Radley-type bags without the price (or dog) tag?

Any ideas? My sister likes the style of Radley bags, but isn't so much of a label queen (any more!) as to want the real deal - i'd like to get her a nice bag for her birthday that isn't quite as painfully priced. Cross-body, ideally. Thank you!

I got a brown cross body bag, v similar to a Radley, from John Lewis. I think it was about £35. Also, MIL got me a black similar from (I think) M & S.

Try Debenhams, too. They seem to have a good bag selection.

Thanks - any other ideas while I look at Monkey's?

Are ghd's still the best straighteners? broke mine this morn by standing on them

duvetheaven · 20/02/2009 12:19

sorry about that meant to start new thread but due to sleeping babt in other arm doing everything 1 handed!

mamadiva · 20/02/2009 12:28

Duvet - I believe people still class them as the best but I've never seen why TBH. I swear by Remington straighteners have done for years as does my mum. I had GHD's and they just seemed to do bugger all and you save a small fortune buying Remington.

TKMaxx have lovely bags sometimes, our local shoeshop dos gorgeous bags for about £25-£50 depending on budget it's just a small local business though but might be worth looking in some around your area if you have them?

Agree with mamdiva about the straightners. I had loads of cheap pairs and then got some GHD's and they were rubbish and lasted a couple of months.

I now have Remington ones and they are brilliant.

You can sometimes get Radley bags in TK Maxx for c60% off.

kettlechip · 20/02/2009 14:09

can you? Am off to TK Maxx now!

Try Debenhams for Radley style bags, they have them for about £25.

I do think Radley bags justify their price tag though, the quality of the leather is great. I don't have my dog tag on show or buy the patterned ones as I hate obvious labels on things.

Back to bags, have seen Radley type bags in Clarks.

Habbibu · 22/02/2009 16:32

Thanks, all. went for John Lewis in the end.
