I wanna buy a leather manbag

I want to buy a leather briefcase with a shoulder strap (yes, a manbag), but I'm a bit shocked by the price these things. My current briefcase is falling to bits, but I just can't seem to find a reasonable replacement. Can anyone suggest any shops in London that sell these at reasonable prices i.e. £150 max? Or perhaps places where I could pick up a second hand one?

Would like something nice and smart as I will be taking it to work, and I'd like to avoid ebay or online shops as I would like to have a proper look at it before buying.

I've seen a few bags from Mulberry that would do the job but they are way too expensive for me. Any pointers would be appreciated.

  • Bought a mulberry briefcase case £600, got it ebay for £205, by Mulberrymad, actually came from Mulberry factory outlet The Old School House Shepton Mallet Somerset where you could see one reduced to £150?

    Have you tried a luggage shop?

    If you have an outlet shopping centre near you, Samsonite do a lovely leather briefcase with carrying strap, which you should be able to get within your budget price.

    I let my mind wander and it never came back!
