Black leather weekender bag w/ brown leather straps. Madewell. $298

Needed something that can double as carry-on luggage. Sent back the $80 Nordstrom version that looked neither terrible yet neither lux. My bf said, "I'm not feeling it either," so back it went. He's a good 2nd opinion because we're both picky. I'll rock $2 tshirts but I can't deal with unfavorable bags and shoes. I like to keep my bags on the floor in the foyer. So, they'd better look good if I'm staring at them from the couch.
