The perfect bag...

I love bags, probably because it's hard for me to find good shoes.  I guess if I created Carrie Bradshaw rather than Candace Bushnell, I'd make her a bag lover.  I'm always looking for the perfect one.  I have actually found and pre-ordered one for the spring from 442 McAdam, but what about the winter?  The bag I use most often is a black nylon Prada bag I got several years ago on sale.  I don't even think it's available anymore.  It's black, and great most of the year.  Like back in the summer when I wrote about bag choices, I'm looking for an alternative.  I saw this one from Coach (Mia), but it might be too light for Toronto's snowy weather:

The bag also comes in navy blue, teal, purple and, according to the Coach website.  A non-patent version is also available, but in black and brown only.  It's bigger than a typical purse for petites, but it'll carry a lot that I need.

Then, there's this Kate Spade felt Treesh.  I haven't bought anything from Kate Spade in a while - her stuff disappeared from Toronto stores for a couple of years.  I think I've seen this at Holt Renfrew, but it might look too much like something that one would buy and use only for one season (it DOES look a little winter-ish, no?).  It also doesn't have zippers, which means that your wallet isn't as secure.

Shoulder Bags by MICHAEL Michael Kors

Then there's the above patent python Michael Michael Kors bag. It's patent python, but the official Michael Kors site says it's "oversized."  It also sounds like it could be very heavy.  Michael Kors also has a series of quilted bags, this season, under their Hamilton line. 

I know I probably should be getting something other than black or brown and should expand to other colours (I have a bag or two which is all purple and a handful of mustard coloured ones too)...what do you guys think?
