Shopping for Small, Chic Backpacks

 My most-used bag all year is a 

Black, 6"wide x 8.5" tall embossed croc Backpack from Aldo. 

2 zippered compartments. Silver hardware.
With skinny, belt buckle adjustable straps made of matching croc material.
The best part about the backpack is that the material is stiff, so it has structure and
a bit of weight. It keeps its form.
It's also a casual style (backpack), made dainty (small size), and
classy (slightly shiny, croc material).

The only issue I have with this bag is that it can be
just Slightly too small for anything like a journal/tablet/book. 

This is post is shopping for a backpack w/ a similar effect,
but a bit larger. 8" wide x 10" tall would be the ideal size to still
look like a small backpack, but able to fit a little bit more.

DKNY - Abby backpack 

Sale for CAD $173.40 down from $250

Dimensions: 9" L x 12.25" H x 6" W

100% PVC

(so slightly larger than I wanted & a pleather bag for almost $200 is dumb)

Betsey Johnson - SLITHERING SKULL BACKPACK

$98 CAD

Dimensions not provided!

I've decided I definitely want something slightly different from my current one,

so not just another Black backpack.

Tory Burch - Piper backpack

She has a few that are almost exactly the Size I want:

Height: 10.8" x  9" x 4.2" deep

But I don't care for the style & they ain't cheap!

Eastpak - small backpack

$95 CAD

11.4" tall x 8.7" wide

A bit big & also I'm not crazy about the sporty straps.

I freakin love this one, but it's the same size as my current one!!

:(

adidas - 3 striped backpack

$90 CAD

8" x 6" 

Coach - Carrie backpack

$375 CAD

The perfect size. Not so perfect price.

9" (L) x 10 1/2" (H) x 4" (W)

Hobo - Revel mini backpack

Sale $60 USD

Now this is Real leather, including a calfhair section, at a decent price.

Unfortunately it is also only 0.5" and 0.75" larger than my current one.

 8.75" H x 6.5" W x 4" D

Aimee Kestenberg - Tamitha Mini Leather Backpack

On sale for $65 USD ($85 CAD)

Nordstrom Rack did not send me to their Canadian site, 

so these above 2 are in USD.

It's the perfect size and it's not boring. It's also real leather and a good price.

Is the opening too annoying?

 11”H x 8”W x 5”D
