$80, really? Just get it. Bag will last you a while, get a fair amount of use and serve you well! Bags are generally quite expensive in my experience, $80 seems a steal to me.

I would kop if it was all in the same colour. As it stands, I'd really wanting these two:

Plus some Krane outerwear. The kop. It never stops.

I know, it's stupid. But for some reason $12 shipping always puts me off.

They make an all white version: http://beckelcanvas.com/products_vie...products_id=22


Also, I'm just going to suck it up and get the bag. I reckon I won't be able to find anything else in that price point that's that nice.

Top one is nice, what type of material is it?
Looks like some sort of waxed canvas?

You're balking at $12 shipping? Man, we pay like $40, and then wait a week and a half. It's all relative though. In Australia, it's either do that, or don't get anything nice ever.

If you wanted you could probably have moderate success buying that beckel bag, dying it black and applying a wax coating. Would take some work but if you're bored one weekend it could turn out alright. Maybe test out the process on a $10 military surplus canvas bag first.
