man purse/ murse/ satchel/ musette

[dashDustin]

I need a small bag for daily, office use. Ideally like a heavy duty musette, to carry office stuffs + lunch, the occasional bubbly water. Casual environment + some bike use, so I'm sticking with Cordura or the like, rather than leather/ cotton.

I've found the IF Musette for the most minimal use, but also Mr. Sachs' Mini...both from Baileyworks.

I think something in the middle would be most ideal (mainly the adjustable strap), but...can't seem to find 'it'. Y'all know of anything?

i'm a big fan of timbuktu bags. they are really well made, affordable and i think they still have a lifetime warranty. the mini or micro would probably suit your needs.

^^^ beat me to it. I have used the same Timbuk2 classic messenger bag for this very thing since the last century, and black is the new black around the office and other non-bike civilian settings.

They've been popping up on my grams and FB a lot since I've started this search. Wasn't sure if they were legit, or just heavy with social medias. Good to know you approve.

They make my favorite hiking shorts ever. And my backpack has been going strong for a couple years. We got my son a mini version of mine, though I can't really say he's put it through the paces given he's not even 5. I like the stuff, though. You can also get some kinda out there color schemes or go very understated.

So, yeah....I'm gonna predict that you and my cat* will cost me a lot of money.

Never got around to carrying my Macbook, because I was able to do most of what I needed on my iPad. However, I recently went down the Tom Bihn rabbit hole following my cat peeing on my carry-on bag. While he and I have since made up, I did need a new carry-on. Typically my carry-on is a backpack, and I needed one immediately, so I just went and grabbed a North Face Borealis from REI. But I've easily spent at least 2hrs digging through Tom Bihn's website admiring damn near every single product of theirs. In of moment of weakness, I grabbed a Le Grande Derriere. And a couple smaller organizing pouches. This could become a habit.
