Any handbag queens around? I need some help finding the perfect bag

My very very kind and lovely friend, eandh on mn, has given me £25 to spend on myself, mustn't be spent on the kids! So, I have decided on a handbag I've looked around(on web and in the shops today) and just can't find the perfect bag. I want it to be perfect as she's so kindly buying it for me and I want to love it forever!!

I'm drawn to the purple bags i've seen. Definately don't want black. I want a daytime bag, not necessarily huge, but not tiny. I have two dc (age 5 and 2.6) so tend to have some kind of tutt with me when I go out!

Please help

Can you see anything you like on here ?

Give us some guidelines. Suede/leather/patent/colours/shoulder/messenger/shape etc

If you could find an extra £14 or wait until the sales this is lovely

guidelines, hmmmmm, well not patent. No idea what messenger is maybe not suede as I have dc!!

Colour, not black, maybe purple, or grey?

GM, saw that one on another bag thread, not sure about it

I'm a fussy mare

Mango quality seems to be ok in my experience. Maybe see if you can go into the Mango shop to take a closer look.

If I see anything else I'll post it.
