Looking for fall "investment bag" tote/shoulder bag

[Anonymous]

Whatever you choose, may it bring you joy. I can't imagine spending $3K on a tote (mine came free with my PBS membership). But if all it takes to make you happy is a ridiculously expensive bag, at least buy one that will employ people at a living wage.

I love the Saint Laurent tote because it’s understated with no big logos.

OP here - - I have to go to the office b/c I work in a particular field where I can't work from home. While everything sucks these days it's a small thrill to get dressed for work and be in the office. A beautiful handbag makes it feel special too. I use it just for work, not home life.

Piggybacking on previous question...what do you do that can't be done remotely but where a $3k bag would be noticed and appreciated? All of the on-site jobs I can think of are either uniformed (like medical or military) or working class (retail, food service, construction, etc.).

Medical isn’t typically uniformed unless you are a surgeon/ER/hospital doc in scrubs. Non hospital docs have been back to work a long time. National security/defense is not uniformed if you’re a civilian.

Saint Laurent Shopper, East West or North South. All timeless.

Not OP but I assume it makes her happy because she herself loves it not because of what others think.

Classic yet modern.

I worked this summer and make $3K. I am trying to wrap my brain around spending it all on one handbag. I’m eyeing one that costs around $160. Can I ask what you do that you can spend that much on handbags? Just curious.

Go for the $160 bag, pp. What bag?

I’ve been posting the recent links that are more modestly priced. While I earn nearly $200k, I can’t stomach spending more than $400 on a bag...and I prefer to keep it under $200.
