the perfect everyday black bag

A gorgeous Marc by Marc Jacobs, I love their pebbled leather, and their signature turnlock looks really classic. This one is a zip top Totally Turn-Lock Teri Shoulder Bag -  Neiman Marcus

I also love this M by MJ bag as well, Totally Turnlock Quinn Shoulder Bag -  Neiman Marcus It doesn’t have the zip top, but it does have the turnlock and looks really roomy.

And this M by MJ is probably one of their most popular, the Faridah hobo Turn-Lock Faridah Hobo, Cranberry Field or Nero -  Neiman Marcus

Do you like Kooba? They have lovely, leather, mid-range handbags. This one has a really unique shape and would certainly stand out! Riley - Kooba Official Store

If you want something that is a little more classic you might consider this Botkier bag http://www.botkier.com/handbags/rex_hobo.html make sure to switch the color so that you can see it in black. Their leather and finishing is really superb.

BlueFly always has a great bargains too, today they are running a promotion with 15% off everything! Here’s a few things that I found:

This Furla bag has form and function, and is a suede option that you could consider Furla black suede ‘Empire’ large shoulder bag at Bluefly

This Celine bag is GORGEOUS, but it is priced above what you intended to spend, check it out anyway! Celine black calfskin wooden hardware shoulder bag at Bluefly
