I am in desperate need of a new bag. But it can't be just any new bag. It needs to be a slightly slouchy, buttery leather, messenger, lap-top-holding, stuff-keeping, anti-theft protected, not-at-all-manly but minimalistically feminine bag with an extra interior buckle, tough zipper or snap to keep my stuff safe AND a reinforced, padded shoulder strap. Oh, and it has to last forever.

I only get one chance at this.

Am I reaching for the stars here? Not really.

Do you have any suggestions on where to find such a bag? What would your perfect bag look like? How would it function?
