’s is leather so they’re not really comparable.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 18/07/2025 23:34

Look at Pom Pom London.

simsbustinoutmimi · 18/07/2025 17:38

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

Cheers for that 🤣

Gruffalo22 · 18/07/2025 23:43

Osprey and Aspinall have lots of these type of bag with wide strap. Both have good sales on currently. Oliver Bonas also good as others have said.

TrelawnyBastian · 18/07/2025 23:45

If you like it get it, doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks x

Finteq · 18/07/2025 23:49

I don't like the stuck on gold writing look.

That looks a bit tacky to me.

MumWifeOther · 19/07/2025 00:54

I don’t like personally. Obviously if you do, then get it. But I think you can get a similar, less tacky, version of this bag for cheaper

It’s dull and the opposite of tacky. It’ll do what it says on the tin, I imagine

Rivertrudge · 19/07/2025 04:59

Not "tacky" exactly, but I don’t like it. I dislike ostentatious in-your-face branding, as if the designer is the most important thing about an item.

WTDress · 19/07/2025 05:42

IHaveAlwaysLivedintheCastle · 18/07/2025 20:24

Me too. I don't like logos. The Marc Jacobs one is horrendous. Nice bag ruined by the awful strap.

Yep, I really love the Marc Jacobs in white but the strap just screams “look at me I can afford a Marc Jacobs bag”

henlake7 · 19/07/2025 06:29

Looks like a decent, everyday bag to me. I'm not a big fan of the writing on the strap though.
Shame you can't get a better look at it coz it looks like the writing might be on one side only....not a problem if you can flip the strap!

Theextraordinaryisintheordinary · 19/07/2025 06:33

It’s fine but maybe a tan or black would work better

nopiesleftinthisvehicle · 19/07/2025 06:35

TK MAXX has lots of those at the moment.
Probably not the same designer.

Pipsquiggle · 19/07/2025 06:50

@Italianqueen the branding on the thick strap really lets the 'look' of the bag down.

I prefer recessive or no branding.

Pom pom, Oliver bonas, etc

Purplecatshopaholic · 19/07/2025 06:50

I got one similar from Pom Pom London. You get straps with it, but I put a guitar strap on it - nice and thick and comfy.
