Shoulder bag suggestions?

[LaVisioneer]

Hi everyone!

I need your suggestions for older Coach bags for an upcoming trip.

I need a shoulder bag preferably with nickel hardware. I need it to fit a water bottle, a 7" by 9" book or mini iPad, and small wallet etc. I currently have a legacy Willis from 2012 that is slightly too small for all this.

Ideally I could fit this bag inside a backpack so the bag should not be too structured and rather more smushy. I think a zipper opening on top would be ideal as opposed to a flap opening.

I'm looking at the Carly and some of the Kristin styles on eBay. Any other suggestions? Style numbers and photos welcome Thanks!

Zoe—look for the large or the extra large “editorial” Zoe

Legacy duffle—2012 versions can be used as crossbody or double the strap for shoulder bag style

Sullivan Hobo—has shoulder strap and crossbody strap

As you mentioned, the Kristin hobos (large) are very roomy too

All have zip closures

Thanks for replying!! I'm looking at the Kristin 16808 (it appears it's a first generation perhaps) and I'm hoping it's not too heavy. I usually carry only small bags but I need a larger one for an upcoming trip.

I like the style of the Carly and Zoe but I'm having trouble finding a color scheme that works from eBay/etc.

You may also want to consider the Legacy Courtenay hobo (which has a shoulder strap, crossbody strap, zip closure, and some colors with nickel/silver-ish hardware). It is also not too structured for easy storage. Here is an old stock photo from Nordstrom. Have fun looking .
