I have a milestone birthday coming up and am looking for a new designer bag...except that I can't decide what type of bag. I am looking for something timeless and classic, not trendy. I tend to gravitate to large, tote style bags but I am thinking more in the lines of an evening/going out bag for this, however, I am not completely sure because I always seem to carry around a million things. I also actually don't go out often (lol) so maybe something more practical would be better. As you can see, I am all over the place. I have a few LV bags so I am thinking something else, but open to it if you have an amazing rec. I don't have a true budget but thinking something like $2-4k. As you can see, I am all over the place, so give me your best suggestions!
I have been looking at a YSL Sac Du Jour - it fits your price range and looks to be a timeless/classic bag but isn't a evening bag. They do have some choices for evening bags as well, but I can't speak to them since I know I'd rarely use it so I haven't looked into them.
You can wear it crossbody (which I never do) or as a shoulder bag. It's really sturdy and does have some weight to it, so I don't feel like it's this super delicate bag that I'm going to ruin by actually using.
I can fit an iPhone 12, small card/money holder, standard set of keys (like a few keys, not a janitor's key ring lol), lip gloss and chap stick comfortably...Still with some room available. If you want a full-size wallet to fit, this def wouldn't be the right bag.
Anyway, I love this bag so much. YSL makes some absolutely beautiful bags, and one day I'm hoping to get another larger tote bag.

I've been eyeing a few YSL bags so I'm happy to see so many recs for them. arielroux, I love that one you shared! bugmeetsworld, I'd love a Chanel, but I think they are just a little too high for me (unless I am looking at the wrong styles). I will check out the re-sale market though. I'm a little worried about buying second hand online.

JuliaRoseBoston on IG sells a ton of Chanel and has a great reputation.

OpulentHabits on IG is another reseller.
thank you! I would have never thought of buying from IG. Is it secure and backed if there is something wrong with the bag when you receive it?
purplepenguin7, most of them utilize either an online payment platform because they also have a website or paypal goods and services. I will say unless you get something authenticated after purchase and it's fake, buying secondhand doesn't really have returns because you changed your mind.

ssmjlm, I was thinking more of like damage that wasn't noticeable in photos or something like that. I would feel more comfortable being able to see it and examine it myself. I did see that Opulent Habits has a physical store near me so that's a good option to keep in mind!

You would have to buy secondhand, but I think a Celine Trio might be a good option for you. It can be used as a clutch or crossbody and looks good with both casual and dressier looks. I have the larger size and more than you would expect fits inside.
I bought two LV neverfull bags this week because I’m insane. I’ve been lusting over the neverfull mm epi leather in Galet, but it was oos everywhere, so I bought the neverfull mm in black empreinte, which is gorgeous. And then my contact at LV was able to find the epi leather, so I got it too. At least both great neutrals!
I know not evening bags, but fancier totes than basic neverfull at least.

those both do look beautiful! I already have a neverful that I barely use though so I definitely want something else style and structure wise.

Another vote for the YSL medium envelope. It's top of the list of what I want to buy myself for my 40th next year. I was in a store recently and the black with the gold hardware is so beautiful in person.
On the higher end of your budget- I'd love a Dior Saddle bag or Lady Dior Lite (but that one might be over $4k)
If you want something that kind of blurs the day to evening line - what about the LV Pochette Metis? I have it in the blue empreinte and I use it for both day and evening.
As for resellers: I’ve co-signed a few with LVLenka on IG and I also follow Fashionphile and Julia Rose Boston. Redeluxe on IG has a ton of Chanel if you go that route.
