I currently carry a Loro Piana Medium globe bag, which I love, mainly because the leather is sturdy, and it's big enough to fit my makeup bag, wallets, cell phone, various papers, etc.

However, it's so darn heavy to begin with, that by adding all the stuff inside, it's giving me some shoulder pains. I do try to lighten it up, but recently, the leather stitching is coming out from the handles, and is ripping, so I'm going to have to get it fixed. In the meantime, I'm looking for a alternate one, so that I can switch off. Any recommendations for a large bag, in the price range of $600 to $1200, that is sturdy, yet fashionable for everyday work?

Much thanks~
 
i'm not a louis fan, but i'd say a speedy! say a speedy 30 or 35? i don't know what that means other than it's in your price range and they're cute!

There have been some good threads on this lately. See below. You'll also find more threads by searching for "work" "office" "laptop" or "tote" (even if you don't want a laptop tote!)

Here's one thread where I posted about two -- with pics -- that I think would be great -- the Botkier Sasha Duffle ($600) and the Belen Echandia "Take Me Anywhere" ($700)-- : http://forum.purseblog.com/handbags-and-purses/office-bag-any-advice-114658.html
 
P.S. I'm sorry to hear the Loro Piana Medium Globe is so darn heavy...I was considering one...but I don't think so anymore. Thanks for the heads up.
How about a Mulberry Bayswater? Very stylish and not too heavy...

Thanks so much ViciousBliss! However, 9/10 bags you suggested on eluxury were sold out when I clicked on the links. Also, I forgot to mention that I prefer should bags since I'm really not used to wrist bags.
