Help! Looking for the perfect blue bag...

[blueberry713]

Ok, so I've been searching and searching for a handbag in the perfect shade of blue for almost a year now with no satisfying results and it's become an obsession. I have realized it's time to turn to the experts for some help

Anyone who can point me in the direction of a good quality leather bag (shoulder, tote, hobo or satchel styles) under $600, in an electric/cobalt blue like the one attached will be my hero forever.

Hayden Harnett has some bags in the cobalt blue. If this one doesn't 'speak' to you then punch on "Handbags" at the top left of the page, and you can see other styles that may be in cobalt blue. (this was just the first one I came to)

ooh, the Tano sex bomb is da bomb! I have a HH smoke blue, and it does not have that "punch" like this.

What about Jenny Yuen Sherlock or Gatsby, in sapphire:

Not sure if this is the right shade of blue:

My suggestion would be too light blue--Brighton has a nice bag for under $300 but it's not cobalt blue.

I'm loving looking at these bags! so pretty!

I was on the exact same search a while back ! It ended with my Rebecca Minkoff Morning After bag in Royal (pics attached). There are many posts about this bag if you do a search, and I think there is a sample sale happening now in NYC...good luck!

Thanks so much for the great suggestions, everyone! I think the closest matches so far are the Rebecca Minkoff and the Tano...will have to try to check them out in person.

Belen Echandia does an amazing petrol blue - someone posted about theirs a week or so ago - well worth checking out.

Does the Morning After bag come with a detachable shoulder strap? That would seal the deal for me That bag in that color is gorgeous. /end of threadjack...

No- sorry the RM Morning After does not come with detachable shoulder strap, but they have different styles in the color Royal, I think...
maybe the Elisha has the straps you are looking for? Check out rebeccaminkoff.com or call the NY store- I've talked to Jacqueline there & she's really nice!

Here's another Tano. I have this bag and it's terrific. Seriously I don't know what you plan on toting and I don't know how well a Tano will hold up to big time wear or weight over a long period of time. But they are less expensive.

ahhh! i love the minkoff royal and the JY sapphire...both are sooo beautiful in person! rich and dark, but still bright.
