I want a new bag

[Deleted]

Not sure of your style, but I love my Duluth Trading Co bag. It's very roomy and all leather so it holds up great to the beating my bags get.

I went to go look at that Duluth bag in person and it's really pretty and well made. Not sure if that's a style you're looking for or no.

I kinda of am in love with my Dooney & Bourke for a catchall that looks professional.

Also, not sure if they are "thing" elsewhere but I love my monogramed Jon Hart. I have this one with a gold foil monogram.

I'm using this DB purse right now and I love it! Do you use the shoulder strap? I recently took it off and am kind of digging holding it by the straps.

I do both depending on my outfit. I really like it better than some of my expensive bags!

Lol this IS my expensive bag!

Well, I was going to recommend my Louis Vuitton Neverful MM, but it has doubled in price since I bought mine. I do love it a lot, though. LV haters to he left.

I went through a phase after getting my first big girl job where I bought really expensive crap. So sadly I have many expensive things in my closet that I'm hoarding in case I ever feel the need to sell a kidney.

I buy those longchamp totes. I can throw everyone's carp in there and I can't really destroy it

Does the carp make the bag smell bad?

I got this bag a couple of years ago and it is the first bag I have not tired of. I love it--roomy and under $200. patricianashdesigns.com/women/handbags/cavo-n-s-tote

Frye Melissa Washed Satchel. There are many color shades to choose from.

Have you looked at Brahmin? I bought a bag from then last year and I absolutely love it and the quality is great.

@clgsquared , I've been on the hunt for the perfect bag (within the same price point) and here are a few that I found. My criteria was that it has to be big enough to carry my crap and my daughters, has to have a center zip pocket (bc a divider seems like a good idea - her stuff on one side, mine on the other) and it has to have either an attached body strap or a handle drop of longer than 10 inches. Here are some great bags I've come across:

Tory Burch - Ivy Bag (just released)
Tory Burch - Thea (handle strap was too short for my liking but beautiful bag!)
Tory Burch - Harper (front runner)

Marc Jacobs - Madison

I loooooved this MCM bag! It hit every need and was so,so gorgeous in person, but I couldn't justify the price tag
MCM - Milla

Dagne Dover has some nice bags too. I ordered the Simone thinking it would have been perfect, but it was too laptop/messenger bag for me. Their other purses are definitely worth checking out though!

I just bought this Boden bag. Im hoping it's the one, but if not, my quest will continue!

chickie, If the bag I ordered doesn't work out, that's going to be my next try!
