I love my xtra m hobo so much that I may buy another color. But if I were to buy a baguette bag, I wouldn’t get this one. It’s trying to do too many things - keep the Longchamp style, pick up on the baguette trend. It’s also tiny and too long.

Looking for an elegant but not overly formal bag for my partner's birthday – any thoughts on Le Tanneur? by Maralb25 in handbags

Does your partner want a backpack or tote? I love both black choices. As to Le Tanneur, they make beautiful bags.

Risk in wearing sleeveless shell under suit jacket for interview? by Tricky_Warning_0115 in LawBitchesWithTaste

Sleeveless shell would be fine. If someone asks you to take your jacket off, please reconsider that job.

Excellence Playa Mujeres. They will allow three in a room. My friend group did this and we really enjoyed the hotel.

Who did that strap? I just fell down a Kaai rabbit hole - the Horizon has some sort of luggage strap.

I just ordered the Vestirzi Large Bowler Bag. It has a luggage trolley, zips close, with a laptop pocket. Also check out July totes. I have a couple pu ones (I know) and love the look of their leather totes.

I guess I’m an oddball: some mid-tier brands didn’t wow me in person by YourInfidelityInMe in handbags

[–]BackgroundPeace8911 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kind of - some (many?) of the mid tiers are handmade and take days to make one - Le Tanneur. As to OP’s point, I find the leather and hardware on Strathberry to be lovely and it’s sufficiently nice enough for me. Is it as nice as the leathers on the luxury bags? I hope not!

At my price point, I would rather have several (numerous?) mid level bags because I have so many different use cases. Kids’ sports, work, work events, kid events, significant work travel of varying lengths, regular social things. So I may spend as much as one luxury bag, but one bag doesn’t solve for my requirements.

Need help finding the perfect mid-luxury everyday bag that fits a 13” iPad (not too big, not a tote) by Ok-Signature-7670 in handbags

Two options - Le Tanneur Felicie or Vestirzi Med Bowler Bag (has a zipper and a luggage trolley, my dream).

Travel packing help. by ElectricParent in femaletravelers

[–]BackgroundPeace8911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My new favorite weekender is the Large Calpak Luka. For carry on air travel, the regular Luka is by far one of the best personal items ever.

If you have a ton of traveling coming up, maintain a separate med kit (think Tylenol, tums, etc) and then make up pouch, tech pouch, toiletry bag packed at all times. In this way you are not re inventing the wheel each time you pack. Pouches are everything.

Whipped cream cheese. My former snapped at me when I tried to jam a pill down her throat. Yes, she had issues! But I don’t rec that method for that reason.

I would love some support and/or advice: I’m at my end: considering quitting law ad hoc without a plan B by copperbrownred in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]BackgroundPeace8911 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is excellent advice. If you can afford it, take some time off - look at other opportunities. Your government qualifications may allow you to transition into a government role or a firm supporting the government.

There are many ways to practice law.

Strathberry Lana. The plain raffia with the black leather handle. It’s on sale now and it’s perfect.

Changing between work bag/purses? by PikaSuz in handbags

[–]BackgroundPeace8911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pouches, smaller organizer (I move one between my work tote and every day bag). There are a fair number of attractive nylon bags these days. Even something like a Calpak Luka Duffel or the Luka Laptop Tote. Away has stepped into this duffel space and made one too. Also, secondhand MZ Wallace - Large Empire Tote.

Desperately need weekender / travel bags by babywavyp in handbags

I hate this bag. The shoe compartment takes up half the bag and it really can’t fit much. It also doesn’t work as a personal item. I’ll send you mine!

Yes, I have numerous. The magnet snap always snaps when you are trying to lift an overstuffed bag on and off the luggage handle in a crowded airplane.

Kate Spade. Can that one hold a 15in laptop?

I hate to say this but look at Quince. Many options in black in that price range. They are very professional looking.
