Hi. I am new to this forum and i :heart: it :biggrin::woohoo:.

Btw, I need some advices......

I have a 3yrs old autistic boy to chase around everytime we went for traveling therefore I need a 'multi-functional' bag.
A bag that can be wear it in many ways such as over the shoulder, crossbody, handcarry etc.

My hubby has limited my budget to $400 for my 30th Birthday.
Any recommendation??

Thanks in advance ^_^
 
These are slightly over budget, but I figure if you like the style it shouldn't be too hard to find a site that has coupon codes.

My pick would be the LP Dylan http://www.lpcollection.com/product.php?productid=593&cat=45&page=1

It looks very versatile, rich soft leather that is perfect for an everyday bag, looks solid and hardy, and comes in multiple colors. I love this bag, if I had it in my budget right now I would snap it up in a second, but I settled for the matching wallet :P

Two more in different styles, one is punkier one is more classic. They've both got long enough straps to wear crossbody and shoulder, the Botkier has satchel handles as well.:

Botkier Tao (this bag looks so hot) http://www.endless.com/botkier-Tao-Convertible-Satchel/dp/B002QB151Y

How about a Coach Hailey? $298 (in Canada, not sure where you are), has a removable crossbody strap and the main strap is a length that can be hand-carried, looped over your arm or worn on the shoulder. It holds quite a bit of stuff (although the leather ones can get heavy if you stuff them too full). It comes in several colors of leather and several kinds of fabric and is a hobo style.
 
I love my Burberry crossbosy Dryden. It retailes for 395, but I bought it new on the bay for 265. The only thng is it is only a crossbody bag. No hand held option so I don't know if it will work for you. I do love the pocket on the outside.
 
I recently purchased my first Hayden-Harnett -- a Burke Satchel -- mainly because I had been hunting for a dark purple or aubergine. I'm used to paying for Chanel, Prada and Gucci, so this was an excellent purchasing experience, and I've decided that I really like the Burke Satchel a lot. Price was $370.00 which was $300 off the regular price.

If you want a handbag made of very nice leather that can be worn over the shoulder, cross-body or carried in hand, then you might want to look at this handbag. It has detachable metal handles, and also a sturdy strap which can be lengthened or shortened . . . and is also detachable. LOTS of pockets (zip and magnetic) on the outside, so this handbag is perfect for traveling. Size is perfect (for me) at about 15 x 10 x 4, and I don't think it's very heavy even after I filled it.

Here's a link for a black Hayden-Harnett Burke Satchel, which is $335.00. There are other colours, including the more-expensive aubergine.

Whatever handbag you choose, I hope you will model it for us!
