Do we somehow have completely different Frye Cameron Satchels? Mine does have metal rings on the sides where I attach the strap and the leather on mine is really thick.

That's weird... I got it at Nordstrom so it's legit... When did you get yours? Maybe mine was an earlier version?

I think the leather's substantial but I think it would break in and be a bit more flexible. I've just had bags with thicker leather...

I just got mine at Macy's about a month ago. Maybe they upgraded the model.

Wow, where did you find these sites, bagolicious? The last two have some real nice bags. Bagsrcandy - love that belted hobo.

BTW, the iPad auto correct wants to turn your user name into 'bagel idiots' :greengrin:

I've shopped Peterman's for years as, if I remember clearly, there was a store in Newport Fashion Island (Newport Beach) back in either the 80s or 90s.

As for Cydwoq, the company is 15 minutes from me. The owner is Armenian and designs the shoes himself. I think he's educated as an architect.

As for Bagsrcandy, the store is just over in Santa Monica.

I forgot to add: www.pedshoes.com. They're also great and have shoes and handbags.

Thanks for your help, Sue. I had an old leather LLBean backpack, weighed a ton but would last beyond the apocalypse!

Heck, I probably don't even belong on these forums: I own no LV, no Bal, no Chloe....nothing over $500. I just appreciate a well-designed bag made of quality materials. I'd rather have a two dozen of the afore-mentioned than 2 LV monogrammed bags. And I'm a leather junkie, pretty leather, thick and sturdy leather. The only bag I learned about here on tPF that I truly lust after is the Proenza Schouler PS1. But I'll never buy it. But I love the style. Low key, minimal hardware, good leather: right up my alley.

I was about to suggest PS1 in camel colour, I also saw suede....aaaaahhh, but price range is rediculous

of course you belong to this forum, everyone does, as long as you long for a bag, wish to find it, ask for help, any price range..this is what is great about tPF, there is a place for everything and always someone to answer your tread

I know exactly what you want, trust me, I have not found it myself...exactly that same....I am a prof and would love to have Indi's type of bag..I have never seen something like that, nor could I explain it ...not even PS1 would do really (even if it were affordable)

I have Cydwoq boots and they are a miracle...amazingly quirky and cool, and rare

What's kind of funny is that this:
http://www.toddscostumes.com/costum...ags-belts-holsters-ect/indiana-jones-satchel/
Is the real Indiana Jones satchel. I never paid much attention to the films and made an incorrect assumption that the Indy bag was a beat up leather bag.

So I guess I should amend my search to: Looking for a distressed leather satchel with front pockets that doesn't look like a briefcase. So many of this style bag look the same. I'm looking for one just different somehow.
Scaramanga bags are the right style, I wish they had front pockets, though.
http://www.scaramangashop.co.uk/fashion/leather-bags/cat_13.html

But what's been so cool are all the other great bags and sites I've learned about thanks to all the friendly people here. I hope to see more suggestions.

The Coach Field Bag looks like a winner and I'm really liking the Belted hobo from Bagsrcandy. I emailed them to ask for more photos and I hope they will respond. I can't buy a bag from just one photo and not much of a description. Sure wish I could see this one IRL. It's one of those neat bags you won't see anyone else carrying.

Another great suggestion was MimsMaine on Etsy. Her bags are wonderful.

Thanks to everyone who has responded. I truly appreciate all the help!

Hey Vesna,
How would you describe what you're looking for? I've been having trouble putting it into words.

Hmmmm. I got mine last year. Wonder if I can trade it in or something. Side metal rings would be awesome...

They must've upgraded... The Nordies pics show the side rings but even the Macy's pics show the top attachment still. I might want to go back and look I guess. Nordies doesn't look like they have the taupe any more though. I wonder if some of the newer colors have side rings but the older ones don't... Glad you chimed in about this or I would've never known!

OMG, I'm in love with Scaramanga now. Did you look at the Satchel & Travel bag tabs? Most of those do seem to have front pockets. Just the Messengers don't.

I love these two options from Belen Echandia. They are both made with incredible leathers and are a bit dressier versions of this idea--I like that they are both so versatile...

BE Dark Grey Take Me Anywhere and BE Whiskey Barcelona.
