Help me find this bag

Can you help me find a more durable dupe for this tote bag?

I own and love this bag, but it's starting to wear out. I love that the sides are actually zippered pockets and that it has three interior pockets -- I always lose my stuff in the bottom of the bag in regular totes. I also love the structured shape of the bag.

I want something more durable that'll stand up to everyday commuting. Have you seen anything similar made out of leather or another similarly durable material?

Looks like ebags might have one - search for "satchel" instead of "tote". I really like this one.

This one is nice.

I have the LeDonne that LKWorking links to - I've had it for several years and it's holding up great. Looks like it cost more than it did. (If you're not in a rush, you might be able to get it for less during eBags' occasional sale - I think they also offer a discount if you sign up for their email blasts.)

another term to google for is 'leather shopper tote'.

Another ebag option: Derek Alexander Triple Compartment Shopper. (note that the lining is now black)

Frye makes a few totes & shoppers that are very similar to the bag you linked. Try searching for Frye’s Melissa tote or the Campus tote (shopper?) or the Ilana tote. I’m not very good at linking with my phone, sorry! Amazon, Zappos, and eBay tend to list Frye bags at huge discounts. In my experience, they tend to be well made and last for years.

This looks a lot like Madewell's tote. I've used variations of the Madewell tote for years and love it.

Seconding Madewell. I have one as my work bag and it has held up beautifully.
