now then, bags please, or rather names of designers that fall between high st and couture...

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...

[doesmybumlookbiginthis]

SOPHABLE - I agree with GossipMonger and Fimbo - the blue and red bags are nasty, and don't look expensive - sorry! I do have a Tabitha bag though, a fab black one which always gets lots of comments whenever I use it.
Have you tried Charlotte Vasberg? I got one in the Selfridges sale once for £100, reduced from about £380!

[Fimbo]

Ooh off the to shops in a bit, will have a look, thanks for that, Laurie.

[LaurieFairyCake]

The purple is back in stock!

[LaurieFairyCake]

I'm looking at my receipt - I got £9.60 off (think it was 15%) plus free p&p (was in this months Red Magazine) so it ended up being £38.40 (not £35, bad LFC ). Unfortunately I've chucked out the bit of paper that came with my magazine which had the code on so I don't have it. However the mag is still on sale so you could look at the code in the shop through the wrapping?

Damn it, why isn't it on the receipt?

[Fimbo]

Laurie do you still have the discount code . Purple does seem to be in the colour for winter clothing this year.

GM - that is a much better Tabitha bag and good price too.

[OhBling]

Tula.
You get them at John Lewis or House of Fraser and they are great. Leather ones are in the £100 - £150 range and non leather a bit cheaper.

I have the green



it came out in green last year and I have waited a whole year for it to come back into stock as I don't think green is as fash this year - now it's the purple one that is out of stock.

The Lloyd Baker Evie bag in tan for £99 is nice too

[GossipMonger]

bargain!

[GossipMonger]

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!!

[Fimbo]

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

[LaurieFairyCake]

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.

[Fimbo]

The Barbour is fantastic.

[Heathcliffscathy]

but you LIKE that barbour bag....

[Fimbo]

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

[Fimbo]

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

[Heathcliffscathy]

what's minging about it!!!

[Fimbo]

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

[Heathcliffscathy]

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...

[FlightHattendant]

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.

[Fimbo]

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

[Fimbo]

[FlightHattendant]

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

[FlightHattendant]

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