Handbag needed - limited budget

[bizzylizzy]

I need to buy a new black leather handbag, but only have a budget of up to �100. Any suggestions? I can't afford designer prices, but fancy something a bit more fashionable than M&S or New Look. ebay springs to mind, but you have to be careful you don't get ripped off. Any suggestions for brands, shops or reliable eBay sites would be gratefully received.

Tula or Julian McDonald or even Jasoper Conran, all in debenhams and also all 10 or 20% of this week. lots of choice.

I love the bags on this site:
http://www.vanilla-paris.co.uk/

and always said if i could afford �100 on a bag I would get one!

Some of them are very similar to Hermes bags as well!

What about TK Maxx if you have one near by? Or Debenhams?

River Island and Topshop do some great leather bags for under �100

a deparemnt store like debenhams or howells have the best choice as your budget is quite high

nine west have a lovely zipped tote this season at �60
radley tula hidesign coccinelle are all good makes
if you want to stretch another 10-30 quid check out francesco biasia bags at howells they are absoloutely stunning and look more expensive than they are, same goes for karen millen.

dune do birkin style bags at around �100

and as mentioned before tkmaxx is a good place if your willing to really look, i know they sell katerina lucchi bags (made in italy) at around a 100 and also micheal kors bags from his main line. ooo and they do guias aswell (well known itailian brand thats been going for years)

check out the aspinal of london seller on ebay they sell off all there seconds..for so little and the standards so high its not noticeable i bought there paris bag for �70 instead of 250.

if your lurred by an ebay designer bargin ask theese lovely ladies for help with its authenticity www.thebagforum.com

hope this helps

sorry about spelling its late
