Clutches and purses and bags, oh my!

In my current existence in Romania I only have two purses.  One is a fake leather one that was a free gift with purchase at DSW a couple years ago and the other was a gift last year, it's small and cute and cloth.  Both are nice, but have taken quite a beaten from the amount of use they have received in my Peace Corps life.  The lining of the fake leather one is ripping away from the outer shell.  They will both last me until I leave Romania, but I have begun to dream of a new purse for when I return.  I picture a buttery leather, something that I can hopefully use in whatever job awaits me. 

I believe that to find the right purse you must touch it; to feel the weight of it on your shoulder and make sure it fits all your "necessities."  Today I found myself looking at some beauties that I would definitely like to check out in person.
