I've also been searching for a tote for over a year now, and it's harder to find one than one would think! The Neverfull is common, and Goyard doesn't wear well.... Fendi makes a few really nice canvas totes that have a zipper and seem durable. They turn up on Bluefly for about $600. Longchamp is also an option.... I still don't know what to buy, have have been thinking about personalizing a neverfull when the option becomes available either in July or September. At least then it will look different.
