Prada Bowler bag is this seasons must have, Thats the one ill be looking for.

Also Hermes 'Kelly' bag or Christian Diors chain handle bag.

elliebee any idea of the price ? if you get them can you post where to get them and cost. we got radley and chloe this year for our sons girlfriends and they loved them.dont forget to let us know about the mince pies too!

I will be taking my favourite leather Ted Baker to get it copied in another colour!!

Anyone got any ideas of how much I should expect to pay.

Bushbaby will do

I think my Chloe bag last year was around £12, maybe could have bought it cheaper as hubby went in and got it after id been going on about it for ages, he wont barter I use it most everyday and its still in good condition.

Are the bags leather in the shops or markets?

Yes all leather - quite good quality too

I found "Leather Touch" in Candolim to be the best. All the bags are of similar quality, but at Leather Touch the inner was lined with nubuck leather, rather than the really flimsy stuff that the majority sell.

Worth the extra money to get a better quality bag

Salford is Leather Touch on Beach Road with the glass front??

Many thanks everyone.

I bought 3 bags this year 2 C/Channel black/white 1 Radley they cost £36.I did get a small discount but in most of the shops i found they did'nt want to haggle with you due to not a lot of visitors out this year.

Leather Touch is in Candolim on the main road between Fort Aguarda and Calangute.

It's on the right hand side as you go towards Calangute, just past the Elephant shop in a row of shops that includes Guru Jewellers, Ashoka Jewellers and is next door to the Magnum hotel.

Thanks PP. Any idea how much I should expect to pay if I asked them to copy a bag? I think I got robbed with my Chloe bag - I paid about £30 - saying that it's a very good quality leather and very well made!

Lozza 07 i took the debenhams brochure out with me to have a bag copied the bag was priced at £60 to have it copied was £54 i had 2 quotes at £50 so in the end i did'nt bother.I hope you have better luck than me.

I've never asked for a bag to be copied specially, I've only bought ones that are on the shelf.
Whether it's actually worth having one made depends (I think) on how much the original costs.

As sleeps_r_us says, if it's only about £100 or so, then you'll not get a fake one made a lot cheaper.
A couple of shops had some cute small Radley ones with dogs on leads, they were priced around 650 Rps when we were out in November (just over £8) but you could buy an original from the Monarch in-flight mag for about £25, so I'd rather pay that extra and buy that.

I noticed there was quite a lot of Mulberry Roxanne bags that retail at £595 - I bought one for £24 a couple of years ago.

I do agree with Salford about Leather Touch, they seem to be good quality.

I'd just go with an open mind and see what you're quoted.

Thanks Polly and Sleeps!! I'll have a little think about it... the problem is I see a bag I like and get attached to it, my boyfriend bought me a Ted Baker bag last Christmas and I use it everyday, it's a perfect size and style!! I would really like it in another colour. To be honest I'm not prepared to pay any more than I paid for the Chloe bag I bought this year. I will let you know how I get on. Thanks again!
