I could probably find something useful and waterproof if I go to some of the outdoor equipment brands we have, but I don't want gear. I have two waterproof backpacks for outdoor activities or travelling - the bag is for a different purpose and has to be a bit more stylish. But thanks for the suggestion!</p> <p>krishnidoux, this bag is adorable. So cute! I like cats, I would love to have one of these. But not the right thing for my purpose, I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-a-fab-gear-bag#post-386340 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 16:51:13 +0000 krishnidoux 386340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not waterproof I realize... but so cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-a-fab-gear-bag#post-386338 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 16:48:55 +0000 krishnidoux 386338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a Laurel Burch?<br /> <a href="http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.323520/it.A/id.2424/.f?sc=30&#038;category=773" rel="nofollow">http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.....tegory=773</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-a-fab-gear-bag#post-386172 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 12:07:46 +0000 Freckles 386172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know you said cross body gear bag but my son has been using his Mountain Equipment backpack for at least 5 years and it is still teriffic. I live in their purses. They are not great style wise but last forever, have great compartments, are rainproof and awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-a-fab-gear-bag#post-386144 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 09:53:17 +0000 Astrid 386144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one looks nice, Kate. Thanks! I like this one:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/dakine-brooke-messenger-avalon" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/dakine-b.....ger-avalon</a><br /> It's really a bit too "gear" looking, but Dakine is a brand they have in all the sports stores here, so I can hopefully take a look and see it for real without having to order online. I'm also going to try my local mall, they have a store there that has bags made by German brands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-a-fab-gear-bag#post-385891 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 21:18:47 +0000 Kate 385891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Finding something that's truly waterproof and fab will take some searching. This is the best one I can find that's pretty inexpensive, but it might still be a bit too gear looking for you. It comes in a variety of patterns, and has great reviews too! <a href="http://www.zappos.com/dakine-brooke-messenger-geneve" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/dakine-b.....ger-geneve</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-a-fab-gear-bag#post-385848 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 20:00:26 +0000 Astrid 385848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! I'm going to try Diesel and In Case. I like Freitag, but these are way too expensive for me.</p> <p>Kate, I need a zipper closure and the best would be some flap over a zipper closure. I use public transport and I need a zipper closure during rush hour for theft protection. The dimensions should be similar to my current bag that has a good size, about 35cmx30cmx10cm (14x12x4 inches?), although it can diverge a bit. The bag really has to be waterproof, because in fall and winter it rains and snows a lot here in Berlin. I like the look of the second one you linked best stylewise. But I'm a little afraid when I buy something on Etsy that it won't be 100% waterproof, even if they say so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-a-fab-gear-bag#post-385813 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 18:43:53 +0000 Kate 385813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm always inclined to go the etsy route. I have no idea how waterproof many of these are, but here are some ideas to get you started. Do you want a zipper closure, or is some kind of snap sufficient? Also, do you have an idea of minimum dimensions? </p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/67180122/ruffle-deep-purple-handbag-crossbody" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/67.....-crossbody</a><br /> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/75665377/grey-canvas-messenger-unisex-bag-with" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/75.....x-bag-with</a><br /> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/69755785/egg-shell-canvas-tote" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/69.....anvas-tote</a><br /> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/69755785/egg-shell-canvas-tote" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/69.....anvas-tote</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-a-fab-gear-bag#post-385791 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 17:59:15 +0000 Angie 385791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooooh! So much to choose from! Try Diesel, Frietag and In Case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-a-fab-gear-bag#post-385729 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 15:43:39 +0000 Astrid 385729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to replace my bag I use for Uni. I got my current bag as a present when I subscribed to a magazine and after a year it has holes and doesn't look to good anymore. </p> <p>I need it to be a cross body bag and it has to be waterproof. It also has to be big enough to carry some books, a big waterbottle and all my other things. </p> <p>Any suggestions for a brand or even a bag? I can't spend too much money, but I would like my new bag to be as fab as it can be.</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p>
