I have a navy mulberry Anthony bag and I love it but it’s getting old. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions? Budget up to 800. I want simple classy kind of style? Sorry if I posted in the wrong place. Posting here for traffic.

If she's willing to spend £800, she won't want a £38 bag from next!

OP, ask this to be moved to style and beauty.

This one looks good. What do you need to fit in it for size?

Love this bag! Thanks

Hmmm - maybe it's not about money. I just thought that was a nice bag/colour 🙂

What is your suggestion?

I've seen the new burgundy ones in Mulberry and they are absolutely gorgeous. Also have a look at Strathberry & Aspinall of London

Why not. That's a really nice bag.

This is probably too casual for what you want but it's beautiful

I've got a Strathberry Mosaic. Absolutely love it.

Lucelady · 03/11/2025 20:18

I collect Mulberry but have five Aspinal bags now

Shortbread49 · 03/11/2025 20:20

depends If you want leather but if not look at Roka

OP I have my eye on the mulberry Mini Alexa for Christmas. A bit more than £800, but should have a bit off in Black Friday

Sarkyandcynical · 03/11/2025 20:35

The mini Alexa is great - looks small and neat but holds loads and has a secure fastening.

I was going to recommend a nice £18 one I saw in Sainsbury’s, but I’m guessing that won’t cut the mustard 😂

Not always. I'm happy to spend a similar budget to the OP on bags that steal my heart, but I also love a simple leather Zatchel as a basic crossbody. Handmade to order, and around £60, I always have a soft spot for them.

Lucelady · 04/11/2025 08:42

I have a Radley too. £200? It takes a large purse. Great long strap.
The Aspinal bags are very roomy and are great as grab bags too.
My last Mulberry Bayswater. has a micro fibre lining which I don't like.

Possibly get the Anthony bag in black cherry? I like Kurt geiger and have different colours in the bags that suit my needs.
