Do wet want some new challenges in August?
How about wearing one non-black neutral per week (whatever is a neutral for you)

I believe some of the contemporary brands have camera bags that would offer a good alternative. Dooney's all weather leather is a good option and as @whateve said, their bags are sturdy and long-lasting.
My Pochette Metis has become my favorite crossbody bag because it's roomier than a camera bag (prefer the size to my Gucci camera/shoulder bag), and I like the extra space as well as the small top handle. However, it does have a flap versus a zip so that's something to consider if you prefer a zip. Coach had a bag that was very similar (can't remember what it was called - Cassie?) but I don't know if they make it anymore. If they do still make it, it would be a good option for you to consider, as long as you like that style of bag.
I have a Cassie 19, which is a little smaller than the regular Cassie. It is an easy carefree bag. I'm pretty sure they still make both sizes, or they would have it at the outlet.
Sparkle- Qvc has a large Leather crossbody with accessories from Pom Pom London. Looks Like a Great knock about bag. It is their today’s Special Value. I am Not familiar with this brand though.
My minds not on fashion right now but I did try to use rarely used bags.
Blakes (now vintage but bought new) belt bag in animal-print hair-calf this weekend.
I know it may seem more of an Autumn/Winter bag but I actually hate to get fur/hair-calf wet.
Today, alligator Biagini and calf bag (around 1980 - inherited) worn cross-body to take contemporary candle holders (hate candles atm) and 2 x early 1960s suits to the charity shop. Beautiful bag. I am glad to see they are still producing exotics including ostrich python and crocodile. If I go to Italy, I would definitely be looking at a new one, Italian skill and beauty without the Gucci and Prada price tags.

It sounds like it was a marvelous day! ❤️
I l.o.v.e a well made bag - this is gorgeous!
I’m very glad to read DH is recovering well, sending you both hugs.
I should leave you with a link to Biagini: https://biagini1968.com/en/collecti...bNS2PXmiurheQ9OXz8Zj3sqprtQkX-_lctSYSpb-KWi8F
Tory just put this on sale. Going to give it a try.
I see that they’re calling it a nylon small messenger now too… my receipt says it’s a Virginia… anywho - I thought I’d point that out!
Hopefully when it comes it’s as good as yours.
I have been pulling bags I have not used in ages. It has been fun. I wish the rain would stop so I could try more of them. I had picked up a different bag. It was a Dr. Martens bag. My husband saw it in the car on the way home and for the first time ever said a bag was hideous. I was going to use it as an alternate rain bag. He doesn't normally react to my bags at all, unless they are GFG because he loves the smell of their leather. I showed him a picture of the Tory that I later ordered and he said that was nicer than the Dr. Martens. I temporarily listed the Dr. Martens thinking it wouldn't sell and then decide which bag I liked more once the Tory arrived. I did that because it was going to be the only slightly sunny day for pictures. Well the Dr. Marten sold and I still think it was cute. The strap was a bit hard on it, but the top handles would have been comfortable. Did you ever let a significant other effect how you feel about an item?
