Medium everyday shoulder bag recs?

[designerdiva87]

I’m looking for an everyday medium-sized shoulder bag.
Am open to vintage styles as well as new. Current work/everyday bag is a vintage chocolate Coach duffel with the most buttery yet thick leather but it’s a little too small.
I purchased a Louis Vuitton Neverfull but spilling of said purse in my car realized made me realize I do not like open bags so I sold it. LOL

Definitely need something that has a zippered opening. I love the Longchamp bags but am not keen on the little flap that covers the zipper.

I’m even considering the nylon Prada Nero bags. Something with limited or no vachetta, preferably.

I think one of the most sleek and still a bit under the radar are Jil Sander Tangle Bag in black or tan

Massaccesi Selene midi would be perfect. You can pick the leather, number of pockets inside or outside, color. Reasonable prices and excellent quality. They are handmade so they take a while though. Do a search for Massaccesi Selene midi and you will get many pages with pictures of the various leathers and colors that people have chosen. Marco Massaccesi is a master leather designer and crafter. And you can tell him what you want by email and he will respond usually that same day and tell you what style will be perfect for you.

I got a Vuitton V MM tote last year. (I, too, have a Neverfull and hated the lack of zipper!) I get a ton of compliments on it; low key but chic and the zipper is a dream! Fits a lot of stuff, great day bag.

Moreau Paris Bregançon in PM. There is also an MM size which is I think similar to the Neverfull. Light but fully leather inside and out. You can email their Paris store on the website for current stock and you can also customise an order if you have a colour combination in mind, and you can add a zip if you like (they may have some zipped ones already in stock). They have a large variety of colours and leather types - their leathers are very soft to the touch but durable.

Alternatively Goyard Artois is also a light tote bag with a zip, albeit in coated canvas. Sturdier than its St Louis sibling. I've had no trouble with it rain or shine.

My friend also got the V tote right before this all happened and she loves it. It’s a great looking bag while still being practical.

How about a Vintage Rebecca Minkoff MAB? Those had great leather and inner lining, are zippered and have quite some room.
