I love the natural look too. I need a big tote w/ lots of inside sections & pockets as I carry a lot of stuff w/ me. Definitely heavy but the leather isn’t thin. They have both handles & a cross body strap. Here’s the other two. I’m not a designer β€œsnob” but it’s got to be genuine quality leather.

I guess I'll share this, too. For a long time I toyed with this Coach tote during Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation hearings. I was so hopeful and loved learning about her. In the end, it's too structured a bag for my work and general vibe. But I was close!

I don't even know how to be a designer snob. I hate a bag with logos all over it. Il Bisonte Italy sold to a Japanese conglomerate so those bags are no more. Wish I'd bought one last bag but didn't know... I like the black one. Since I've been WFH I no longer need a tote.

Not impressed by a designer’s logo covering an entire bag either. I bought my old EA leather totes at TJ Maxx and the designer logo was very small. πŸ˜„ I carry a bunch of stuff with me even when I go shopping lol.

Just saw this article which kind of explains the all-over designer logo thing as signs of being lower middle class (β€œthe bigger the logo the smaller the wealth”) while truly wealthy people learned that these bags are about licensing deals, not style.

Hahahaha speaking of bags a black pebble leather sling bag I bought from Quince (to hold my TENS unit when I need to carry it while wearing something nice - and the nylon ones just don’t cut it) was just delivered.

Thanks! I’d heard about Quince a while ago and just looked at their site a couple weeks ago. High quality items with good pricing. I’m all about that - finding good deals on quality items. Don’t overpay for the good stuff!

Same here. Free shipping & 365 day easy free returns. It’s a lot of mostly classic yet versatile quality materials items they sell direct to consumer. I was given a 20% discount after my first purchase (which I actually returned as it didn’t fit ) & then they just snail-mailed me a 25% off coupon.
