Black leather bag
I love black leather bags. I want one. I need one. Please help me find one.
Here’s what I got:

https://www.rickowens.eu/en/US/men/products/ra01e0624lbapa-09
Priorities: black leather with some subtle but interesting details (cool hardware, unique shape). Simple is good but I don’t want something too boring. Also open to making interesting with accessories.
Must be ergonomic and comfortable. I have worn so many tote bags that just destroy my shoulder at the end of the day. Not sure I’m ready to give up on my desires and wear a backpack yet.
Very open to used bags and budget is up to $1000. I’m open to suggestions at any price range though if the perfect bag is $2000 then maybe I just have to save up but that’s just a bit high for what I want to spend imo.

The Rick bag is a tad larger than I would like, the row is ideal size imo
I prefer shoulder bags but have had issues with comfort. I think it’s just finding one with the right shape and size to be comfy for a long day
at that price point balenciaga also
I love the charm balenciaga bags sooo much
If you want to go in the more avantisinal direction, ierib has done a one-shoulder “backpack” that could be a bit more comfortable

I love this
Really cool texture on the leather + amazing hardware
Same genre, unsure if it’ll get a re-release but I’d say it’s possible
