I know its an odd combo, but i am looking for a large bag that can hold file folders for work (I'm a teacher) but is not so structured that it will look silly on a casual day. I also want it to have feet b/c i am realizing how often i set my bag down. The vibe i am going for is "celebrity at the airport". Leather or nylon, not too heavy, but will stand up on its own.

Suggestions, please!
 
I know some brands are better about having feet than others. Dooney and Rebecca Minkoff pop into mind regarding feet. Caveat that the larger the bag, the more likely the weight can push the center of the bag onto the floor thus making the feet kind of useless when the bag is heavy.
 
Check out the Massaccesi soulmate. I have the midi size and it stands up on its own, but the full size would probably work better for files. I got my handles lengthened so it fits over my shoulders better, and it also has a crossbody strap. You can customize it (i.e., add more feet if you want more than four, take out the center compartment, pick out the leather you want), and the price is good.

Maybe second hand Balenciaga Work? It definitely has a 'celebrity at the airport' vibe and is very light.

I was thinking about the old version of Work, too. It fits every criteria. But you may have to go for the pre 07 ones since they discontinued the feet after 07, I believe.

:smile1: Maybe you are thinking about Part Time bags? Work's had feet removed in a few bags in 2009 ( very confusing, some bags had them, some didn't, even in the same colour), but all was good later on ;)

Oh.. Yes. I'm kinda out of touch with Bal for too long. I think you're right. ;)
