Find a piece · Leather tote bag
Structure is a feature nobody uses.
Buy a stiff tote and you inherit its opinions. It stands up on the floor, holds a rectangle whether or not you filled one, and takes up the same room in the overhead bin empty as full. The Los Feliz goes the other way on purpose: oversized, soft, and content to fold down around whatever is actually in there. Slouch is not a flaw the pattern failed to prevent. It is the entire design.
This is The Sak's best-seller, in leather, and the indigo reads closer to a well-worn denim than to anything in a boardroom. Soft leather earns its keep on the third year rather than the first day — it takes the creases you put in it and stops looking new in a way that flatters the owner. A structured bag ages by getting scuffed. This one ages by getting yours.
The size is where the money goes. Large is genuinely large, and if you have ever bought the big one and then carried the small one every day, you already know which line below to read.

Where it goes
The one-shoulder version of the same soft-leather argument is a crescent that hangs against the ribs.

Pair either with the loafer built on a walking sole and the commute stops being a negotiation.
