Don't get me wrong. They can be practical and I'm sure at some point I'll have to use one in some other context that isn't buying groceries. But I'm tired of people who treat it like it's a statement piece in fashion. They ruin their outfits with it and they try (and fail) to manipulate me into thinking I need it. It's very ugly. I'm so sorry to the people who use it genuinely thinking it looks good with their outfit. π Every time a person is trying stuff on in a video and they finish it with "of course my iconic tote bag couldn't be left out" or something like that, a fairy dies.

Lately I have been on the lookout for a quality black leather shoulder bag to use everyday, in the $200 - $500 range. Sadly, i feel like finding a good quality bag in this age is daunting.
Last year I went into a Gucci store because I wanted to buy a used Jackie and see the different sizes. After holding the bag in my hand, and feeling it, i was instantly disappointed.
I have been trying to understand what I want out of my bags, and I realized from feeling the saffiano of the Jackie that I like supple, smooth leather, possibly lightly protected and embossed. Sadly that stuff is prone to scratching, but I think I am willing to take the risk. I have a vintage Coach Ergo with many scratches, but itβs the bag I use the most because of the simple look, the many pockets, and the large strap to easily have around my shoulder.
Anyways Iβm still on the search, but I am getting tired of seeing the same brands over and over again, and seeing more experimental construction that Iβm not into. I just want a simple, classic bag. But this morning I found a Japanese brand called Etiam and saved this one in my bookmarks to look at later πΌ

Mark my words this is THE it bag of all eternity and going to be impossible to get in a few years. Made in Italy in the 90s. This color is stunning. Top handle and crossbody strap, yes please. Bury me with this bag.
