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.

That next bag is beautiful!

Honestly darlings I have a £500 coach bag, a £495 mulberry bag but my favourite bag of all is my £48 river island one.

Sometimes the cheaper ones are the gems!

This is lovely. Is the metal on the strap silver or gold? I’m struggling to see and that makes a difference for me. Thanks!

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

Just bought it! Have been looking for a new bag for ages.
Thanks

Good question, I’m guessing gold, but you could message them on chat. Surprisingly nothing in the description.

@Baconking That is a lovely bag. I'm now tempted to buy one myself. I like the Taupe, but worried it will stain easily.

LadyGAgain · 05/11/2025 13:22

Thanks @AlexaBeQuiet- I’m glad it’s not just me who can’t make it out! I shall do as you suggested!

On my wish list

NP - I’ve got 3 x Lottie Bags in Navy, Black and Taupe. The taupe has silver chain whereas the black and navy have gold chain. Also a white Sunrise / Sunset and the chain is gold on that one. So who knows?

Have you tried calling Mulberry outlet shops - Shepton Mallet or one of the ones on the outlet parks like Cheshire oaks or Bicester. They may have the one you’re after…without having to wait for a sale.

The more you spend, the more the perceived niceness of the bag increases. I'd have thought £800 is just on the cusp of true niceness, but say £3000 would start to elevate the bag to biblical niceness.

Have a look at Fossil, they have a few shapes and colours. I bought a cross body from there a couple of years ago, still looks like new, good quality leather and zip etc, no horrible slogans or dangly metal bits. I've been really pleased with it. I think it was £100 to £150 ish.

Thanks all I have ordered the Clovelly pouch from mulberry. I just fell in love with it 😍

Lovely bag op!

I too have a Mulberry bag, and Aspinal bag, Prada... But will definitely be asking for one of the Next bags for Christmas! I use my Uniqlo bag to death and could do with something a bit more er, leather.

https://www.strathberry.com/products/mosaic-nano-oxblood I've been eyeing up this one for a while now, im going to treat myself for christmas.

That’s gorgeous, I love Strathberry and have been also eyeing up the Mosaic. Just wish they did more bags with silver hardware.

CaJaGGMoo · 11/11/2025 17:28

Buy a new Anthony!
I had an older one then purchased a newer one a few years ago as I loved the style and brand.

MrsWhites · 11/11/2025 17:32

I have a mulberry amberley in Oxblood which I love but my most used across body is my coach tabby, I’ve got it in black with gold hard wear and I use it most days.

I’ve also got a couple of lovely across body bags from Kate spade.

Oh wow I love this. Has anyone seen a cheaper version? Thanks
