Dear all,
I gained so much knowledge from all of you so that I am quite sure that you will end my neverending search for a workhorse within a few posts... At least I hope!
I am desperately looking for a workhorse in black. Doesn't have to be leather, logo print shouldn't be, but would be ok if the other specs are met:
1.) it hast to be hughe. First I am 5'9 tall and more the weight-challenged type of person.
2.) It has to have feet
3.) it has to have a stiff buttom
4.) It has to be hughe---- I tend to carry my grocery shoppings, my half household, my books, my Laptop, my tablets (yes, plural) with it. I am teaching, which means that I have to schlepp tons of paper, electronic devices, sweets, drinks, handkerchiefs, ... you know what I mean.
5.) It has to be undestroyable, literally. First I do not baby my bags, second I am using public transport and ... well... it is as it is in Germany and Austria / Italy / Switzerland. (I am crossing borders on a regular basis, means once a week at least). So an under the radar bag would be better I gues than one screaming out "robbery could pay of".
6.) It might cost up to 5k but in this case it has to hold! I saw a few very disturbing videos about the Goyard bags and hell- NO!
7.) It has to be carried over the shoulder
8.) it musn't be too girly girly or too young for my age (42)
9.) I can carry whatever I want, but it should be high quaility. I am teaching at a center of excellence which means that even the youngest carry LV. (which is, in my case a total no go - I never want to carry the same bag as my pupils do).
10.) It has to be black...
So far I always used Longchamp I really liked as they were easy to carry and light, but actually I don't like me carrying Longchamp any more. Additional to that, the LC is a hughe mess if you won't use organizers (something I always plan to do but won't do). And: the edges wear of and develop quite pretty holes after a while of using. So, no Longchamp for me. Then, I hade the Mansur Gavriel bag, which I didn't like at all. It is sitting in my cupboard. Then I gad a few totes from Ralph Lauren that didn't hold well. The best workhorse I have is my Birkin (40 cm) but is is HUGHE and believe me it is that as heavy I tend to let it at home most of the times. My herbag becomes dirty very easily and has neither feet nor a stiff buttom and is really hard to get in, so I use it not very often.
I'd love to have a bag I could pass on to my daughter and that has a more classic look, so, pleasssse help me. I have literally no clue.
Thank you I know that you are the persons who will be able to help me!

I have the herbag that is not that as heavy but it develops pimples (yes) once the leather part becomes wet. Living in Europe we have a 50 % chance for rain most of the days..
