Any suggestions for a small messenger bag?

[tuna lala]

I'm trying to look for a good messenger bag to go shopping, doing errands, whenever I feel like my hands should be free. I wouldn't want anything too big. So far the only decent thing I've included in my options are theswing packs from Coach and possibly the LV Mini Lin Danube, which is kind of pushing it since I don't like it except for its size. The leather one from Coach looks pretty decent. Something like this:

But then..I've seen so many negative comments here on how this looks. How come?

Or any other brand suggestions? I don't really have a price limit as long as it's not like $5,000!

How about the Linea Pelle Dylan Cross Body Clutch? Some colors are 112.50 and others are 86.25. Sometimes, they show up at the Saks outlet. I bought one there last week for 39.00

Tignanello has a bunch. I just picked up one at Macy's for about $38 yesterday.

^ I like the black one-- I almost bought it before. What I don't like about the brown and tan ones is the contrasting strap.

What about Prada? Does it have to be leather?

 

[tuna lala]

claireZk, no it does not have to be leather, as long as it's sturdy. I looked at the nylon ones, they never really appealed to me, other than that I didn't see anything from Prada.

Oh my gosh, so many suggestions! thanks a bunch! I'll be nitpicking at each of the replies here tonight! Like right now! Hehehe. Seems like there is a lot of MJ's.

msterling, that is such a good bargain!!!

How about something different - made from neckties?
