Wife wants a high quality leather purse for Christmas (NOT “luxury” brands)
I love love love the three bags I have gotten from Shinola. Detroit based, most bags are $700 or less (I live by an outlet, I do not have $700 bag money but I do have $300 bag money.) A pebbled tote, the mailman bag for spouse, and a canvas bag I use in winter.

Professional, leather work bags?
Check brands like Cuyana or Coach for zippered leather totes and troubadour or Carl Friedrik for sleek leather backpacks. Shinola is great buy pricey Massimo dutti looks good but not as durable long term. Go for full grain leather if you want it to last.

What’s the toughest wallet you’ve ever owned?
Leatherology’s Thin Bifold Wallet. My team has tested a ton of wallets and this one is our top pick for its high-quality leather and classic, slim profile. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, we also like Shinola’s Slim Bifold Wallet and Montblanc’s Meisterstuck 6cc Leather Wallet. Both are durable, nice looking options for keeping cash and cards organized.
