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 have one similar but a thinner handle/shoulder thing (thing- my brain has stopped working!).

I personally don't like the shoulder strap (STRAP!! that's the thing!), but my opinion doesn't matter, all that matters is what you want and like.

As long as you can get your phone, keys and whatever else in it then buy it.

If it's the price, then take a screenshot of the bag and use Google lens (android. I'm assuming iPhone has similar?) to find something similar to that bag and within your budget 😊

There is this from Amazon?

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

Oh no.....I'm going to end up buying more bags from this thread 😂

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.

@Italianqueen if you like it and have the money, then I think you should get it. Never mind what we all think.

Another recommendation for Pom Pom London, I have a couple from here and have been very pleased with them.

I like it, may get it myself,

AnonSugar · 30/07/2025 19:46

I have a similar bag from PomPom London.

The KG bag is fine but the branded strap is a bit tacky.

Peachee · 01/08/2025 23:31

I think it’s a bit chavvy - I think it’s the colour..

Icecreamhelps · 01/08/2025 23:33

It's a bag. Wear it if you like it.

LavnderBlue · 02/08/2025 08:13

Looks fine if it goes with what you're wearing and where.

ForCharlieDog · 02/08/2025 18:29

I think the bag is lovely not my taste but each to their own

First of all I'm very angry at this thread because I don't need any more bags. But I have never seen Pom Pom London before and I was in the market for a new crossbody. Does anyone have the city plus bag? It looks really big but also I'm 5'9 and plus-sized myself so I'm thinking I could carry it off. My current bag is a Lululemon in a similar style but it's just a teensy bit too small.

Yes, I have the city plus and TBH it's the one I use the least and much prefer the Mayfair plus. I am 5ft 10.

GentleJadeOP · 03/08/2025 22:41

It’s really nice - but I’m middle aged so my opinion may not help!

Thanks! It does look really big on the website.

I searched Mayfair on the US site and it brings me to original and original plus. I think they're the same as the Mayfair, but I messaged the company to check.

Have a look on YouTube ,there's a review of the differences between the sizes which I found helpful.

NavyTurtle · 07/08/2025 16:40

I personally hate anything with a brand name showing. It screams tacky. Understated good quality with no name is so much classier.

Wedding guest outfit advice please.
We have been invited to the wedding of a friend’s son - afternoon into the evening. The bride is in the music industry and the dress code is ‘gowns’.
I’m 1.60m short and am a size 16. Aged 65. I have blond hair. I don’t like my arms. I dread looking frumpy! I don’t think black is suitable - I prefer corals, reds, florals. What should I be looking for?

WineBeforeWhine · 28/02/2026 09:05

These bags are no longer in fashion. Everyone had/has one. I’m sure there’s something better out there.

WineBeforeWhine · 28/02/2026 09:08

Tbh who needs a bag these days? Everything is on phone, credit cards etc, I rarely use a bag.

TheChosenTwo · 28/02/2026 09:08

I think the visible branding makes it look cheap (and actually looking at the sale price it actually is!). I was bought a kate spade camera bag years ago, the shape and size of the bag was perfect but it had a thin black leather strap and a tiny spade symbol on one side which I kept facing my body 😂
Saying that, I’m generally quite anti-bag and other than for work and going through the airport (where I take one of those little Uniqlo half moon ones) I never carry one so my opinion really counts for nothing!

LunaTheCat · 28/02/2026 09:19

I think it’s a bit dated and ubiquitous.
I would go something without logos.
