Suggestions for bag strong enough for a gun, big wad of cash and overnight clothing.

Hey girl.....this is a great bag. I'll pass on the sale to my friend. Funny, but haven't seen him for a while and just contacted him about fixing the air conditioning on my very old Porsche.
It's 102 today.

Love that bag. Love the sale.

the coach borough is a great bag. the large is the same as weekender and I think the black pebbled might be at outlet already. it was on last delete list. but this is already a heavy bag. a gun is not exactly light also and that with wads of cash and a change of clothes. I don't know if that might be too heavy.

trust me, even the medium borough with just a gun inside is heavy.

I would look at the coach men's urbane commuter. really gorgeous bag. it's a lot bigger in person than on web.

a lot of the coach men's collection is quite nice.

a leather bag is going to be heavy no matter what tho. she'll definitely need something with sturdy handles and straps.

*best tpf thread ever!

I agree.. epic thread.

Should be a sticky..lol..

Actually, this is great!!! I wish these were around when I was carrying.

My mom has a really pretty leather bag she uses when she goes out shooting sporting clays. But I'm pretty sure she just got it from a leather artisan and that it's not a designer bag of any sort. Maybe those types of places would be where to look?

Oh and as for the woman's back story my guess was far less exciting, my mind immediately jumped to thinking that she's probably a small business owner who has to carry cash between several locations & lives in a concealed carry state, haha

Balenciaga made a bag called the Weekend (no, not the Weekender), which was just a tad smaller than the Weekender, but much more sturdy with a nice wide strap. The only problem is that they are harder than hen's teeth to find because they were only made for 1 Year/Season. However, I have sometimes seen them on eBay or Asian websites.

This isn't the style that I was talking about; I believe it might be the Men's Weekender? .. https://www.tradesy.com/bags/balenc...6&cadevice=c&gclid=cj2-mzbnt8ecfqcpaqodmnsa7q

If I was this woman (in my dreams, lol), I would want the bag to have a zippered compartment for the cash, and an open compartment for easy access to the gun. Maybe something like the Saint Laurent duffle?

While we're playing the guessing game, my mind went from spy to armored truck driver (which wouldn't explain the need for change of clothes) and finally settled on private security for a celeb, probably a rapper.

Thank you all so much for contributing. Sorry for my tardy response!
