  • Tula are good quality, I sold them in a leather shop, they get better with age, same with The Bridge last for years, quality always shows through,

    They are lovely quality and long lasting, how many £10 bags will you waste money on before you find one that is so just you? What else will you spend your £30 on? We all deserve a treat now and then :)

  • Tula bags are made by Radley, but cost less. |Their bags are good quality and last for, well, as long as you want!

    If you love the bag, and can afford the £40 to put towards your vouchers, I'd say it's worth it. However I treated myself last year to a Radley bag and was very disappointed when the lining came away within a few months. That's happened before with bags, but I was less bothered when it happened to a £15 Tesco one and had expected my £99 (in a sale!) Radley to last!

    Thats the one. Ive been trying to get the link.
  • I have a Tula bag that's a few years old now. The exterior still looks good but unfortunately the lining didn't last all that long. The threads have come unpicked in a number of places.

    I have a Tula bag, which I use for evenings out, etc, any time when I don't need a shoulder bag. Had it for years.

    Would someone please tell me why the big hype over Kipling bags? Now they seem way over-priced as well as over-hyped.

    They are high quality and virtually indestructible. I have several in the classic designs and dark colours (some of their more 'out there' designs are absolutely hideous). They also look good as new after a wash.

    I wouldn't say they are bags for smart occasions, but they are perfect for casual stuff. For example, I have a black rucksack that has travelled the world and looks good as new despite a lot of abuse and me overfilling it. It is also smart looking and doesn't have that 'gap year student' vibe about it.

    BTW, I only buy them from outlet stores so never pay full price.
