Although you may consider it too big for your needs. It has both a detachable shoulder strap as well as top handles, which is what I love about mine (although I needed something to haul around a 15 inch MacBook along with other paperwork and purse stuff). That, and it's available in&nbsp;a gorgeous lipstick red color (that would totally rock with those booties). </p> <p>The quality is top-notch. New it's around $500-$600 but you can snag it for way less on some of the designer resale sites or ebay (I got mine at shop-hers.com for &nbsp;$250, which I thought was a good investment. I have several MJ bags I've owned for years, and while they may seem pricey, &nbsp;the leather quality and hardware construction is very good so&nbsp;they hold up really well over time and I carry them often (so cost per wear is low and quality is high!)</p> <p>I'm petite as well. It's on the edge of being too big for me but I don't really mind (or care)&nbsp;because of the structured shape I think it still works and it's versatile enough in shape and color that it goes with either more professional attire or casual. I wore mine into the office&nbsp;last week with a super casual outfit (my office is so casual it makes casual days at most offices look like full on business attire). I've added a photo so you can see it proportionately to someone who is vertically challenged (I'm 4 ft 11.5 inches).</p> <p>Good luck with the hunt! I know what it's like to be searching for just the right thing in a particular size and&nbsp;color so don't settle for anything less than *exactly* what you are looking for or you will end up disappointed in the long run&nbsp;(and when you finally do come across it, snap it up so you don't end up later regretting&nbsp;not buying it)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-bag-i-want-you#post-1167726 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 15:18:25 +0000 shiny 1167726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel your pain, petite sister. I'll be watching your thread to see what you come up with.&nbsp;</p> <p>Meanwhile, be sure to check out Etsy. There were some interesting options there, last time I was on the hunt, though I don't know about red.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-bag-i-want-you#post-1167607 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 12:21:20 +0000 Astrid 1167607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do you want to carry it? And how dressy does it need to be? Reisenthel has a sporty red bag with laptop compartement that is in your budget and seems to fit size wise:</p> <p><a href="http://www.reisenthel.design-3000.de/Flapbag+rot.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.reisenthel.design-3.....g+rot.html</a></p> <p>Or maybe this Picard bag? A bit dressier, but also more expensive:</p> <p><a href="http://www.picard-lederwaren.de/fashion/shopper/shopper-sonja-12.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.picard-lederwaren.d.....ja-12.html</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-bag-i-want-you#post-1167600 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 11:15:25 +0000 Ornella 1167600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The brands which come to mind and which may seem to fit your style from what my impressions of it are:<br />Oasis and Next&nbsp;(UK brands, but ship internationally)<br />Hallhuber (you may know&nbsp;this brand already, it was new to me when I moved to Germany)</p> <p>Both UK brands are&nbsp;high street and should fit within your budget.</p> <p>Hallhuber's bags tend to be a tiny bit more expensive and I don't recall seeing a strong red in their collection yet, but you never know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-bag-i-want-you#post-1167590 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 10:38:03 +0000 jurocha 1167590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey gals,</p> <p>I've been looking for a red bag for what it seems an eternity. So I decided to outsource and ask whether any of you has seen a nice red bag online or have one laying around on your closets that you wish to sell. </p> <p>I have a few requirements for this bag: <br />- It MUST fit a Macbook 13", which translates as... it has to be at least 32,5 cm x 22,7 cm (12,7 inches x 8,9 inches).<br />- It SHOULDN'T be much bigger THAN a Macbook. As a petite, a huge 40 cm hobo just carries me around and looks anything but stylish.<br />- It CAN'T be burgundy, as I don't like the color nor have shoes that are so dark a hue of red.<br />- I'm looking for a bag in a red hue that will fit these <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/aldo_heltzel_flat_red_chelsea/thing?id=64558614" rel="nofollow">Aldo booties.</a> I got them almost 2 years ago, but despite loving them, they get very little wear due me not having a bag that goes with them. (Yeah, yeah, I know shoes and bags don't need to match, but in this regard I'm very, very old school.) It doesn't need to be that exact red - a near enough would satisfy me too.</p> <p>As a strict high-street gal, I also don't wish to pay more than 40-45 euros for this bag.</p>
