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...

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

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.

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.

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?

The purple is back in stock!

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

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!

I like the blue one - would brighten any outfit
