I've been without a black purse for too long. The one I was using was stolen when my apartment was burglarized and I haven't replaced it because I haven't found anything I wanted to commit to. Now I'm in need of a black purse that is polished enough for work situations and big enough to carry a few papers/iPad, but not boring. I tend to like simpler designs. A cross body strap would be great because I'll likely be taking the subway, but isn't a deal breaker. Looking for $300/under but want quality as well.
