Work bag needed ..

Girlies, After traipsing round the shops (Oxford Street) for hours and I can’t find a nice large bag to use for my commute

I find that my bags are too small to fit a medium sized book, purse, umbrella and a few other bits and bobs and the worst is the straps are so short that the bag slips down my arm, I want something I can carry on the shoulder without it slipping off to work and back

I am looking for a darkish tan or black.. not too much pattern, colours and no patches of other fabric, I hate suede, cloth patterns

I used to love Liz Claiborne type bags and quite like the Fiorelli designs but the quality of the leather is not so great on the Fiorelli and Liz Claiborne was soemthign I could find only in TX Maxx

Can anyone help.. I am in the London area so don’t mind travelling to get a good bag to get me through the commute..

oops can a mod add UK to the subject ..

Re: Work bag needed ..

You should go for a satchel style bag.

Re: Work bag needed ..

Can't find any :( I say a few on the Debenhams website so might have a look in but they normally look nicer in the pics than in real life

Re: Work bag needed ..

Selfridges usually have a good selection as do John Lewis

My personal favourite though is TK Maxx although it can depend on the branch you go to as to the range they offer.
TK Maxx website has a good range of bags usually
I have bought bags from TK Maxx which were mega reduced eg one I bought was from £389 to £18!! (CK black work handbag - similar ones were still in the CK store in Trafford Centre at full price!!)

Re: Work bag needed ..

That's where I buy too and get bargains but nothing in store these days.. I saw one I liked but I wasn't that nice for the £75 price tag

Re: Work bag needed ..

Louis Vuitton speedy perhaps?

Re: Work bag needed ..

Going to take a trip to TX Maxx and see if I can find anything

The TX Maxx website has nice bags but not sure if they will be as nice in real life

Re: Work bag needed ..

how about a classic Longchamps ? you have a variety of designs and colors and even different sizes with this one

Re: Work bag needed ..

Sorry I just read your initial post :smack: You asked for something that goes over the shoulder

Re: Work bag needed ..

Work handbag - has to Mulberry all the way. I think that’s the main reason I go to work :hehe:
