coolbeans, I vote black because I'd be worried beige would get dirty. And also, I love all things black.

My only issue is that the big black one doesn’t come with a shoulder strap, and the small size is too small. They also have a yellow which is fun but I may transition this to use as my everyday work bag to carry my laptop and yellow seems like a summer/spring colour only. Thoughts on blue?

I like the contrast of the black strap that comes with the beige bag. I hesitate on beige canvas, tho, as a duty bag like a carryon because it's going to be shoved and stored places during travel that won't keep the beige pristine.

I love it. That’s the one! I am now leaning heavily towards it.

The beige one is cotton which makes me think it’s washable (ish) but also not as structured.

I need a new fall bag, but I am unable to pin down exactly what it is I want…tote, crossbody, something in between? I have no idea, so I just keep waiting for something to call to me and I’m being ghosted.

I don't feel like I have a reason to buy something new when my life is pretty boring right now with less going out and no upcoming travels. I have spent a lot of effort trying to find something though!

That color wouldn’t work for me/my wardrobe. But I love absolutely everything else about it. I need it in brown. ETA they have it in brown but not suede. Hmmmm

That really is such a fun travel bag. I love the crossbody aspect... Adding to the Christmas list.

Oh I love this. Polene Umi, with adjustable strap. I saw this! I also noticed that Polene raised their prices on nearly every bag, and it seems like the new ones are getting names - not numbers anymore. I kind of like the number thing, but I can see how they can’t keep doing that forever. Wish I had bought the neuf before the price increase!

I think this bag is so fun. I have one in beige (not the same brand but similar). It looks great but is such a pain to open and close since the front flap is so stiff. bazi

Is this where I confess I don't speak French and was like huh, didn't know "umi" was a number but was like ok good to know? Here's byjove trying to learn how to count in French from polene bags. Looks like they are adding names to some of the numbered ones too.
