Can anyone recommend a leather bucket bag or tote that has a shoulder strap and a crossbody strap? I have a dog so sometimes I need to be hands free but I still want to look…cool? Chic? Not like a slob!

Bucket Bags: Really into Maison de Sabre's bucket bags--not too big but they hold EVERYTHING, and they're both structured and slouchy which is a hard line to straddle! They come in a bunch of cool colors and have crossbody straps too.

Quince Sloane Shoulder Bag: Only a partial rec because I haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but facing this exact same dilemma and after a lot of looking am seriously considering this guy! Or for a more upscale/investment piece choice, the Clare V. Moyen Messenger is lovely

Cuyana Linea Bucket Bag: This bag fulfills so many ‘needs’ in the vast world of totes. It comes in many sizes and the oversized one is my go to work tote but this one with the crossbody is also great.

The leather is substantial and feels luxurious without being precious. The straps are wide and comfortable. There just enough internal organization and the size is juuust right.
