If I can't have you (Kelly and Ebury), I don't want nobody baby?

[Miss Sooky]

I've been very open about my love for Hermes and Anya Hindmarch's Ebury, but they don't seem to love me back because they just keep asking for money . . .! So what do to do? I really need (no, I mean it, I do need) a smaller bag for daily use rather than the supersize versions and I don't have anything except a small square shaped Mulberry that I'm no longer keen on.

So, how to find a bag that is:

• Small to medium in size (big enough for a paperback, a purse (British! Where I keep my money), a bit of makeup and a phone
• Classic, non-slouchy shape in the style of (not a copy) a Kelly or an Ebury
• Black or possibly winter white/cream
• Minimal hardware, no logos, plain design
• High quality but not so expensive my children will have to be happy with a satsuma for Christmas
• Suitable for a 30-something who dresses pretty formally, is tall and blonde

All help gratefully received - I need you !

Have you looked at the Chanel Kelly as a alternative to the Hermes Kelly. It's a very chic bag and I do love the Kelly shape in the Chanel quilt.

It's the bag on the top left. It's a lovely bag and a great alternative to the Hermes. Here is a link discussing it:

Hope that is of some help.....
