Across body bags are generally moderately priced depending on the brand, material, quality and size you are looking for and a great must for every wardrobe.

The Come Back Kid

This season we see the ever popular reappearance of the crescent shape hobo style bag, and many of the well know brands are featuring this style this year. In particular this bag by Azure Leather of their Sirocco Limited Edition Range almost has a saddle bag look, and is really very good value for money. It is in a soft tactile leather, with a pocket and buckle details on the front, and is spacious and comfortable to carry, and ideal for the fashion conscious who want a quality leather bag by a trusted brand name.

To Organize or Not to Organize

Do you need to be organised, due to a demanding schedule, or your personality dictates that you must have a place for everything, or you are naturally untidy and need structure. Then the organizer bag is for you. The Organizer Bag is specifically designed in such a way that many of them come with a built in section for mobile phone, lipsticks, credit cards, pens, key rings attachment, as well as multiple zipped and open pockets to cover most needs. So, everything you might need through the day is on hand, and easy to find, and get to, without having to stand there rummaging through the bottom of your bag, desperately trying to grab on to the right item, or hoping you have remembered to bring everything you need. If any of you have ever put a pair of socks in the laundry and yet you have ended up with only one sock you will know what I mean. No matter how hard you search through that pile you cannot find the other sock. Our organizer bags come in black, brown and burgundy brown with no shortage of compartments and pockets making sure you can stay organized.

Top Zip Organizer - The Rebel Without the Flapover

Now this bag which is by Sirco Leather is also fashioned in the organizer style, and has one main large spacious compartment with a top zip but it also has a handy pull down outer pocket on the front which has the usual slots for cards and an id holder etc. giving you everything you need to keep all your items neat and tidy and easy to get to. But the nice feature about this organizer is that it has silver tone hardware on the front and sides to give it added interest and nice wide bottom. It is available in three colours of Black, Brown and Tan, and as most organizers are usually designed with a flap over, this bag is great for someone who wants an organizer but in a style that doesn't come in a standard organizer shape, hence we have here "the rebel without the flapover".

Hectic Lifestyle or Just a Free Spirit

The hobo style bag is ideal for those of you who have a hectic life or as the name Hobo suggests are a bit of a free spirit. The name Hobo Bag comes from when a sac or cloth tied at the ends to give it a crescent shape, was carried either over the shoulder or at the end of a stick used by hobos or tramps to carry all their belongings in. Suede or leather is the ideal choice for a hobo style bag as the material is tactile and soft, and over time and use becomes softer still, but having said that the quality of todays faux leather bags also do an excellent job. Hobo style bags usually tend to fall in graceful folds, as you fill them, and are ideal for those of you who have items that are an irregular shape, or because of a hectic lifestyle with no time to spare, and you need something you can just throw everything in quickly. For those of us on a budget this bag which comes in suede offers up to the minute fashion at a very reasonable price.

Now You See It, Now You Don't

The latest trend this year has seen the appearance of the bag within the bag, with the outer bag being waterproof and see through, and here in old blighty as all Brit's know, we are at the mercy of the vagaries of the weather, so it has proved jolly useful on occasion. This bag, is large, and comes with an inner detachable zippered bag which sits inside it comfortably. It is so flexible that you can also leave the inner bag at home and swap it for another suitable sized bag, from your wardrobe, and possibly add to it your shopping, umbrella and so forth. Not only is it waterproof, large, and decorative, but It also has the added bonus of being easy to keep clean, as all it would need is a quick wipeover with a good antibacterial wipe.

Lady In Red

For all of you fashionistas out there who like to make a statement, and love colour, then, you will love this bag. It is just that little bit different, and has diamantes, to give it sparkle, patent leather effect to give it shine, and stud work on the handles to add some bling. If you like big and bold, or want a bag to compliment your extrovert personality, or just need something a bit dressy to brighten up a plain outfit, then we have a winner with this lovely red bag.

A Splash Of The Classics

No don't panic we are not about to wax lyrical about 'War and Peace'. But take a look at our Classic Collection of bags by Lily and Jane. These are a standard for most wardrobes, and they never let you down. But classic does not mean it has to be boring. Take a look at this classic Grab Bag, (or Tote Bag for those of you on the other side of the Pond) which is made of a nice soft, leather. So those of you ladies whose wardrobes tend to veer to the classics, but you need something versatile, then this bag would be just the ticket, as the two compartments one with a top zip and one with a magnetic button closure makes it possible to secure more precious items in the top zip section and the magentic button closure compartment makes items you need quickly much more easily accessible. The length of the dual carrying handles means you can either carry it over your shoulder or in your hand as it is not overly long making this style one of our best sellers, as it is so easy to use, and this is a style which we have with either the decorative flower detail, or as well as without.

A Splash of the Classics Too

Now this bag is also a great classic look yet very much in tune with the current trend of the structured look with defined shapes and sharper lines as this bag seems to offer this look with its straight top and defined corners. But again we say classic does not mean it has to be boring, as this is classic with a twist as this handbag comes with lovely decorative flower motif detail on the front and is deceptively spacious as it has a wide base to the bag, with a top zip closure for extra security, giving you a soft leather handbag with the sharper more defined clean edges on the top, making this a real winner.

Zip and Tuck

This bag is by Taurus a well known trusted brand name and comes in navy and black in a soft good quality leather with a tasteful decorative zip detail feature on either corner of the bag. So if you want a bag that is the latest look, and current trend but not too out there, then you might like the zippered look on this bag. It has a top zip closure and is large enough to double as not only a day bag, but also would be suitable as an office bag, and big enough to carry a small lap top. So if you want a bag you can zip and tuck your bits and bobs into and is not heavy to carry around, then this might do the job. This bag is great value for money, and as supplies are limited, once it's gone it's gone.

Busy! Busy! Busy!

Now ladies this Limited Edition Bag is large and decorative, with lots of extra features, which makes it very versatile. For example, if you hate carrying a briefcase to work, yet want a bag big enough to hold files, as well as your personal knick knacks, then bingo! this would do the job, as it has the extra pockets on the front, back and sides, and you also have the added bonus of the decorative metal hardware on the front, with a slight metallic sheen which all serve to give it that extra bit of style. As this bag is quite large, you can also, tuck inside it, either a small clutch, evening bag or across body bag, should you have lunch or dinner plans for later in the day. Then for those of us who are not office wallahs, and don't have lots of files to carry around, it not only makes a great day bag but can also double up as an overnight bag as it is large enough to be able to throw in a change of clothes, as well.
