After scouring eBay, Overstock.com, Macy's online, and a few other places...I found my new best friend in the most unlikely of places: CostCo!
I was stocking up on items and looking in the electronics section for a Wii (which I bought, as well!) and I ran across a display of Kenneth Cole Reaction hobo bags. Are you kidding me? My beloved Kenneth Cole at CostCo?
I snagged the bag. It's real. It's leather. It retails for $248. It's...only $68??? SCORE!
Of course, I bought it! Here's the closet pic I can find to what it looks like. I bought it in black:
What I love about it is it doesn't weigh a ton, my shoes will fit in it, but it's not too bulky and is quite classic in a style that won't go away. I feel so relieved...so liberated...ahhh.

I'm not a fashion girl by any stretch of the imagination (and my imagination stretches quite a ways), but I am on an eternal quest for the perfect purse. (To dream...the impossible dream...)
My perfect purse would be cheap, small, light, have a long strap, and hold everything I want it to.
Of course, no bag could be small and light and hold all I want it to. Hence the impossibility of the dream!
I think I need one of those D&D bags of holding...

I commend you for your diligence and applaud your success! However, I don't think a purse, I mean "Urban Man Bag", would work for me. I just don't think that I could "carry my stuff and still look tuff"! I'll stick with a wallet.
Chuck...I think it's soooo unfair how men can carry only the few things they need in their wallet and pocket...yet, us chicks seem to have to carry everything we own in a day bag and purse and tote and everything else. What's your secret? LOLOL!!! = )
Awesome purse, Marley! Chuck, I bet you'd look tuff in a fanny pack! ha!
My favorite website is www.retailmenot.com It has discount codes for practically every website. I never shop without checking it first and I've saved SO much $$
I'm so glad you finally picked the bag. This one looks so beautiful and elegant.
Marley, my secret is that I'm post menopausal. :)
ROFLMAO Chuck!!
Thanks for the website hint, Steph! Will definitely check it out. = )
