dibadiba, that's almost exactly the bag I'm looking for. I just want an additional pocket on the inside--is that a snap-on pocket?

it is indeed! It's a fully lined pouch, 3 snap buttons holding it on so you can pop it out whenever. can be swapped out for different types of pockets as well

I think I saw one of diba's bags at 4hm and it was real purty.

Can anyone recommend a bag similar to this brown Coach bag

but for much less than this bag's retail price of $600?

I'm also considering saving up and going higher end and getting one of these in black or dark brown:

Want Les Essentiels Trudeau. Costs a little over 1K, but it's the type of bag that should last a lifetime.


For the record, I have this bag in black. I absolutely love it, it was well worth saving up for.

Someone else mentioned others like Glaser in a similar price range, who I had looked at as well, but you do get something a little more traditional from them. However, their quality is out of this world.
