I've just measured my Alexa clutch strap, 1.5mtrs it also has 8 holes for adjustable wear.

I am on the seafront and do find the wellies come out from time to time for a windswept walk or a country stroll. I can see Ant would work well with the Barbour waxed jacket but not for me I still prefer my Alexa clutch:girlsigh:

Perfect! Im the assistant manager at a Barbour store and have a wax jacket saved at work waiting for me to purchase! Antony's have had mixed reviews I'm still un decided but what a fab idea about the alexa clutches xxx

It seems to be personal preference- if you prefer your bags east west style rather than north south like ant the clutch will be a better option for you- I dont get on with tall deep bags- prefer short and wide - bit like me!!:D

I think the Ant is a bag that I'm always going to like when I see it on other people but wouldn't buy it as I know I'd not like it on me, if that makes sense!?

Ditto Laura. I saw lots on the glam ladies of Windsor today. They make my head turn and I smiled in approval but felt no envy. :greengrin::nogood:
Had they been pretty and purple.... It would have been a different story x

Beaver - I am so with you and Laura on this one. And yes, if they were pretty and purple, I would be there like a shot too! :laugh:

Ooooh. I love the ink Antony. I keep looking at it. But know in my heart of hearts that my uni days are behind me, and it would probably look a little silly on a middle aged (gulp) woman.

Bethanh, i am almost 40 and love messenger bags more now that i did when i was younger and at uni! The messenger gets used the most for me as they are more comfortable! I agree with Moo, great for hands free, i love the small messengers and drive with them on so i can jump in and out without taking off my bag!!

Hmmm. Thanks girls. That is food for thought. All of my bags are messenger style, as I need to be able to fling a bag cross body with the kids. I just need to work out whether I am hankering after the ink (the alexa in ink is the bag I am most sad to have missed), or whether I am really taken with the Antony style. The sad thing is that, although I am almost 40, I still feel 20. :sad:

I have a Large Chocolate Darwin Ant and it goes anywhere and everywhere - you can have iPad/Kindle, purse, umbrella and still have room left for phone and make-up etc. I suggest you get one and test drive it because I didn't think it was for me until I tried it!
