Love the look and vibe, but I don’t spend thousands on purses.

Can you help me find something along the lines of this cute bag?

Same shape and color but far less detail: https://eng.polene-paris.com/products/cyme-textured-camel?utm_source=google&campaign_id=21509522373&ad_id=707482422626&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=SHOPPING_STD_US_Marque&utm_content=170637834932&utm_term=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjdTCBhCLARIsAEu8bpI93tzUPiyER_Xgd_FSqo5yR_kiwf9p6vD-HYVOZYqhB7a5zUchIggaAq4YEALw_wcB&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21509522373&gbraid=0AAAAADP65sw-Qtx5ThVTsLNMQW-7njfvn

The 2 alternatives seem less structured and interesting as the RL bag. They also seem more dressy/polished.

Any other suggestions?

Comes in a smaller version, too.

OP, of course not an exact match but nothing will be. You have to pick the festures most appealing to you about the RL bag and look for bags that mimic those features.

If you’ve gotten your mind set on a specific bag, it can be very hard to make yourself switch to an alternative that’s less, it’s hard to feel satisfied. Better to save up for what you really want if you think another perfectly nice bag is a big compromise.

Understood. But I’ll never waste $3k+ on a purse (even though I could if I opted to).

I’m just looking for something that is as sturdy/structured as a RL bag—noting the other suggested bags are far less structured/rugged…with the exception of the Le Tanneur bag (which seems more structured but lacks the statement feature of the Ralph bag).

I’ll keep looking.

this is a more formal bag but is structured with a little interesting detail

They have the Ralph bag in the window at the RL store in the Galleria mall if you want to see it in person.

This LeTanneur is worth a look by OP!

You want a “statement feature” but you don’t want to pay thousands? The cost is the idea of the statement.
