I am in a dilemma... I have some new winter flats (I am from Aust!) and notice BOTH have black patent detailing. My black bag which I use SOOOO much is getting a bit shabby and is a plain black leather slouchy bag which I am considering replacing if the right bag comes along. Any ideas on styling/fabric/shape for the black bag? The shoes are lace up oxfords with patent detailing and chanel-esque dressy ballet flats with the black patent toe. I will mainly use the bag for work including work travel so a mini is no good but I still want it to be a handbag I can carry on my shoulder. My look is modern classic and I will do the shoes with wide leg pants, dressy knit tops, jackets, scarves for "very business" casual work style. Thanks everyone!
