Hi everyone…

So, I’ve been incredibly excited about finding a preloved Claudia, in either white mono or black mono print.
Found one on Designer Exchange in white mono, and instantly hit the buy button! Literally screamed when I saw her!

But, now she’s here, although the bag herself is in great shape, she’s a bit smaller than I anticipated…

So, what I want is something that still looks like a handbag, but has room for my iPad Air, a book, notebook maybe….
With handles that are big enough to carry over my shoulder, but small enough to carry on my arm, if I want to.
Also a secured top.

I thought about the Multipli-Cite, but the more I looked at it, the more I saw DIAPER BAG, and now CANNOT UNSEE that haha!! :shocked:

My most used bags right now are Mulberry Bayswaters (the original size / shape)…

So, really, what I want is a Mulberry Bayswater made by LV hahaha! (I think I've become snobby about Mulberry, now I've seen what I can get on the preloved market in a 'better' brand for what I pay for new Bayswaters....)

I’ve always saved the higher end brands for evening bags, but now I’ve discovered a reliable / authenticated preloved market, I’ve been looking to branch out!

I was so convinced I’d love Claudia (in fairness to her, she's gorgeous - just not a size of bag I'd use), so I’m feeling a bit disappointed, and thought I’d turn here for your ideas on which bags might be good options for my ‘wants’…

Thanks so much, gorgeousnesses!!
