Oh, what age group are you aiming for then? If it's nice, don't let your prejudices put you off.

KristinaM - I saw that one in TK Maxx yesterday, I thought it looked a bit like a Radley bag with the dangling thing. I've recently discovered TK Maxx and I think it's a great place for handbags.

Clarke's do a 20% off on bags ATM, at least I think it's still running, I have a voucher for it somewhere.

dont worry cain - it just means that people want to wear all their lovely lightweight clothes but they cant coz its freezing

so they console themselves with buying bags in frivolous colours

i just bought this red leather bag in t k maxx. very cute and totally practical for somemone with three small children

Ah I see, this is why I have no clue, I am a stranger to style so have been trawling S&B recently for badly needed help.

I need educating in handbags I think...what is the difference between a 'spring handbag' and any other?

I bought a bag today, in per una - I could not believe I gave money to that clownish outfit. Anyway, it was much smaller than the ones you seem to favour.

It is this one but I am lolling because it looks bloody awful on the website. Very stoney and soft in rl.

So. That'll be a no.

Like the Oasis one a lot, really don't like the very blue one (Clarks?). And I have ishoos with Next generally, so don't like that one on principle.

Studs will look cool in the sun.

But I love that pale grey colour and would work well with lots of summery stuff - especially your extensive collection of white denim

Wallis one is the best imo, Next one is borderline winter, Oasis a borderline student, Clarkes one is from Clarkes.

I have a nice one from Red Direct that I got ages ago, but I can't find a link to it now. Was quite pricey though. Not It-Bag pricey, but £100 ish IIRC. Just as well I'm not fickle...
