Default You have $1k to buy a new black bag

Preferably shoulder but can be a top handle with shoulder strap - and most imporantly nothing too large - medium size at most. What to get??? And the $1k can go a bit higher but not too much!

Chanel grand shopping tote. It's gorgeous. If not that, I'd get the Bottega Veneta that Jen Aniston is glued to.

Jen's BV is probably closer to $2500.

I'd get the Ferragamo Marisa. I just bought this bag recently and am loving it! It goes from day to night, and works with casual to dressy attire.

That's beautiful but too big (19" wide). What about a Gucci Horsebit Hobo in Medium?

For me, it's the LV epi alma. This is a very classic bag, which should last me & go through trends. For half the price, you could also consider a coach carly in black leather. This is actually a really nice & comfortable bag, though on the large-ish side. Good luck--hope you find something that suits you!
