help me find a casual brown day purse. UPDATE
Permalink Closed

I want a less formal brown or camel leather purse. The only brown purse I currently own is my LV Speedy 25 and it's not always large enough or casual enough for my purposes..


I saw this Hayden Harnett one in Lucky and I really like it, but I have difficulty swallowing the $460 price tag (mostly because I have difficulty swallowing price tags as a whole...)


Orsay Printed Linen Satchel front View


I also REALLY like the Rebecca Minkoff Morning after bag but am not jumping because I am scared of having a bag with cruddy hardware at that price point...


CLICK FOR LARGER VIEW


After that, I'm kind of clueless? I'd love to hear some opinions on bags that have worked for y'all.


Any other suggestions? I definitely want something that's pretty casual, large enough to lug a day's worth of essentials, and fairly structured.


thanks!!!


ETA: see below for final choice.

How about the Kooba Sienna?  It is beautiful in both camel and chocolate and it translates perfectly from casual day to chic evening.  Not to mention it holds a ton.  I remember last year at the Bon Jovi concert Vanessa had two pairs of flips flops among many other things in hers and you never would have known it, HA!!


As for the bags you posted I would pass on them both.  The first seems a bit too juvenile (which I know is always a look you prefer to avoid) and the second looks too cheap, JMO.

I totally 2nd Farrah's suggestion of the Kooba Sienna.  I have one and love it.  It's so versatile. 


My other recommendation is the Bulga Pudding flap tote.  As you know, I just got the small one a couple mos ago and I'm so in love with it.  The small holds a lot (I can even fit shoes in it), but it also comes in a larger size.

I don't know if this is casual enough, but it's on sale at Active Endeavors for $292, down from $583.

thanks girls for all your suggestions! they're greatly appreciated!


I stared at my requirements and all of a sudden I thought *Paddington*


Chloe Paddington - Whiskey Satchel


...and that is what I now own! eeep!


I figured that I can afford it now, I've saved up a lot from my new job, and I know I won't be nearly as happy with a mid-range bag than if I just went and leapt for the really good one.

Congrats! What color is that? There was a Tan Paddington that kept popping up on sale at Net-A-Porter, but yours looks like a darker color.
