Yes good point. Guess I'll just have to take extra care with her.

Hello! I need some help. I am in a super frumpy rut and I don't know where to start. Basically I need a preferably cross body day bag - big enough for phone, keys, bits and pieces and I don't know where to start.
I own one handbag which isn't a changing bag - it's a Michael kors cross body camera bag in black with gold chain. Very simple and does me for most evening events.
But I'm sick of it. Sick of it being my only option!
You all seem to have a lot more knowledge then me - what would be a good option for a nice leather day bag, preferably tan or similar colour that's very wearable with lots of different outfits?
Plus on a budget
if any brands spring to mind can you help a girl out?? I just don't know what's fashionable any more

They have 20% off at the moment.Basket experts (and specifically @ATV2021): do I need to do anything to protect my new baby? I do really look after things but I also use my nice things too and I want to keep her pristine.
I think with the basket if you plan to use it for travel I think you need to use it as a carry on.
Don’t let anyone touch her unless they have washed their hands with soap & water. Hand sanitizer leaves residue.
What is your budget? Be able to suggest bits most suitedHello! I need some help. I am in a super frumpy rut and I don't know where to start. Basically I need a preferably cross body day bag - big enough for phone, keys, bits and pieces and I don't know where to start.

(also TK Maxx Gold Label is always decent for some bargain brands)i have two coach shay crossbody bags in saddle (rich brown) and chalk (off white) and my mum has basically taken joint custody! looks like coach have stopped selling it on their site which is a shame as it's a perfect bag imo - fits in phone, portable charger, 500ml water, wide purse, extra tote and i could easily squeeze more in. it has a top handle which can sit on the shoulder and comes with a removable / adjustable long strap. the pebble leather is so soft and great quality, i did spray mine with liquiproof protector that was recommended here.Hello!

i got my brown one from fashionette and had a great experience, but it looks like they only have the taupe colour available now. maybe a coach outlet might have some?
linked my original post with some pics!
Designer Items, best and worst purchases #2
oh that’s a shame! I’m sorry that you’ve had problems in the past. I went over by buying bags. Chanel seems to release a new collection every 6 weeks so it’s practically impossible to plan your purchases. I've had 3 bags since May but they’ve been from 3 different collections. The ordinary rule...

Does anyone obsess over trying to get a bag down in price once they’ve got their eye on it lol?
The Burberry bag I’m getting is £1,050. I’ve spent hours relentlessly picking online retailers and then searching for codes and got it down to £895 on 24S.

Ladies. I keep admiring this bag on my walk to the office. It would be great for the autumn, please give me a reason why I shouldn’t buy it otherwise I’m afraid I might fall into selfridges on my way home

love the chain, but will the lambskin hold up to regular use?
I find Radley is very budget friendly and good quality leather. I have a camera bag from there that has been well used and honestly it is still in very good condition. Also Aspinal is good quality leather.Hello! I need some help. I am in a super frumpy rut and I don't know where to start.

Otherwise if your budget can stretch a bit look at See by Chloe or Marc Jacobs.
Alternatively if your budget can stretch a lot look at the LV bubblegram bags. I have a blue one and it’s perfect for a phone, keys, cards and money. It’s smaller than a camera bag though
In all honesty, and this is no dig at anyone who has one and loves it, but with the very odd exception (ie Aspinall), personally I’ve found the quality of lots of lower end designer bags to be pretty poor and not worth the money. Not sure what your budget is but I’d be inclined to buy either higher end but pre-loved or go for a non-branded but great quality, beautifully designed one from somewhere like John Lewis.Hello!

Beautiful colour - is it lamb skin?
.
I wouldn’t use it for work as it wouldn’t hold laptop and too many bags makes me feel like a bag lady
so I would only use it once a week max. I am still using an alma BB for every day casual use, but at the same time this bag isn’t dressy enough for an evening bag for me. Maybe I should go and touch it and see how durable it feels - but I know once I’m in there it would be even more tempting, I want to buy some skims and as they are next to eachother in the store I’ve even avoided that
Can someone help me out… is designer abroad always necessarily cheaper? I’m going away in a month and wanting a few pieces from dior, chanel and Hermes but not sure whether to wait until I go away and shop there! I’m stuck
It really depends on fx rates and whether you can claim tax back at airport (ive limited knowledge so those with a bit more feel free to correct me).
You can claim tax back depending on where you go. Any EU country you’ll be able to claim the tax back from
Just going on recent experience, buying in the EU and flying back to the UK was cheaper for the bag I bought. The bag was £675 in the UK and my OH said it worked out about £550 buying abroad.
Thanks guys! I think I’ll save my shopping for on holiday then 
Evening ladies - just received an email from Hunza, with a discount code, so I thought I'd share - code MISSEDYOU20 for £20 off swimwear

8 days later and she arrived. I am in love.
The bag seems very delicate.

Oh lush! They're such beautiful bags aren't they? I am using mine carefully as it's wicker/straw/whatever the hell it's made from but it does feel strangely robust to me.
I was worried the size could be too small. The size is perfect. The bag is dreamy.
Yes I think we have to be careful. I don’t think you can put heavy items like laptop in the bag.
Samorga doesn’t have an insert for this bag so I will go to Space NK to purchase a travel organiser.
When we travel I plan to use it as a carry on as I am worried it will lose its shape if I put in a suitcase.
Enjoy her. Thanks for sharing otherwise I would have never purchased her.
