I know that Mumsnet hates this word, but the White Stuff one is frumpy.

To me they are totally apples and oranges both perfectly nice but totally different. Definitely prefer AS one though.

Oooohhhh, like the Osprey bag that's been added by someone

Thanks 😊

Really like the All Saints bag. Wish I hadn’t seen it coz I want it now!

They're both okay, but they're both kind of boring

AllSaints, but I’m a bit obsessed with their stuff!

I have the WS one and love it. I am tall, so don’t think the shape looks odd at all. And the long strap is a big plus for me.

It’s lasting well but I would definitely get an identical replacement when necessary.

At 5’2” the white stuff one would be too long for me.
And the all saints one looks significantly more expensive (more than the actual price difference imo)

The osprey one linked is lovely. Buy it instead

I've got the WS one, had it for several years. It's a workhorse and will not die, I fear I'll be using it for work on the day I retire. I can get masses in it and it never seems to look battered. I've got a freakishly long body so the strap issue is, for me, a non issue.

The white stuff one is frumpy. Deffo go for the all saints one

I would touch & feel both in RL and suspect that the All Saints one will be much better quality/softer leather etc. It won't be a hard choice if you had both in front of you!

Defo All Saints, but both are a copy of the Khaite bag really: www.net-a-porter.com/en-gb/shop/product/khaite/bags/cross-body/augustina-small-textured-leather-shoulder-bag/1647597351092216

The white stuff one is a completely different shape to that? Half of all things are a copy of a more expensive version somewhere down theine, I'm not fussed about that.

I'm too indecisive. I think I fell for the All Saints one when my equivalent died recently, but was trying to be sensible and find a cheaper something. Will sleep on it for the weekend.

Thanks for the opinions all.

Neither for me. The design of the first is deep rather than wide so you’ll be rummaging around in its depths. The strap is narrow. I couldn’t be doing with the faffing about searching.

For the price, there are nicer options of the second. The Cos Swing or the dupe by Donain on Amazon, both with a wider strap

But it’s all to taste. I like the squishiness of the second design and the practicality.

All Saints looks much more elegant.

This absolutely.

Probably the second one although not a huge fan of either. Could probably spend a quarter of the first to get similar quality for a fraction if you're not that fussed.

Go to TK max & choose from a huge selection of bags.

From the links j prefer the first one. I don't like the shape of the second one

I tried to Macc yesterday actually, ours is pretty rubbish sadly

I like the Osprey one with the choice of straps. You could get the White Stuff one plus Uniqlo’s cross body bag

I love the shape of the all saints bag but I’m a crossbody bag fan.

i love a bag, have quite a few (don’t tell the husband!) and I’d say 95% are cross body bags.

I always prefer a crossbow bag but that's obviously personal.I think you can get more in the cross body one so it depends on what you want it for...

That White Stuff one not as nice as it looks in the pic IRL-

The All Saints One clearly a much much nicer bag but it's not like for like-
Very different bags both in price and in shape so hard to compare.

I'd have the All Saints one
