I had to return several Christmas and Bday gifts DH got me for various reasons. He’s getting annoyed I haven’t replaced them so I’m trying to find a new handbag which was one of the items. I would like to keep it under $500 but will go higher for the right thing. I feel like I have a good selection of colors and sizes so anything goes. Not looking for anything specific.
My favorite bag right now is my work backpack (Tumi Voyageur) which was kind of a splurge, but is not at all sexy. I only wish the side pockets were deeper for a travel coffee mug or my water bottle.
DH got me a black coach handbag a while ago. I’ve had it at least 6 years and still use it daily. They don’t make the exact same kind but they are similar.
Another vote for a crossbody, and I am partial to my Tory Burch at that price. The one I have is a gray color that cleans off really well and works throughout the year. It holds my sunglasses, phone, CCs, and a few other things without being bulky. Mine is a couple years old so I can't link it, but I am sure my preference of look is different from others.
