Pom Pom London vs Katie Loxton: Leather Bags or Gifting Accessories?
A fair comparison for anyone deciding between the two. Katie Loxton details are taken from their website and were last checked in October 2026; please check their site for current ranges and prices.
The short version
Katie Loxton is a gifting and accessories brand with a very broad range, from bags and jewellery to candles and stationery, at accessible prices. Pom Pom London is a leather handbag brand: we make full-grain leather crossbody bags and the straps and small leather goods that go with them. If you want a thoughtful gift under £40 with a personalised gift bag, Katie Loxton does that well. If you want a leather bag that will last for years, that is what we do.

Choosing between them
Think about what the bag is for. A suedette or woven bag at £50 to £70 is a lovely seasonal piece and a generous gift. A full-grain leather bag costs more up front and should still be in use five years on, which is why ours come with a year's warranty and why many of our customers buy a second one in another colour rather than replacing the first.
If you are buying a gift
Our gifts for her, gifts for mum and gifts under £50 edits cover coin purses, keyrings and straps as well as bags, and every bag already arrives with two free straps and a keyring, so the present comes with its own extras.
If you are buying a bag to keep
Start with the leather crossbody bags, or use the bag comparison guide to find the right size.
