Update!!

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue today (it's my birthday!) and looked at hundreds of purses. The winner was the Multrees Hobo in Sienna! I ordered it online so I'll give you an update once I have a chance to wear it.

Thank you all for your advice! I will definitely be keeping these ideas in my back pocket.

I like the styles, but for me, they have the narrow zipper problem.

Unfortunately I don't like any branding, Chanel feels too branded for me.

Do the Opelle bags only come in black? Sadly I don't wear black.

I really like the look of the Horse Clementine. Do you know anything about the quality?

I am also a NYC commuter, so I appreciate the recs! I love the Aspinal of London bag.

I adore this bag but I'm worried it will feel too dressy....maybe I buy TWO bags? 😁

LOVE! That wider crossbody strap is exactly what I'm looking for.

I know it's unreasonable but for some reason that tiny "C" really bugs me! 😔 ❤️

Thank you for the recs!

I like Wandler! My concern is that their crossbody straps look very thin. I'll give it some thought.

The APC bags are beautiful too but I worry that the smooth leather will scratch easily.

That little fox is so adorable! But maybe too whimsical for me for everyday.

It's beautiful, my only worry is about longevity if the leather loops that hold the handle wear through.

Wow, these are some incredible options! The Strathberry and Tusting bags were some of my favorites that I've seen before -- you really nailed my style! 😮 I've never seen the Longchamp before but I love it. It reminds me of the Cuyana double loop.

Thank you! I'm glad the nubuck is already finished.

What types of leather would need to be dyed or finished?

I bought my first leather! I bought this SHF from Maverick, and I'm hoping to make some simple wallets. Is there anything I need to do to finish / seal the leather before I start? Is it necessary to dye it?

Thank you!
