longchamp / huge tote for everyday ideas

[shopafrolic]

Hi all, I have a suede longchamp bag (which i adore) i can fit all my crap in it, it was $100 from the outlet (bargain) but want something else again,
you know just a throw around bag thats big? not too expensive, i work with kids so no chanels or hermes needed.. thats for the weekend! any ideas?
another question, where do you buy longchamps online? i cant find anywhere.

thanks ladies..(and gents) x

longchamp.com sells them. and they're only $115 for a really good sized one. i personally like my herve chapelier, which is, for me, kinda expensive, it was over $100, i can't remember the exact price. but they come in lots of great colors, including bright ones and just black. in case you can't find any images online, in my collection, under assorted totes, the sea foam and blue one is herve chapelier. hope that helps!

When you say "huge", what dimensions do you mean exactly? And do you mind if the tote is not in a solid colour?

One suggestion for now (I've read a purchaser's comment about another bag in the line that the handle might not be comfortable):

Sydney Love Embroideries Wardrobe Large Tote > Fabric Handbags > Handbags - eBags

These two bags are huge (17"wide x 24" tall):

here's a pic of the herve chapelier in basic colors for winter. this one's smaller than the one i have, i'm pretty sure, but they come in huge sizes.

Longchamp or the good ol' LL Bean Boat and Tote, I love those!!

I adore my Herve Chapeliers. I don't really carry anything else as far as totes- those are real workhorses! They may be on the expensive side, but you could run them over with a truck and they'd still be as functional as they were before.

If you are not in a big hurry, ie you can wait for a few weeks, how about this - choosing a fabric you like and having a tote customised?

I just love the idea of having something customised Asked a nice lady from another shop if she had any more of a certain fabric left and she made this small messenger:

A little OT, but I'm thinking about buying a Timbuk2 Cargo Tote for the gym... could also work as a diaper bag (when the time comes) or an everyday tote!
