Ask and you shall receive. We usually don’t indulge when people complain that the bags we recommend are too costly, I mean, we are afterall the Bag Snobs =) But in the spirit of helping out students and our much appreciated educators, here is a bag I think everyone will agree makes for a great student, professor and work bag. It has all the flair without the big ticket. Don’t you just love the gathered detail on this supple and yummy leather? The straps look short but can actually go over the shoulder. This is not for the bike or public transport commuting student, which I am assuming our readers are way too high maintenance to be anyway. It is 21.5″ X 19″ and has a 5″ gusset so you have plenty of room for books, notes and a change of clothes! (If you are Tina, you can fit an entire week’s worth of clothes in there. She once showed up to my college apartment for a sleepover with an entire outfit in her Chanel 2.55). I don’t want to hear any whining about the price of this bag, at $695 your budget surely will not bust. Available at Net-a-Porter.
