I'm the same way. I now count everything except luggage. It's helped me get rid of some cheapy bags I never use but we're taking up room.

Sigh on the pouch. I never mind spending on things I love (at some sort of discount of course since I never pay full retail). But things I don't like such as watches, scarves, and pouches? It kills me! I looked at preloved Chanel pouches again. That is neeeeeever happening. I wish I could find a pouch that is cute and a little silly. I think pouches could be a place I could have some fun. Maybe I'll look at Kate Spade. I need two: one about 6"x5" x 1" for makeup and lotion. The other the same size or just a teeny bit bigger for pen, keys, bluetooth, etc.

My workhorses. Yep. The bar is very high. I want them to be some of my favorite bags since I'll carry them a lot. Also sturdy, timeless, premier and very low profile on the branding. And I do want to keep the price of each under $2k after discounts (sale, preloved, etc.) I have a new 13" laptop so that helps with size. I'll look at Tom Ford.

Sparkle -

I love Lilly Pulitzer pouches. They are colorful, bright, and often quirky. The patterns wears well and hides dirt. When you peak in my bags it looks like the rainbow exploded. Makes me smile :)

DC,
From what I've seen it appears to be a small market for it. I think because it's discreet the masses pass it over kwim. See them discounted 30% on resale market. When I got my brown one it was new with tags and I ended up paying half. It was originally 3k got it for 1500. The seller listed higher but I was able to neg. also it's still in stores for full price.

The outlet I sometimes go to have one of his stores there but have not gone in. My stepdad love his glasses but did not realize there were bags in there. Will check it out next time we make the drive.

Finally received my Black Friday order from Massaccesi. I had it delivered to France since a sister was going there. And now the bag is here!! It's the midi Minerva in Red Cherry nappa leather.

Here are modshots. The bag has not softened/slouched yet since it is straight from the box. It's also empty in the pictures.

I almost forgot I ordered a red bag and actually inquired about a red Balenciaga Neo Folk yesterday from a local seller. I think this Massaccesi will work for a big crossbody bag during travels and I will not need that Bal!
Btw, this is my office uniform made from a local fabric that is close to linen.
ETA: Oops, sorry, I think I attached the picture 2x.

Very pretty! Great red color and I love the versatility of the style!

Okay, these pouches aren't the exact size that you're looking for, but I wanted to share them anyway. They are from one of my favorite brands and the leather and workmanship are really good for the price. The small pouch has been discontinued and there is only one color left, but both of the pouches are currently on sale (at least in some colors).
