Can't find the bag I want - black crossbody/messenger
Permalink Closed

I am despreately seeking a crossbody/messenger style black leather bag.  I'd love the leather to be nice and soft, not stiff or patent, with a rounder shape rather than too square.  Also, no white stitching or studs. Here is sort of what I am thinking, although none of them hit the mark exactly.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Oh, and less than $300 would be ideal.

Please tell me I am not being too picky!

I actually like the last one the best. I remember seeing one at Macy's that was very similar.

Wow they do look a lot alike!  I read that Heidi's was by Roots Canada.  Thanks so much for posting that one, but yeah, I am just not a fan of white stitching.  Just opened up my Anthro catalog and saw this which says it has a detatchable crossbody strap.  And it's blue....but maybe that would be a more fun neutral than black?  Hmmm.

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.  BTW, this would be my everyday bag.  I have a cheapie from Target that is messenger style and I have become so addicted to having my hands free.  Therefore, I'd like to upgrade and get a good leather one.

Oh...the UO one is great!  I love the Tanos too...the leather looks a little stiff...I wonder how it would break in.  There is a boutique here that sells that brand (I guess you can't order online?) but I looked at their website and loved all the bags!  Aaaah! 

Thanks so much for helping...

i have the older version of this, and it's so deliciously slouchy.  the strap is adjustable.





both $480, but use GRECHEN for 20% off at lunaboston
