Hi all
After my bayswater tote had to go back because it was faulty, I have credit to spend. (My other thread on the bays tote shows photos of the faults.) So one of my choices might be the Elkington as it's one of the few bags still available in nvt. My question is can you double up the strap to make it a shorter shoulder strap? If so, does anyone have photos? In which case this might be a good choice, then it could be hand held, cross body, or short shoulder which covers all possibilities, and it's a secure bag.
Other choices could be:
nvt bayswater - more expensive, heavy, quite large and bulky, secure, classic
tessie hobo - good size but looks compact, secure, similar size and style to my daria hobo, this was what I was going to buy but fell for the bays tote in the sale
tessie tote - cheaper, large but maybe too bulky, too open for London, unsure about micro fibre lining
small alice zip tote - good size, understated design, secure, I haven't heard much feedback so unsure if it's a good purchase or not
blossom tote - cheaper, too open for London
small marty backpack - haven't seen this - any thoughts?
slim heathcliffe - nvt!, good size etc but strap very long and couldn't be shortened much
Oh, and the bag will be in black. Anyone know if there's anything in the outlets at the moment which might suit?
Thanks in advance
