A brand from Italy is great, Alice D, I read some recommendations from purseforum and found this one, the tote has a stripe at the top which make it easily sit on the shoulder. The leather is premium regardless of the "Celine" thing, there is a sheen in the leather, very luxury look. I bought one from shopbop but it is sold out now, found some new colors at http://www.clutchhealdsburg.com/products/alice-d-tote
