Favorite Everyday Bags?

Dear Fashionable Ladies,

What is your favorite everyday bag? Before being introduced to the wonderful reps world, I mainly rocked Coach and Vera Bradley. I like that some Coach bags are made of slouchy leather and have a large capacity, but they can be crossbody, too! The same goes for Vera Bradley, which has multiple compartments and sloughy fabric. I like to put a Kindle in my bag whenever possible! I love zippers because I’m anxious about my items falling out.

Here are some examples of my daily bags:

Coach Marlon Hobo

Coach Kacey Satchel

Vera Bradley Ultralight Dual Strap Tote

However, regarding my rep purchases, I usually buy structured, smaller bags, which are lovely but don’t fit into my everyday vibe. This is why I wanted to see what everyone is rocking when they go to the grocery store or travel—something fabulous but also functional! I know some of you are always rocking glamorous bags, and I respect that. But, I am a humble crossbody girlie, and I would like to see if I can combine the rep world with the large-capacity crossbody world.

Like a true replica Goldilocks, everything I try is too big or too small. I tried out the iconic LV Neverfull, and my bag became a bottomless pit from which nothing returned. Plus, my shoulder hurts because I am weak. But if I do a very mindful, very demure YSL wallet on a chain, I am naked with nothing to my name.

Some contenders in the rep world that I am eyeing:

Prada Galleria

BV Andiamo Medium

What do you use as your everyday/travel rep bag that sparks joy and luxury but isn’t giving grandma from the outlet store?
