Thread Bumper, can I just say I really appreciate you? You describe is my ideal everyday bag (cross body, with a zipper, to carry necessities) and I also currently carry a D&B and would like something else.

Adding that although it’s more than $250, you can find them like new on eBay and poshmark. I also swap out for a thicker crossbody strap if I have heavier items like a water bottle with me for the day

I like Calpak and it's at that price point.

I like the HOBO brand. Lots of crossbody options.

I love this bag! But it's not a crossbody. I have sloping shoulders, and shoulder bags and totes just fall right off me.

You can also buy a long strap to add on that can be worn as a crossbody.

Crossbodies don’t typically work for laptops as well as totes, that’s why I’m confused.


No, I want a crossbody that's large enough for necessities -- phone, sunglasses, keys, wallet, tissues, makeup


I just bought a lightweight Madewell sling bag and love it, not sure if its large enough for what you want -
