Let's get things started; Fug the Handbag!

So, I really - I mean REALLY - want a Big new leather handbag. I've been searching ebay for weeks and weeks. A fortnight ago I was sure that I'd found The One...





I was sure that it fit my bill of
A) Soft buttery leather
B) Lots of pockets so thing wouldn't drown in it
C) BIG - it was labelled as "luggage" and as a Satchel on the Cole Haan website
D) A well known luxery label that I could show off -after having bought it cheap on ebay; )

So I'd found a couple on ebay and was ready to just buy it sight unseen, but Jack urged me to try it out in person so I did today...

I literally RAN uptown on my break today only to find that instead of a purse, I had been oogling a large loaf of farmers bread w/ bowling bag straps.

So Sad.

The pink one is superb. Perfect colour, great size...straps long enough to go over your shoulder?

I want a large hand-held tote for my music/teaching books. I want it to look cute but profesh.

Ideas?

These photos are of the same bag!
It looks so good online, but in person it's really too small for the design. It really looked like a loaf of Triple-Zip Brown Bread:(

What? Same bag??? Crazy - those views make it seem like two different bags. Ergo: not the bag for you.
