I need a small day to day bag.. and I'd like it to be made out of durable leather, be under 35 dollars, and have a long skinny strap. I think it should be a dark color, maybe black or grey, and be big enough to fit my moleskin and a wallet. That's really all I carry on a day when I don't carry anything.
I looked for used bags on Etsy.com, and I came across an old, faded Bonnie Cashin era coach bag made in NYC for 22 dollars. I am concerned about the fading but I think I could live with it if I knew it was durable (how much does it cost to redye a small bag? maybe when I get more $$) It's one of those old Coach ones with the turnlock. I used to have an awesome deflated football bag from French Connection until someone broke into my car and out it went. I want something really everyday, but not banal.
I'd like to hear some other options, maybe places to look and designers to look for.
Any insights?
