Black patent leather over the shouldre handbag - find me one I'll love.

Most of the ones I've seen are huge. I'd like one that fits compfortably over the shoulder, has a nice shape and is a decent size.

Anyone seen anything that might fit the bill?

anyone?

I was in Russell and Bromley and they showed me a bag that matches your description.

I had a look at the website but I have to say, it defeated me. so no link. Sorry.

will have a look altho R & B will prob be pricey

I saw some new Paul's Boutique bags yesterday in Top Shop and Selfridges. All patent leather, three colour choices - black, bright cerise pink or orange. Two sizes, meduim/large or neat/small. They are in the style of Louis Vuiton's Alma bag or Hermes' Bolide. Very nice and shiny and smooth. Two options to carry - hand-held and a detachable shoulder strap. Prices are £45 and £65 I think (not 100% sure) They have a dangly removable bag charm. With the charm, they look very youthful but a surprisingly chic bag without the charm. Not on the PB website unfortunately.
