It won't let me post in the Purse Thread... but I have to ask...

[CoachKatie]

I would get the LARGE size of L.L. Bean's Boat and Tote.

I had looked on LL Bean's website as well as Land's End. They both offer nice totes. With those I'm just stuck between the Large and Extra Large. This past weekend I dumped all of my projects out of my knitting tote to use that and it was a pain! I think I'll haul that back out and measure that and see... even that bag was a little too small... we'll see!

You all probably think I'm a nut-job. Lol. I just can't make up my mind!

They're very sturdy and good looking IMO

Thank you SO much for all of your help. I've been sitting here at home writing down various names and dimensions of all of the bags you're suggesting - you're such a doll!

She finds the best stuff, it's insane

I have a Coach Hamptons Weekend large tote from 05 that I use as an overnight/weekend bag (hence the name). It's satiny nylon and it's really big, and they even make larger one's. You can pick them up at the outlets and ebay. I picked mine up on ebay for $122

So CoachKatie, have you made up your mind?

Stop dithering! Just kidding ...

This Miquelrius Weekend Bag is probably too small (21" x 10" x 7.5")for your needs and not sturdy enough but it sure is cute!
