Swing Mini (similar to Soho Leather Top Handle):
- great size (not too big or too small)
- long strap for cross body
- can be held with top handles
- simple designer (it doesn't have so much going on that it's hard to match with an outfit)
- leather looks as good as it did when new
Nice Microguccissima Patent Leather Top Handle Bag:
- comes with a removable long strap so can be worn cross body
- can be held using top handles
- great size
- Microguccissima is glossy and makes the colours look amazing
- low maintenance.. I have been caught in seriously bad weather, taken this to bars (someone spilled a drink on it!) and it looks flawless
Joy Boston:
- classic looking
- despite not having a long strap to wear cross body, the handles are comfy when wearing in the crook of my arm
- great size (can hold lots!!)
- coated canvas is low maintenance
- neutral colours make it easy to match with outfits
Very good examples of perfect everyday bags

I love my Joy Boston too, it's a great bag to take to outdoor events and fun days out involving (or around) children
