I want a new bag for work, I think I am justified after getting 2+ years out of my Madewell Transport Tote. After considering Madewell again I decided to go for something else, it seems like the leather quality had gone down since I purchased my bag. So now I am lusting over the Clare V Simple Tote in Army. If I use it as long as my Madewell bag than the $500 price tag doesn’t seem as outlandish.

Ximena.
