Can you help? I would like a bag for everyday that is stylish and cross body style is that so impossible?

Can you help me?

I mostly wear dark brown boots and jeans and I don't have a good medium sized bag. Something X body is important and Stylish equally important - Oh and not too expensive - under £100.

The best I've seen is a relatively plain slouch bag with chain £63.60 at River Island but tbh not really sure about the chain part of it..

look on the reviews (8th Feb) and see who bought one of those Boden silver satchels

ProfessorCalculus · 10/02/2009 22:12

What about these tote bags? I have a very similar one.

Radley, I liked it, had one which has now broken but it was practical, cross body and big enoguh.

Thank you cherryblossoms

Prada does nylon bags with webbing shoulder straps in lots of styles/colours. They are, crucially, weightless unlike the leather satchel types which are heavy before you even put your Mummy paraphernalia in them.
