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! 🫶

Same. I love mine and won't go back!

Nearly all my bags (yes, I've got too many - and not enough) are Osprey. This is mainly because they're so resilient, they never get worn out enough to retire them!

There are several Ospreys: the firm of leather goods fame is Osprey London. They're around £150 upwards full price, but always have outlet offers and I've got very good ones from Vinted and Ebay for £40 - £80.

I have a leather crossbody from Fat Face it's over 8 years old but I've not found anything i like to replace it. And their bags have gone really frumpy and boring since Next took them over.

I also use a large leather tote.

Fat face tote is a solid workhorse of a bag

My daughter put me onto Baggu - a larger stronger version of Uniqlo - I can fit more in

My go to everyday bag is a Uniqlo cross body bag, I’ve got it in 3 different colours and through it in the washing machine when it needs washed.

its amazing how much you can fit in it.

Radley every time

Mine were about £30ish if I remember right, new from TK Maxx, which usually has a lot of their stuff. However, they are mostly not leather, but with a trim that might be leather.

TK Maxx is my go to for decent quality, affordable bags. If you have the patience to rummage there are some amazing bargains and there are always a fair few in leather that don't cost much more than the synthetics e.g. Rowallen. I like seeing how a bag looks and feels before buying.

I got the Uniqlo bag linked. It’s nothing special a very strange brown colour and it just looks cheap and that it will need washing every five minutes. I guess you get what you pay for😀

Oh my god, can you imagine how long it must take to put them on!!

I have the black quilted one, at least I think it’s from there

Also just bought a mini ruck sack in the flower pattern online from Mai Tui , rather like it.

I’ve been using one from mint velvet beige suede with tassels about £190 if I recall and it is consistently admired. Looks great with everything I love it. But I’m not that bothered about handbag brands.

Loewe Puzzle 'homage' (£2,175 cheaper) jazzed up with a different strap and bag charms.

Oh I’ve just bought that for my friends 40th thanks. How’s the quality?

This is a bit like mine, though mine are in navy with brown and gilt accents (that go very well with my favourite wintre jacket)

I've got about 20 Radley bags and now I want that one!!

For an everyday bag, I love Kipling bags. Lots of compartments, plenty of room and they look stylish.

Me too but it didn’t look good enough for some of the places I go to so bought what can only be described as the John Lewis leather dupe in the sale for £39. It’s wonderful. Fits everything and still small and light.

Uniqlo bag as well.
Which is quite an improvement from my collection of totebags.

I have a few bags but always seem to end up using the same two day to day - a Fossil cross-body key per one (wore out my first one after 10 years, got new one on Vinted) and a round Roka cross-body that is the perfect size for me.
