Looking for a lightweight leather hobo style handbag for under $500 if possible, Nothing too fancy , so I can just carry around without babying it even when it's 90 plus degrees, 95% humidity....
I looked at coach, Michael kors and doony & Bourke and all the leathers feel so hard and thin , however I don't really want a very slouchy bag either.
I looked at longchamp's website and all their bags say out of stock.
Any ideas?
I prefer a cool white rather than warm if possible.
I'm trying to replace an old coach hobo that is slowly turning sticky and getting a weird chemical smell.

This is what I'm looking to replace but it doesn't need to be this big. It's not leather lined either so it's very lightweight.

I happened upon the brand Radley London a few months ago at a local mall. They were having a sale so I decided to try them out and find them them comparable to Coach. I only bought the one bag, but so far so good. I just checked their website and they have a few white bags similar to the one you're replacing for under $500.

I can't vouch for them personally, but I've heard good things from a couple of folks here about Coccinelle.

I know you said you found the leathers at Coach and Dooney to be thin and hard, but I'm wondering if you saw this one?

Also, I've heard several people on Youtube, who I don't think have been gifted it or anything, rave about the leather on Henry's, which is a discontinued line but affiliated with Dooney and Bourke

This may be too low end but I recently bought this is a lavender colour & it comes in white too. An adjustable crossbody nylon Lululemon that fits an amazing amount of stuff! I mistakenly set it down in sweet & sour sauce on the counter & it wiped right off ! I’m getting constant compliments on it and would like to get a white one for summer too.
Very affordable at $84.00 Cdn
