Their Velvet leather are soft and pliable - the Vintage are stiffer. Most bags come in both varieties.<br /> They are a bit more casual than the Radley, but I’ve been happy with the quality and durability of mine.<br /> They are sold through many retailers, but their own site presumably shows the full collection.<br /> <a href="https://www.hobobags.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.hobobags.com/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-bought-a-bag-thanks-angie-but#post-2207240 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 13:32:01 +0000 kkards 2207240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes the elusive search for the perfect bag…sorry this one was not right. But at least you have more data now on what you don’t want </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-bought-a-bag-thanks-angie-but#post-2207237 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 13:29:24 +0000 cat2 2207237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I buy essentially the same bag, in different colors, over the years. It needs to not be heavy or droopy, have a shoulder strap, have a zip top and one big compartment, and have inside side cell phone and key pockets. Then I add my own TSA ok toiletries bag and a small bag for electronic accessories that I move from purse to purse. I don’t like the ones with all the preset small compartments; I want to be able to put a range of things in the bag, ranging from folders of papers to a water bottle to a scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-bought-a-bag-thanks-angie-but#post-2207229 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 13:14:49 +0000 Angie 2207229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a good interim solution! Pretty.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder if buying a regular lightweight bag with an organizer that you insert separately is an idea?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-bought-a-bag-thanks-angie-but#post-2207184 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 05:37:19 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2207184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too bad! It's a nice-looking bag. It is definitely hard to find one with all the right features. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-bought-a-bag-thanks-angie-but#post-2207168 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 04:29:22 +0000 Anonymous 2207168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a classy bag. &nbsp;It has taken me decades to figure out what I need in a summer bag. &nbsp;It must be big and open at the top to hold extra stuff like a topper for my outfit, a water bottle and maybe a book plus all the usual stuff. &nbsp;It must be strong but light weight and have the option to carry it on the shoulder or cross-body. &nbsp;If used for travel it must hold even more.<br />I have found that I am better off without lots of interior pockets. &nbsp;I just lose things in them. &nbsp;I like to use small fabric bags that can easily be moved from one handbag to another. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-bought-a-bag-thanks-angie-but#post-2207167 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 04:12:41 +0000 Debbie 2207167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Buying bags is certainly a process. I love my new Radley but I understand that need for a softer bag. I hope you fine “the one”<br /> Have you looked at Fossil bags. That have some nice soft leather ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finally-bought-a-bag-thanks-angie-but#post-2207146 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 02:35:22 +0000 Peri 2207146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i></i>I think I will call it a learning experience. I thought I had finally (two years of searching, but admittedly off and on) found "the one". Well, no. I did learn more of what doesn't work so well for me.</p> <p>I really like the look of this Radley London bag. I bought it in light blue, not this bright blue color. It has the key features I needed...inside pockets for phone and keys and a zip pocket for papers. It is for sure better looking than my ancient and falling apart Coach.&nbsp;</p> <p>But, the 3 separate compartments are not working as well as I hoped. Things have to be placed just so, it's a tight fit, and it's fussy to get things in and out. I have also learned I don't like the thicker-stiffer leather but prefer something lighter and softer. Finally, while I love the light blue color it makes me feel worried about stains and wear for daily use and I'm not someone who has multiple bags for different uses.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've used it too much now to return it I think...it already shows some wear. I'll keep it because it looks good for sure, but the search for "the one" has not been called off. </p>
