Too heavy would be a deal breaker. I checked out the m0851 bags, and they are lovely, although not exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestion!<br />Thanks, Suz!<br />JAileen, Fossil was my go-to for the longest time! I lovelovelove their bags. I can't seem to find a Fossil that has just the shape I'm looking for right now.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-leather-handbags#post-1704271 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 13:46:10 +0000 JAileen 1704271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you looked at Fossil? Although I adore vintage Coach, I have several leather Fossil bags. They are lightweight and less expensive, but very functional with lots of pockets both inside and out. I have a couple like this one. I feel like they are not so precious that I have to take extra care with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-leather-handbags#post-1704111 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 03:44:58 +0000 Suz 1704111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still hoping to see and touch one of the m0851 bags one of these days. They are definitely not cheap but they are very beautiful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-leather-handbags#post-1704073 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 02:40:49 +0000 Roxanna 1704073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, as much as I love the look of heavy, pebbled grain leather, I just can't take the weight with add much as I stuff in my bags!<br /> @irina and @rebekahphoto / glad to hear the Skagen bags are light and good quality. They sound like the bags I love from m0851 (you should check out that site, Zibbets / similar clean and classic designs and incredible leather.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-leather-handbags#post-1703968 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 00:42:50 +0000 kkards 1703968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ive drooled over the hulme and frank Gregg websites a few times. One issue that has held me back is the bags on both sites look heavy. I wish they gave the weight well as the sizes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-leather-handbags#post-1703960 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 00:21:18 +0000 Irina 1703960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Skagen satchel in light grey and love it. Soft leather, simple design, love, love, love It is my "summer" bag, used it for about 3 months so far and can't comment on how it will hold up in a long run. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-leather-handbags#post-1703946 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 23:58:32 +0000 Anonymous 1703946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a Dooney &amp; Bourke fan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-leather-handbags#post-1703927 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 23:30:18 +0000 Zibbets 1703927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much, retailgirl. I will check those out!<br /> <br />Angie, I saw some Furla bags at Nordstrom Rack today and thought of you. They are lovely. I appreciate your recommendations.<br /> <br />Thanks, Roxanna! How great to find someone who has owned those bags. I'm still thinking about that one...exactly what I'm seeking and a lifetime guarantee...what's not to love??<br /> <br />Oh, rebekah, thank you! I hadn't even thought of checking Ebay.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-leather-handbags#post-1703894 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 22:17:56 +0000 rebekahphoto 1703894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Hulme bag, and my folks have several (both totes, leather &amp; canvas/leather). The quality is amazing. Incredible. thick soft leather. the prices have increased significantly over the last few years since I received mine, but it is a lifetime purchase and they sometimes have sales</p> <p>I visited the Skagen store in Denmark last summer &amp; swooned over the bags, very soft leather &amp; nice minimal designs. very lightweight. Several styles have been carried by nordstrom. &amp; I have seen both brands available on ebay at good prices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-leather-handbags#post-1703874 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 21:45:55 +0000 Roxanna 1703874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking closely at Skagen too, as I love their aesthetic. They have them at The Bay here in Canada, so I may order one and check it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-leather-handbags#post-1703864 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 21:36:48 +0000 Angie 1703864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ </p> <p>I have no experience with these particular brands, but am a great Furla and L.A.M.B. handbag fan. J.Crew does gorgeous bags too, as does Alexander Wang, L.K.

This morning my search led me to the J.W. Hulme website which offers exactly what I'm looking for, but wow, the prices! I'm swooning over the full size Lyndal bucket bag in saddle:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jwhulmeco.com/Lyndale-Bucket-Bag-p/94155.htm">http://www.jwhulmeco.com/Lynda...../94155.htm</a></p> <p>I also found the Mette Leather bucket bag at Skagen:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.skagen.com/us/en/women/bags-and-accessories/satchels-and-shoulder-bags/mette-leather-bucket-bag-pdpswh0172p.html?imagePath=SWH0172348&amp;referer=productlisting">http://www.skagen.com/us/en/wo.....ather-buck</a>&nbsp;I love my Skagen watch, but I've never seen their bags.</p> <p>Do you have experience with either of these brands or can you suggest an alternative?&nbsp;</p> <p>Many thanks! </p>
