Your go to everyday inexpensive handbag?

[Obsesetits]

I’m in the market for a new handbag, I can no longer afford anything too luxurious but equally I’d like a nice, decent quality bag.

I can’t decide on what I want so show me yours! 🫶

I've a Coach Willow Tote bought in the sale years ago for £127. It just works and has a zip top. It's a bag I just go back to. Worth full price on a cpw basis.

I've bought nice bags from Oliver Bonas, either for work or to match a specific outfit.

Agree with the Radley comments. They are good value but we're bit stodgy a cpl years ago. Will have a look to see if they have edged up a bit.

Time for work and yo grab the tatty Coach

I use a backpack from Whistles, a leather one called ‘verity’. Mine is blue and from Vinted, I probably couldn’t stretch to a brand new one. It’s gorgeous though.

le Pliage range also for me -
L shoulder bag for home / weekends and xl for work /laptop/ travel

I have a belt bag from Forage (you can lengthen the straps and wear it across the body as well) where I carry my phone etc, then I have a nice leather bucket bag from Vinted which I love but has no internal pockets, so disastrous for small items and I use for lunch, diary, laptop etc.

I bought a couple of Osprey messenger style bags from TK Maxx 2 or 3 years ago. One of them is a bit like the Uniqlo bag - but looks a bit smarter. The other one is smaller and more rectangular. The straps are interchangeable. They've been very useful.

I was given this Radley bag for my birthday a couple of months ago and I love it! It’s so beautiful and functional I’m putting the oak colour on my list for Santa.

I prefer a cross-body bag for everyday use and I'm on the second of these. The first lasted several years. Three zipped compartments keep everything safe. No gimmicks, works summer and winter.

Yep, I rotate a tan and a navy White Stuff bag. They're indestructible.

I bought the Uniqlo shoulder bag last year specifically for a trip to London as I wanted something really light to use that I could cram loads of stuff in to use instead of my lovely leather Marc Jacob's bag. Well I haven't stopped using it, I love it. My dd has one too and I just bought one for my mum. Very plain but perfect.

Radley have some lovely shoulder bags, I recently bought one for myself for my birthday and I love it.
The only negative is the phone pocket doesn't fit my phone but it's not a deal breaker.

I'm so tempted by this. It's like the Uniqlo bag made smarter for work!

@RobinTheCavewoman you might want to take a look at this one. I was just thinking it's exactly like the uniqlo bag but for work.

My go to bags are usually Radley , Fossil or Osprey all from the outlet centre .

I have this in the animal print and love it, am toying with the tan as well, just looks so classic.

I like the fact that it's a similar styling to the Uniqlo bag which I love, but big enough for busier days. (Oh and as for that Radley a pp posted... head spins 😍Not sure I can justify the price tag, though!)

I use a tan leather crossbody bag by Rowallan from TK Maxx. Or a mini backpack from Decathlon.

Yoshi

I love Yoshi handbags. Real leather and excellent quality. Like Radley but half the cost.

I love Yoshi! Sadly I dont support leather but I do always keep an eye out for any on Vinted (Im less torn about second hand items!).

Im a Uniqlo fan as well. I think I have about 10 of these bags (combination of Uniqlo sales and the Primark dupes). Just the right size and I can match colours to outfits.

Here is an inexpensive bag. I love it.

I’m just browsing on their website and they do vegan bags as well!

Brakeburn do lovely handbags. I have several. Mostly from vinted costing about a tenner.

Thanks all! Some really bloomin’ lovely bags here.. I have a lot of browsing to do!

It came today and I love it!

Definitely Roka or Le Pliage.

Thanks for this thread OP! I love these bags suggested, some are out my price range at the moment but others are right up my street ♥️

Unusual items on Parfois 😅
