New Soft Leather Tan Handbag?

I am looking for a quality leather handbag in tan. Not too firm and structured, big enough for the essentials and an A5 filofax, casual enough for everyday use but also OK to take to work on occasion.

These are three I a like so far, but looking for any other options to consider before I order one.

I think this is my favourite so far, because the short handle is short enough for me to hold, but also long enough to go over my should but still sit under my arm, not sure I like them on my shoulder flaping at the hip. I have never worn across the body as I feel the strap will get lost in between my massive boobs.

What others should I consider, or any that you would recommend from personal experience?

Thanks

I have no experience of the ones you have linked to but I like the 2nd two, I'm looking for something similar and have been looking at fossil bags and they look pretty good ...seem to have moved on a bit from when I bought fossil many years ago.

This shopper looks like it would fit the bill but there are other bags if you are more flexible in colour.

I have the Petite Parisian in black, I'm 5'3 and don't reach for it the handles annoy me

may I ask what it is about the handles that are annoying? I have never really used bags so am a bit clueless about what to consider.

I should have realised that 2 long straps always annoy me, one ends up dropping of my shoulder and looking sloppy. I need shorter handles that sit in the crook of my elbow, or cross body
