It looks like it’s also similar in size to the Alexander Wang Rockie. I used to have that bag and the size actually was pretty good for me, so now I’m even more tempted...

Would definitely love to see photos when you get it! Although, with all the self-rationalizing I’m doing here, I may end up pulling the trigger before that happens!

I wondered about that. I've noticed a ton of sales happening lately, from almost all of the brands I like.
I have been semi-drooling over that nightshade color for a while and couldn't believe that it was that price point. I never thought I was a blue bag fan but when this one arrives I will own 9 blue bags -- more than the number of black bags I own. I'm hoping I like the shape of it too, and it looks like a great day bag. I love satchels with a bit of slouch so I'm hoping this one does that with time.

Edit -- it's the mini fill n buckle:

I pulled the trigger on the Mini Fill N Buckle yesterday as well. Shouldn't have done it in these uncertain financial times but the price allowed me to try out Deer Nappa without a huge investment... Already have a ton of blue bags but I wear jeans a lot so they do get used.

I can certainly understand how these prices are hard to resist. You will LOVE that leather.

I feel the same way--i have wanted something in deer nappa for so long and DP is legendary for their quality. exceptional price at a time when it does feel weird to part with money.
 
It is difficult to find a veggie tanned tote that is small enough to use as an every day bag for those of us who do not carry much. The Colonel Littleton Wayfarer tote is perfect. The unlined suede interior has a large zippered pocket, two slip pockets with a pen holder slot between them. The strap has a 16 inch drop which I love! It is full grain buffalo leather which is so unique--very rugged, but still lightweight. He also offers it in cowhide as well. The buffalo grain is gorgeous. The bag was $388 in buffalo leather but is less expensive in cowhide.

It is certainly not a "designer" bag, but if you are in the market for well made tote that will alst a lifetime and age beautifully, you may want to take a look at these.

That's lovely! And I like that it is made in the USA!

Charles and Keith is one of my favourite bag brands (they also do shoes) ! They are a well-known Singaporean brand and they are very affordable. However, most of their stuff aren't made from leather. They do have a leather line called "the Charles and Keith collection". They have many nice designs and more funky ones too. I think they would be a good brand if you wanted to try a new particular style of bag that you're not sure about yet.
In terms of quality, I do think they are quite good. The stitching is really nice and the faux leather material feels really smooth and durable too. I have a friend who owns many luxury bags i.e LV and she told me how surprised she was at their bags because she thought they felt really nice so maybe try it out!
 
I would not call it a beautiful bag, but it is the best everyday bag I have found. Not that I don't love all of my Massaccesi bags, but they are too pretty to throw around or wear in the rain.
You just reminded me of Massaccesi. I am wondering if anyone has heard from Marco recently? Italy is still struggling very much with the Covid-19.
