Lol @ duckman .. however they are classic. This is the one I quite fancy, every day bag that will never go out of fashion.

No,ouch as in she used to keep baby bottles,bits of rusks,FULL nappy bags in hers!

So back to your original question, have you found somewhere nearby that sells cheap Radley bags, which model does she want?

Not cheap,but there is a shop locally that sells them,I will check debenhams in Dundee tomorrow.It is the Alchester in brown she wants.

Oh well good luck!

duckman – sorry have only just got back to this thread, I've been busy making err handbags.

I'll mail you later tonight, no time now.Probably too late by the looks of the posts above.

Edit : our bags are mainly fabric based (not leather), for exampel, linens for everyday use, some with lace, so quite pretty. We'll eventually be making the colours to order. We've only been going 3 weeks so early days yet. We'll be sorting out a website and photos in the next month or so.

If you can stretch to major browny points get the cheapest Mulberry. It's the small Antony bag. Got that for my lass and she loves it. Has used it every day since she got it. And it get's better as it wears in.

BillyBull that's the one I want! keep hoping they'll have it reduced in Bicester Outlet village and I can justify buying one but alas no luck so far! I shall keep looking.

It's one of the bags they have every season so they don't come up in the factory stores much. If they do it's usually to use up runs of leather and they don't have front pocket in most cases.

Billy interesting I never knew that about the pocket! Maybe I'll just treat myself at my 31st birthday!!

I buy a different Radley bag for the Mrs each year
top bags and the pures too so the Mrs says

eh, I don't understand handbags – you either have to carry them around at your side (may as well have a carrier bag) or try put them over your shoulder and have the strap sliding down all the time..

shoulder/messenger bags = awesome
handbags = pointless

Miaowing I agree, ALL of my bags are messenger style bags as I HATE having something to carry in my hand!!

Argghh, thought I was immune to the handbag thing, but got distracted onto the Mulberry site and now I want one. 😯 My former boss is one of the 'mulberry family' – the son of the woman that founded the company, I knew I should have been nice to him…

ART quick get back in touch with him, you may be able to buy in bulk and get a good discount!!

At least it appears so.

Art, my dad's cousin's daughter is Hellen Mellon of Jimmy Choo. I am wondering wether it would be bad eticate to ask her about a discount at the next big family funeral!

Damn and blast…never really looked at the Mulberry website before! 8)

I love all types of bags…messenger, clutch, shoulder, tote, hand!!

There is no hope for me, I know! 😳

Interesting! Think I'll wait until my birthday and maybe just treat myself to an original one from the shop! I want the small Antony in black! mmmmmm

Sorry Angela .. the same happened to me and i've been obssessed ever since 😉

That's what my lass got. Far more practicle even if it doesn't stand out as much as the tan and chocolate. Hark at me I;'ve gone all Dale Winton.

If you think Radley is back, there's a couple of girls at work who have 600 quid mulberry bags. The mind boggles. They could of have brought some nice Fox 32s for that. If only they had known.

Oh I wouldn't spent £600 on a handbag!!!! Billy check you out and your "gok" style advice, your girlfriend will be so proud!!
