What do you guys think of a Coach Pleated hobo? I love the look of pleats and this style is a classic!

FOUND IT TODAY!

My new Francesco Biasia Black Lambskin Woven Satchel!

The straps are great, side pockets are woven (see pic 2) and the inside is funky and crazy just the way I like it! I LOVE IT! It was $101.15 but it's lambskin and well worth it. It was marked $119 at TJMAXX and there was some black spots (2) on the inside so she took 15% off! I was able to get the black spots out with a Magic Eraser! Took 2 seconds.

I <3 my new bag!

I have issues with my back and neck when bags are too heavy. Any suggestions? I feel like getting a new bag, but don't want to just get anything. When I impulse buy I always change my mind and end up taking it back or selling it. <----I am tired of that cycle.

SO HERE IS WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP:

I'm a teacher, so nothing outrageous. Under $200 would be perfect.

I love stitching, grommets, leather or fabric, one handle preferably, must fit on shoulder, and lightweight. I would also like it to be black.

There is a black patent leather tote by Michael Kors which is really popular and cute. It's like $198.00.
