I used to collect big yet functional bags. When I say big, it means roomy bags that can hold my stuff that I bring to work everyday such as notebook, documents (sometimes lots of it) recorder, and toiletries and sometimes snack when my assignment requires me to stay in a certain place the whole day. I need to munch on something to keep me going.

But, my preference or taste for bags has changed when I quit my job and became a full-time mom. Now, I prefer a bag that is not too big or too small to contain my stuff when I leave the house for an errand or important occasion.

I’m eying this satchel bag from frannie and vinnie. In fact, I’ve contacted Ms. Frances, the beauteous owner of locally-manufactured satchel bags about the price of the item. The handmade leather bags are actually gaining popularity as more fashionable and practical bloggers purchase one for themselves.

I’m thinking of saving up for the 11” or the 14” satchel bag for me and my daughter. What do you think? Is it practical to save up for something as beautiful as this bag? Tell me please. 🙂
