Great point. And @GAN the Men's have some great totes, I was looking at the Watercolour PM which may now be sold.out or orderable only, but there's also a Mono version if you're not sure about colour transfer.Have you looked at the LV men’s collection of briefcases/totes? They have some beautiful classy ones often in black and sometimes less expensive. If I wasn’t WFH I would look there first. I would worry about that OTG too with color transfer if it was a work bag.

Also saw some nice black Aerogram totes and messengers in my local store!
