like tabitha, which i've just discovered.

i'm looking for a gorgeous bag around the 100-150 mark, and want something special...

i like the tabitha quinny in red.

if i had the money i'd go balenciaga but helas...

Karen Millen's bags are nice. A big waggy sometimes, but often v nice.

thanks bolt...anymore?

Fossil handbags and watches are gorgeous.

Do you have a Russell & Bromley shoe store near you?

Their bags are pretty good sometimes.

Anya Hindmarch sale?

I like this Barbour bag.

Also I have a chocolate brown leather bag by Bolla. Large for every day use.

Luella bags are fabbo if you have an outlet store near you?

Do you want an evening bag or an everyday one?

Have you tried this website
They have fashion bags that are reasonably priced and also bags from Blondie mania and Kesslord - french company. All bags look fabby

T K Maxx are selling bags online now. Always worth a rummage through.

TKMaxx sometimes have good stuff...got a nice DiBiasio there a while back. But tis luck really.

Ooh Fimbo, spooky!!! I had this thread open for ages before posting on it, so your post wasn't there. weirdy music about now

I got my Frye boots in there last year for £70, they are £180 everywhere else.

Oh don't tell me that. I can't LET myself into the shoe department, the bags bit is hard enough. Mind you they never have 8s in ours.

so it's between a tabitha quinny in red and a kessler blue one do you think i can use the blue one as an over shoulder bag?

that's so far...

Sorry but the blue one is minging and no you couldn't use it as an over the shoulder bag.

what's minging about it!!!

I don't like the metal work at the sides, nor the colour. It doesn't look the money, it looks like something cheap from a market stall

Not keen on the circly things on the Tabitha one either, but it is 100% better than the blue and looks the part.

but you LIKE that barbour bag....

The Barbour is fantastic.

The ones on red direct are lovely. I got the Lloyd Baker Hobo bag for £35.00 with discount last week. It's all leather and is a nice big bag and for a change fits neatly on the shoulder - I am so sick of bags that fall off the shoulder.

They do it in purple and tan too. Quite fancy some of the other, more expensive bags on there too.

Oh yum Laurie, that is a nice bag. The green is lovely.

The Barbour is lovely.

the red one is OK

The blue one is vile and looks like it came from Dorothy Perkins!

If I was spending £150 on a bag I would want it to look like I had spent £150 on a bag!!

bargain!
