I have a pebbled leather bag from Cuyana and was disappointed by how cheap the leather is.

Hobo brand are nice

Could you tell us more about what look you're going for? Color? Hardware type/color? Shape? General aesthetic? More casual to wear only with jeans etc or do you also want to take it out to dinner?

Thank you, COS is pretty close to my esthetic!

Cuyana.

Not sure exactly what you want but take a look at Portland Leather Goods.

I’m looking for withers cross body or shorter strap purse to fit a notebook, phone, keys and a small toiletries bag. I have had a Fossil one that I’ve loved but the look is chunky, not what I’d like now. Decades ago I had a beautiful calfskin bag I bought in Italy at a leather shop, super soft and somehow also durable. I have been looking for the same thing since and have never been able to find it.

I’d like to keep it under $500. Anyone have something like this and love it?
