If you could spend around 1-2k on a bag / practical one

I would buy 3-5 bags in different styles and colors.

Tote

Sturdy handbag in a cool shape

Baguette (love the Frances Valentine Pia Baguette in patent leather! Lots of fun colors!)

Cross-body

Frances Valentine is the real Kate Spade. Candidly, I like both brands: they hold up very well and typically come in interesting shapes and colors.

I like Hammitt cross-body bags.

Don’t just buy black or brown. Red, lime green, and orange are surprisingly versatile year-round.

Anyone else?

I would get gently used on The Real Real, a Celine belt bag in grey, tan or another neutral and Saint Laurent tote

I wouldn't

I'd rather a nice leather bag for a fraction of the cost. I love Portland leather
