Fabulous day time hand bag

[After800Years]

After a spectacularly shitty year I’m about to receive my work bonus and want to treat myself.

I’ve coveted a Mulberry bag for years and like the look of the Billie, however I’m open to ideas and I know S&B likes a handbag!

I’m after a day bag with the following criteria:

not too big and not too small
I’d like to be able to fit my kindle, sunglasses, phone and maybe a water bottle (water bottle not a deal breaker!)
Tan coloured
Cross body

I could spend up to £1.5K I think.

(Before I get the ‘oooh I could never spend that on a bag’ brigade, this is very very hard earned money, my bills are paid, holidays booked, etc etc. It’s a treat for me!)

Strathberry Mosaic Bag

Ooh this looks good!

Fits my criteria to a tee

This is way under budget but I think it's lovely so maybe if you have any change left over from the main purchase you could have one as a little extra

I have a strathberry and it’s beautiful. So well made.

Love this idea, a selection of handbags is always a plan 😂

Also the 4 way Songmont Luna. Polène do some lovely bags similar price point to Strathberry,

Have a look at Kate Spade. Well under budget but hardwearing. I’ve had a few bags from there and despite being thrown around a bit, they still look perfect. No marks, no rubbing etc.

I know someone else has mentioned Strathberry. They look lovely and hard wearing too.

I love Paula Kirkwood’s bags: https://pkirkwood.com/shop/category/bags/cross-body/ You got order a set with your budget!

I have the Strathberry Mosaic and love it. I always get loads of compliments when I use it. I'm lusting after the Strathberry Arkshell in tan now.

i love my Alexa

Another vote for Strathberry. I have 2 - a Pearl grey midi tote and an Osette in a neutral colour. I’d love a Mosaic next, @Housewife2010 what size is yours?

Hello
Mine is the regular Mosaic (not the Nano). It's in black with silver hardware and is so beautiful. I can fit everything in it that I need - even an umbrella.

I’m now thinking 2 strathberrys 😂

Message me if you want my referral code for 15% off your first purchase. Full disclosure that I'd get 15% off too - which would be very handy for my dream tan Arkshell. 👜
