Sorry, I'm pretty boring when it comes to purses, but I wanted to contribute. I bought the purse I'm using now on Amazon, I think it was less than $30, and I'm happy with it. The previous one I bought on Etsy.

Lightly Toasted - you described me perfectly (one black purse, keep until it falls apart). I'm right there with you! I just don't know why it's such a struggle to find a new one that works for me! Thanks!
~Christina - Ha! I know (re: $400) right? Though, honestly, since I'm a "one purse for everything" kind of person, I am sort of starting to think that... if I found one that I really loved... I'd spend the money. Especially if it's something that might last a bit longer than my cheaper purses have. It's so disheartening to have them fall apart!
Blue Bird - It's so hard to find the right size, isn't it!?!
LiteraryLark - Awesome! Yeah, I actually looked at some hobo bags that convert - you can wear them on your shoulder, crossbody, or as a backpack - which I thought was ridiculously useful! I actually have a small, very old, backpack/purse (kind of outdoorsy looking) thing that I used to use in college. But, when my friends gave me a makeover, they forbid me from wearing it as an everyday purse! (They wanted to throw it out -omg! But I keep it to carry stuff when I go on short hikes!) I guess it doesn't really look appropriate for my age (mid-40s)
But, I loved it (and obviously refused to toss it!)
And, wow - your Coach purse sounds like it was so darn cute! Do you still have it? Just thinking, it might be possible to get the zipper fixed?
LOL - but I love your enthusiasm for the backpack purses, and you're totally right about them being easier to carry and more secure!
