Last week, I promised you a glimpse at the three bags I ordered online in search of the holy grail: the perfect bit of cloth and leather to hang over my shoulder every day.
So here are the contenders:
LL Bean’s Heatwave Messenger Bag
I primarily ordered this one because I was buying a new messenger bag for Smarty Boy, and at less than $30 on sale, I couldn’t resist a closer look.
Land’s End’s Medium Open Top Shoulder Tote
I’ve long been a Land’s End fan. I have a huge canvas tote of theirs that will rival the cockroaches for last thing standing when the world is destroyed. But it’s too large for everyday and the straps aren’t long enough. So I ordered a smaller one with an adjustable strap.
Lug’s Mambo Sun Tote
I’ve got the most hope for this one because Lug makes a smart product with lots of nooks and crannies. Possibly too many. And in full disclosure, I ordered a couple of “extras” to outfit the whole perfect bag situation.
More reports on the bag sitch in days to come…
