So let me catch up on what's hot in bags now. If you’re me, it’s 37 crossbodies. I don’t know what the rest of the world is buying.

I am drooling over these bags. I just bought myself an unfun Tumi laptop bag for work travel. I'm excited about it, but it's not the fun WOC I want right now! All I need right now is a large black work tote. So all these beautiful bags are lovely for drooling over, but I have to be practical. And while I want the Tory Burch posted up thread, I think I better do cheaper. I got a structured Kate Spade tote for work a few weeks ago for like $150 Do you have an outlet near you

I was there just before Christmas, thinking I should just buy my new work bag for me, but I didn’t want to spend the money. I found a nice Nine West bag on sale for $50. I think might just pick that up. www.dsw.ca/en/ca/product/nine-west-evalena-tote/430100264

Because of this place, I picked up the Lululemon festival bag in copper clay, it’s on sale for $49 right now, along with some other colors.
Excited to join the festival club 😂

Excited to join the festival club 😂 I keep going back and forth on this. Then I think that I spent that much on Diet Coke last month and I should just pull the trigger.

I think the copper clay is kind of like a blush and can be treated as a neutral. I just know I’m going to wear the bag a ton when I’m chasing after my kids at various playgrounds during our visit to the states this summer. 👍

Large Kate totes are my go-to for work.

I've been browsing briefcase/mens messenger bags. Does anyone have any personal experience with the Filson briefcases or Maverick? The Maverick browsing came about from targeted advertising on SM, and they look nice, but not sure if it will hold up well over time. Basically- I'm looking for a canvas or nylon or lightweight leather briefcase/messenger bag combo that will take a beating.

I actually got a Kate diaper bag at the outlet when I was pregnant that I ended up using as a work bag. It’s about 4 years now, I carry 75 lbs of shit every day, and the strap is just starting to rip - but is holding strong!

I've narrowed my search down to these two since I remembered I have a smaller crossbody that can be used when I go out. DH gets annoyed that I don't choose bright colors.

Currently, I am leaning towards the Strathberry Allegro midi because I think it will hold slightly more. Does anyone actually have a Strathberry? There aren’t many reviews, but the bar handle situation looks like it might get annoying. If I’m out for a day of shopping and lunch will it start to drive me crazy getting into it repeatedly? How does the handle wear from having to bend all the time?

beesquared I have one, but I’m probably not too helpful as mine is a small dressier bag and not an everyday bag. I’ll say I love the quality and the look though.

How does the handle wear from having to bend all the time? I have the Midi Tote with the bar handle. It's a different way to get into a bag. As far as using for a day of shopping, I think it's fine. The handle on mine still looks the same as when I purchased the bag. If you have a Saks near you, some of them carry Strathberry in store so you can touch it and play with the handle to see if you like it.

I’m also in that cult. I carried that bag all summer and it was so versatile and comfortable! Mine is a blush pink color.

Hi, I’m new and i’ve got a “Help me shop!” for ya:-) I need ideas for a new bag, the budget is 2k and I’m open to all brands. I’m really loving the Gucci flora line right now because it looks fun, yet I’m also feeling like maybe I want a top handle bag. About me: my last bag purchase was a LV monmonogram neverfull GM and my bag collection ranges from Chanel flap bags to random leather totes. Thanks!

My all time favorite top handle bag is the Givenchy Antigona. I have the small in oxblood and I love it.

Ugh I should stop coming in here!! Count me in as another one for the festival bag. I have been trying to find it IRL to look at it but my local store is always sold out. Well I just ordered two since they are on sale. I’m excited to use these at DS1’s games!

I’ll rec the first bag I ever recommended in the first bag thread. I loveee my LV Cluny. It has a detachable shoulder strap and it’s so damn ladylike. It was prob my most impulsive bag purchase ever bc I tried it on and I just loved how it looked. I actually carried it today to the gym. 😂 I’m somewhat rough on it because I use it everyday and it still looks great, a few years later.
