I was thinking of treating myself for surviving 2020, but haven't looked at bags in a while because of my current work environment being pretty anti status bag. Budget would be ~$1000 or under, not opposed to pre-loved or slightly "outdated" bags or waiting for a sale. I also have a $400 credit at Nordstrom that could be tacked on.
Currently my everyday is a small brown Madewell transport tote that is looking well loved. I also have a light pink chloe drew, a grey kate spade satchel, a mansur gavriel brown tote and their black/red bucket bag that was probably my second most loved bag behind the madewell.
My current work is very creative/ design driven, but my department is entirely men. The women in other departments regularly make fun of people who wear overly flashy designer things to work (gucci belts, hermes evelyn, chanel flaps) so I am hesitant to get anything formal or with huge logos that like the current gucci/ysl camera bags. The senior women wear Bogetta Veneta woven bags, a Loewe puzzle bag or relatively unbranded but nice work totes. Kate spade is somewhat popular with the younger people, but I'm not particularly excited by them ATM..
Thoughts? What bag would you get if you had $1000 burning a hole in your pocket?
