Ideas of where to look for a really nice leather handbag.....

[sammysam]

Any ideas where i should start? Nice soft leather, pref brown.

Red Direct have some lovely handbags.

Mine is from Jigsaw though have had it years and I buy new ones and go back to that one - is huge, soft and dark brown and countless people have asked where I got it from.

jigsaw don't have a webiste but here is Red Directs

John Lewis has a sale on Tula and Radley bags - 20% off. www.johnlewis.com

I have a lovely one from Russell and Bromley - their website is rubbish. It's like this but different. Worth checking out.

ooo-looks like my prob is going to be to find a brown one-the styles i like are all in black
i quite like the r&b one but was thinking a darker brown. Plus the leather looks on the firmer side?

I saw a radley bag i like but they don't have it on the JL website

Where else can i look?

I got my lovely Radley brown leather handbag from Debenhams. They have a massive selection!

i like karen millen bags

accessorize

principles

reiss

this is a gorgeous shade of brown

puppymonkey-do you have a link to your bag?

I think i'm quite fussy-i want it to be quite simple and casual looking, i'm not too keen on the metal on the karen millen, or the pockets on the accessorize, the principles one is more like it but without the tassels and maybe in leather not suede.

the laura ashley one looks nice but really rminds me of the bag my mum had when i was little-maybe the colour or shape-but when i picture it i can see her perm

Thank you for all the links though! Anymore for any more?

How about this? from M & S

I have this in black. It's butter-soft and gorgeous.

Sorry, I can't see the pix on Debenhams website to show you my brown one. Just go in the shop and you will see what I mean!
