Handbag recommendations- medium-upmarket?

[purplepeony]

Need a new bag- Ri2K bag is almost worn out.

I have been looking at Osprey and Longchamps- want a slouchy type short shoudlder strap bag.
Also looked at Fossil but quality doesn't seem worth the £100+ price tag.

Anyone got any good recommendations- can shop in London and might go up to £200 for something nice. I only ever have 1 bag and use it for 2-3 years or more.

P.s Don't like Radley on the whole as they have flowery bits and nothing I like this season in the colour I want- brown/dark tan.

What about Oushka, I have a couple of their bags and the quality is lovely, sale on at the mo too Oushka

L.K bennet and Hobbs do nice bags for circa £200

does anyone else hate tassels ruins a prefectly good bag

I was very good to myself and bought one from the sweetheart collection from "lie down I think I love you" £180
tis fab

I really like this one I need outside pockets to avoid spending ages digging around for my phone/keys and nearly having a stroke in exasperation.

Thanks- Oushka is def a possibility- do they have shops/concessions or just web?

re.colours- if you had to choose just one, would it be black or brown?
I don't own much black but have 1 black coat, for winter/smart wear ( hardly ever) one charcoal winter coat and one brown velvet coat.

I have 2 Oushka bags - the Oakley in grey and the Phoenix in plum

very roomy, lots of compartments, shoulder straps a good length etc. I have 3 dcs, ranging in age from 4m to 3yrs, and I need to lug a lot of crap stuff around and find that these do the job admirably. There are even pockets left over for my keys, lipgloss, phone etc

If you are looking for something to go with black, brown and charcoal, I'd go for the plum. It's a really nice deep plum, brownish rather than purply and I find that it goes with everything.

they've got some lovely bags on the Outnet today here though they are going fast so you have to be quick.
