I've only brought a new bag last month so best not 😉
I saw a woman walking with one I liked so accosted her as you do and asked for the brand. Reisenthal. It's more of a practical bag. Roomy lots of pockets including two that fit my water bottles. Mines very heavy and it IS all my stuff lol.
Current purse is a Filofax saffiano compact zip. I had a ted baker for years that I loved but when it died I tried a couple of cheaper versions which I hated so went back to something decent. I sold my ragley/ted baker bags years ago and gave away my others when I realised my neck and shoulders prefer backpacks and so do I 😁Dedicated Debt Free Wanabee 🤓

@moving_forward they get so heavy don’t they! I think in future I need to keep a list of all the lovely things my diary friends mention and then when it’s my birthday or Christmas I will have a good base to choose from…as I never know what I want at the time and really struggle not to waste a present!In other news…the doggy ramp arrived early. We had some practice runs with lots of treats and a flat out refusal….she says absolutely not, it’s a death trap, what were we thinking! 😖 Maybe she’ll have a change of heart, but she’s a wilful madam, so possibly not 😢Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

P.s. my backpack has the advantage of being unisex so doesn't make Me M_F feel a twit when he carries it for me if my shoulders playing up.Dedicated Debt Free Wanabee 🤓

I would just leave it in place in the hopes she’ll use it. My dog wouldn’t use the padded ottoman at first but after a couple of weeks she realised it was there to help her.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Thanks @jwil. Refusals tonight so far, but I’ve changed the bedding so it might be nice to enjoy it dog free for a tiny bit 😬Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

I sold a few of my Radley picure bags a while back for not very much.
Kept my original gnome one, it's on the wall in the spare room.
Still love it.
Bought 20 years ago this month actually, the day a close family member died.
