Buttery, long time no speak. Have you looked at ebags and zappos already? What size satchel are you looking for?

This Cole Haan Paige satchel is small:

Hi passerby! You helped me so much the last time I needed a bag; I was hoping you'd show up! *HUG* I want something medium sized: not too big, not too small. A nice, everyday satchel bag with a zipper that would go nicely with jeans and casual work clothes...It would be great if I can get it over my shoulder.

Right now, I am carrying this Cole Haan bag in black and I love the style and size:

This bag is so perfect for me...The quality of the metal and leather are great. I wish they had this in a cognac brown color; I definitely would have bought a second one if they did. If anyone can help me find something similar to the style/quality (or better) of this bag, it would be greatly appreciated. I have looked everywhere and am having no luck...If I find the perfect color and size in that price range, the metal hardware looks cheap. If I find the perfect size and great hardware, the bag doesn't come in the color that I want.

I've never been into quilted leather before, but if this bag had a zipper, I'd buy it! It's very pretty!

Okay...I was on zappos all night last night looking at satchels and I didn't see any of these! You are so much better at this than me!

Buttery, that Cole Haan bag of yours is cute! Good luck in your search - I'll keep an eye out for a zippered box satchel in cognac

A pity that this is not in cognac and can't be carried over the shoulder:

Try the Aleya Ny Sienna Satchel in Chocolate. You can't beat the price for the quality. I just carried it all over Rome and it held tons of stuff in style!

Bebe34, great recommendation! Any chance we can see a pic of you modelling your bag? Thanks.

Passerby - Would love to post a pic, but that would require my figuring out how to get it out of my camera and into the computer. In the meantime, here's a pic from Lucky mag to give you an idea of how it looks. I really LOVE this bag. It's large but not overwhelming on me (I'm 5'7" and a sz 4-6).

Kooba Ginger, on sale is generally under $300, in Chestnut. Yummy.

Buttery, how do you feel about Dutchy bags?

This is in mocca (I have a poor sense of colour so can't tell how different this is from cognac), is probably too big, but still ...
