    Marc B - find it online, also available online through Topshop. I have 2 of the bags & have had so many compliments! Also it's good they're not really available here so it will be unusual :-)

    Depends what kind of bags she's into really....

    If she likes colourful bags Paul's boutique do nice bags that are a bit quirky.

    Guess do really nice bags, and they are bound to have something within your price range.

    At the moment there are also some really nice bags in BT2's that would definitely be in your price range(plus they have 20% off at the moment, so that helps!!) I was in there the other day and the new season Michael kors bags are in, and the smaller
    one is around 220(20% will bring it in budget!!) Kind of like this!! It also comes in black...(though the brown is really nice for spring!)

    ^ And I cant stick pauls boutique, or guess.

    OP, honestly, I'm not sure if this is a good idea. You could spend a lot of money on something that she might not like or use. You'll need to give us an idea of what brands she likes or what kind of style she has. Favourite colours, etc.

    Or give her a 200 euro voucher for Brown Thomas ;)

    Some beautiful bags in Ted Baker... If someone was buying me a bag would love one of their soft tan leather & patent satchels or something like:

    Also DKNY or Guess in BT's.. Can't go too far wrong! :)

    Agree with above poster.. Hate Paul's Boutique (I just think 'tacky' and 'tween') but then...others love it! Really will depend on individual choice

    Bags are a very personal thing - so unless you know exactly what she would like, you could make a mess of it :)

    Perhaps you could take a walk with her through BT one day, and see what she likes. Or maybe Arnott's, Cleary's or Debenhams.

    totally agree. Bags are all down to personal taste and what one girl would love another would hate. If you got the wrong one she would feel obliged to wear it even if she didnt like it

    why not take a stroll through a store like dudara suggested or ask a close friend of hers if there is a bag she really wants?
