Help...

Bags have always been one of my few weaknesses (along with beauty products, especially ones with pretty packaging; and shoes that fit me, they're difficult to come by, see). But I've never been one to indulge in bags, never feeling the urge to purchase all different brands and colours to adorn the shelves of my wardrobe. Well, I may have felt the urge, but believe me I've never acted on it. Probably because I've never been able to juggle school and a job very well, which has pretty much left me penniless for longer than I'd like (never fear, a serious job hunt is taking place at the moment, alas no responses as of yet). However, the time has come for a new bag. My current was perfect for school, but so large and inappropriate for everyday wear it's laughable.
This is where I need the help of my readers. I'm fairly certain of what kind of bag I'd like, but I can't for life of me figure out how to find it. It may look something like...

Mulberry
Alexa Leather bag
AUD$1,217 approx.

Marc by Marc Jacobs
Natasha Totally Turnlock bag
AUD$426 approx.

Proenza Schouler
PS1 Medium satchel
AUD$2,067 approx.

Proenza Schouler
PS1 Medium leather satchel
AUD$2,067 approx.

Am I giving the right idea? I suppose a satchel, or some variation on a satchel. Practical but stylish. I'm pretty open to colours, just not something too out-there that will clash with absolutely everything else I own.
So please, readers, help me find either these bags for a more appropriate price for a gal on a budget, or bags like these with more affordable prices from anywhere you can think of. Thanks in advance for your help, lovelies!

p.s. you may have noticed a lack of Fashion Week coverage here at the robins. Well way back when, I was an avid Fashion Week blogger, and as fun as it was it really did just take up too much time I didn't have, unfortunately. So I've made a point of leaving the Fashion Week coverage to those who could actually do it appropriate justice. Except of course, the Paris shows. Dior, in particular. So check back here when Paris FW rolls around, and you might be in for a little runway treat.
