I keep coming back to the YSL LouLou toy suede in brown, but I’m open to suggestions providing it’s a cross body or day bag that will go with everything ☺️

Hermes Constance…but I have watched a lot of those Love Luxury videos recently….

A good knock off version and a holiday.

Unfortunately a lot more than 2k

This. Or a car! 😂

I’m with @ooscal and would get a cheap bag and a nice holiday. There’s no point in having a £2k bag when all my clothes to wear with such a bag come from M+S 😂

organisedadmin · 29/01/2026 17:13

Not suede, I’d go for something preloved.

samlovesdilys · 29/01/2026 17:16

@Mirrorxxxunfortunately very true!! But they are pretty…!!!
In reality I would go for a weekend somewhere like Florence or Istanbul and bring back a handbag!!!

ooscal · 29/01/2026 17:18

I meant no harm in my comment. Sometimes others have the means to splash out 2k on a cross body bag, and good luck to them! It's just that I personally wouldn't, but would do exactly as I said in my post above with a bonus sum of 2k. I'd actually think of going somewhere that sells very decent practically undetectable replicas (that bit might be illegal, but I'd try!)😊

I have the Small Loulou, bought before the redesign (and the price hikes!). I’m not a big fan of the new shape and I also don’t find myself using mine much.

I love my Toteme T-Lock Clutch. It has a detachable shoulder strap, goes with everything, looks super smart and is easy to find things in. It’s also significantly cheaper (£820).

Loewe Flamenco. The leather is so soft and beautiful, it comes in different sizes. I believe the medium is £2200.

Mirrorxxx · 29/01/2026 17:59

@user593 they lock might be my most used bag now. I love it

mcmuffin22 · 29/01/2026 18:10

I would like a Chloe balloon bag. I just like the look of it.

Newyearnewmewoooop · 29/01/2026 18:44

No chance of a holiday, young kids with special needs make it much harder. I don’t even go anywhere to use a nice bag really, I just love them 😆

I still prefer the YSL over all the suggestions so far, I’m not averse to preloved though

Defo preloved you will get more for your money

ConstantlyFuriosa · 29/01/2026 19:58

Balenciaga city bag although the large size is a little more expensive than that. Wanted one for years but I don’t have 2k to drop on a handbag, alas! The Free People Emerson is a reasonable dupe so I’ll stick with that.

Evergreen21 · 29/01/2026 20:00

You will be able to find one pre loved should you want to and have change left over. If it's the bag you want go for it.

I have a ysl loulou in a medium size and I love it.

If I had a spare £2k I'd go for the Loewe puzzle bag or put it towards the celine 16.

puffyeyewink · 29/01/2026 20:10

I do like the YSL LouLou but when I was in Spain last year soooo many knock off copies being sold it put me off getting a genuine one as I think most people would look at it and assume it was 20 quid from a bloke walking across the beach!

puffyeyewink · 29/01/2026 20:20

Ralph Lauren do some lovely bags where the branding is less obvious. I like this one personally. I have a similar one from a few years ago but the buckle is round brass on mine.
