I still prefer the same kind of style - simple, nice leather, cross body. I see the best ones at high end craft shows, so I agree with the etsy suggestion. But they do tend to be limited to darker colours and heavy leather, less summery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-finding-a-replacement-for-this-bag#post-1627624 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 21:15:20 +0000 Kathleen 1627624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ended up ordering&nbsp;this slightly different bag with a flap off Etsy.&nbsp; I may still look for a 2nd bag in a lighter color for summer.</p> <p>A couple of those Libaire bags remind me of a bag I used to have that I really liked.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-finding-a-replacement-for-this-bag#post-1627618 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 20:54:55 +0000 SuzyQ2 1627618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the one with the flap but only if there is a zipper underneath. I just prefer the extra security.<br />Also today I received an email from Libaire with a few of their bags on sale. <br /><a href="http://www.libaire.net/sale.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.libaire.net/sale.html</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-finding-a-replacement-for-this-bag#post-1626087 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 15:39:29 +0000 Kathleen 1626087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Need some opinions on styles.&nbsp; I'm looking at several bags like the 1st one with the flap over and then they zip underneath.&nbsp; I also really like the&nbsp;2nd one&nbsp;as it reminds me a lot of my old bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-finding-a-replacement-for-this-bag#post-1624803 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 17:24:38 +0000 Eliza 1624803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your original bag reminds me of "Hobo" brand bags that are often in that style, with smooth leather and they are logo-free. Nordstrom has some currently but they don't offer ones that are similar to yours right now.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here are two links to give you a starting point for checking out the brand:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/hobo">http://www.zappos.com/hobo</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nordstromrack.com/brands/Hobo">https://www.nordstromrack.com/brands/Hobo</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck with your search.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-finding-a-replacement-for-this-bag#post-1624743 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:29:21 +0000 Kathleen 1624743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the helpful replies.&nbsp; I am absolutely willing to consider a new to me bag.&nbsp; I have found a few on ebay and etsy that I think could work.</p> <p>The new Libaire and Olbrish bags also look to be just my style.&nbsp; Hopefully I can either find somewhere local that carries them or find them on my travels.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-finding-a-replacement-for-this-bag#post-1624685 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 11:10:24 +0000 kkards 1624685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>try Etsy, but a quick warning if you haven't spent anytime there, its easy to got lost in all the offerings or at least i find it is, so be prepared to spend some time, and/or be prepared to visit a couple of time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-finding-a-replacement-for-this-bag#post-1624664 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 05:08:28 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1624664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got an Olbrish bag from my favorite local boutique, and I love it. They are great quality and have some nice minimal modern styles, with no logo. Mine is below in finds, the <a href="http://www.olbrish.de/en/collection/everyday/mona.html" rel="nofollow">Mona</a>, in a slate gray color. It's best if you can find a shop and see them in person, because the website has little in the way of descriptions or photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-finding-a-replacement-for-this-bag#post-1624646 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 04:04:04 +0000 Jaime 1624646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you would consider second hand, your bag reminds me of some vintage Coach that you could find on ebay in lots of colors.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-finding-a-replacement-for-this-bag#post-1624640 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 03:45:51 +0000 SuzyQ2 1624640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Libaire Leather Handbags has very nice smooth leather bags. You pick the style and color and most are made to order in Berkeley, Ca.<br /> I've purchased an orange tote and black shoulder bag. The only logo is on the zipper pull. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-finding-a-replacement-for-this-bag#post-1624609 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 02:33:23 +0000 Kathleen 1624609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the suggestions. Furla has some nice styles but I think Longchamp might be what I'm looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-finding-a-replacement-for-this-bag#post-1624588 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 01:43:14 +0000 retailgirl 1624588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Longchamp and Furla are quality leather bags with no logo. Brahmin bags are nice (and great quality) but you need to like the textured leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-finding-a-replacement-for-this-bag#post-1624586 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 01:39:01 +0000 MsMaven 1624586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had several Monsac bags, then they disappeared out of the stores and I found out they'd gone out of business. Wish I'd bought more. I've been looking for something in a similar leather finish and shape but haven't found one yet. Perhaps someone can help both of us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-finding-a-replacement-for-this-bag#post-1624549 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 23:10:33 +0000 Kathleen 1624549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this Monsac bag a number of years (10?) ago at a consignment shop for $20.&nbsp; I have been searching for the last year or so for a replacement as I'm wearing less black these days.&nbsp; After a couple of missteps costing several hundred dollars each, I still haven't found a replacement that I'm really happy with.</p> <p>Here's what I like about the old bag:</p> <ul> <li>very smooth soft leather</li> <li>simple design</li> <li>medium size crossbody about 9" W&nbsp;X 11"&nbsp; H X 4" D</li> <li>easy in and out but still has a center zip pocket for security</li> <li>additional pockets inside for cell phone, and another zippered pocket on the back of the bag</li> <li>strap length is adjustable</li> <li>durable.&nbsp; The old bag has held up very well so far.</li> <li>no large logo</li> </ul> <br />I'm running out of ideas where to look so any suggestions are welcome.&nbsp; My winter coats are a chocolate down parka and a merlot wool, and I have rain coats in a heathered charcoal grey and olive. <p></p>
