thank you so much for your input! They have nice designs and it's so funny that I'm looking at those two exact bags from the website as well, may I know what are the design that you currently own? My only setback is that they're not 'tan' enough.

It might be the unpopular opinion but I'm not into coach bags. They're overly popular in my opinion

Np. :smile: I believe I had the Small Zip Tote from mansur gavriel, the black version with red interior. It fit well under the shoulder and had a zip!
I bought it when I was on a budget as well, inspired by the black Prada tote bag with the red interior! :biggrin:
I will say, like many totes, it does have thin straps, so as long as you don't put too much inside, it won't dig into the shoulder as much.

Haha, no worries! I'm not into Coach bags either! I love the leather quality; just not into the designs they have out atm. :P

I LOVE Loewe! I'm thinking to go that route and buy the small puzzle, I do have the budget, only I can't swallow the fact that for the price point it's gonna be an everyday and throwaround bag lol

I have the small tan Puzzle bag and throw it around all the time! The leather is amazing quality - probably the most durable out of my bags. The small size is really perfect - I keep my phone in the back pocket for easy access, and have carried a small water bottle or small umbrella inside the bag when needed as well. It's such a useful little bag.

At first I also thought the Puzzle bag was too pricey for something I'd mostly use on the weekends. Then the pandemic happened and I was suddenly missing a casual bag that was good for running errands, traveling, or being out all day. The Puzzle fit the bill perfectly. With the amount of use I've gotten out of it, I feel like it was one of my best purchases.

I have to agree. The puzzle is worth.every.cent. I used it more than any other handbag in my collection. The tan goes with everything. It is so incredibly durable and perfect for daily use.

I have this one. Simple, but with such a pretty shape! And also a crossbody strap if you need one, although I prefer it as a hand-carry.

@jaschultze, I have been eyeing this bag as an everyday bag. I've been trying to find a review but haven't been able to. Is it soft and smooshy, do you like the leather? is it light and comfortable? can you fit the little strap on the shoulder? Tell us more. :)
 
Hi all I've been a member here for the longest time lol and has been through so many bag transition in my life and on hiatus for a while since I have kids because I don't feel a need to use a designer bags. Now that my kids are not babies anymore I start carrying my bags again but some of my bags aren't really my style anymore so I sold most of my collection away. I'm looking to get a good everyday bag and I'm not planning on switching my bags after I got it, anyone has anything to recommend? Im looking at tan/brown leather handbag as I feel it's more casual and will fit my lifestyle more. So far I'm in love with acne studios musubi bags and polene numero neuf in tan, but I hope I could have more options and suggestions since probably many people here have used and love their tan bags and they have help up wonderfully. My hope that I could use it for travel and everyday so it can't be heavy, digging my shoulder and probably safer option with zipper or narrow opening to prevent theft. I don't need a giant or large bags since I usually only carry essentials, also not hoping to get a Madewell bag since it's too common here. TIA all!

Love Polene! Such exceptional quality in leather and craftsmanship. It definitely gets my vote.
 
I am closely following this thread OP as I am looking for similar. I love Loewe and have the belt bag and the basket. I've looked at the puzzle and it is gorgeous but doesn't seem as functional to me. I found it a little hard to get into and out of the zip area.
