I am struggling to find the perfect tote, and I'd love to see what y'all have and recommend!
I am 5'10", and I definitely like a larger bag. I am looking for something that is nice enough to go to work, but casual enough to wear with lululemon. I definitely don't baby my bags, so durability is important! I'm currently using a Michael Kors XL Jet Set tote in Saffiano (and I don't love the interior pockets) or a Longchamp with a purse.
The ones I have or have considered so far are:
Goyard St Louis - Would get this in a heartbeat if there weren't so many quality issues. This is the right size, weight, and seems to strike the right balance between dressed up or down (if you get a classic neutral). I just can't get over the corner wear and use suggestions (nothing as heavy as a laptop!).
LV Neverfull GM - Love these as well, especially for the durability, but I just can't see any of the canvas patterns working in all the settings I need.
Chanel GST - Too heavy and structured; not quite big enough.
Chanel Execuvtive/Cerf Tote - Not quite visually exciting enough.
What am I missing?! I know there are some great totes out there!
