A Cole Haan Triple-Zip Satchel from their Village line a few years back. You really can stuff enough into it to set up a wilderness camp, and keep it all well-organized. It will even fit a tablet, a couple books, maybe some work papers and lunch. Nice leather that can look either casual or semi-dressy.
 
Really hard to decide...think I'd either go my Birkin (black togo GHW) or my LV Speedy B 30 in Damier. And I'm going to call my LV SC MM Slim Clutch my 'wallet' (which is how I use it most days) for evenings, as the Birkin and the Speedy B are both too big for evening :p
 
I highly recommend it...the quality is phenomenal and I love that they make it in their shop in New England. I had to wait four weeks for mine because it is a custom color, but it was totally worth it.

If you don't mind, can you tell me what color your Zipper Satchel is? I just ordered one in Chocolate and I'm waiting for it to be made.

Mine is Chestnut. It was not an available stock color when I got mine in Nov, but I see that it is now available. I look forward to hearing how you like yours - be sure to let me know. I had the toughest time choosing a color, but I am very happy with it. A small tote is next on my list.

These are awesome bags. I regret letting mine go.

Would love to see pics at some point it you can. I'm thinking about getting one later this year, but there aren't many pictures out there of it, other than ads and stock photos. I was thinking of navy of a brown.

Beautiful bag-I can definitely see why this would be someone's "one."
 
Sure! Will post some tonight!

I also had a really hard time choosing a color. I wanted the chocolate, navy, hunter green, and cordovan. But, since I LOVE chocolate brown, I decided to go with that. I'm glad that you are very happy with yours. I was nervous buying it sight unseen since there aren't that many pictures or reviews of the satchel in the internet world.

I'm probably going to do a "reveal" (really just a couple of pics) in the 2014 resolution thread once I get my satchel. But, it's probably going to be about another 2 months before I get mine delivered to me.

Wow...that is a long wait. I had to wait about 4-4.5 weeks. They must be very busy. The chocolate is just gorgeous. What a great choice! I am a sucker for a rich brown leather. It is my favorite thing, especially in a satchel.
 
I couldn't live with just one bag. I need a large bag for the day and a tiny one for nighttime events and functions. I could live with lv neverfull and chanel woc, but not just one. They serve different purposes, I can't see myself ever using a tote at a wedding or something and I couldn't use a small bag all the time. So no I can't live with one bag, but I can live with two. Wait.... Technically the chanel woc is a wallet not a bag, so I can survive with one bag....LV neverfull.
 
My black Balenciaga City with RGGH :heart:. It has become my workhorse, I use it daily for my job and also for travel. It's also very discreet, no one seems to know what it is, and I'm in/near a major city.
