I’m a 25 year old who sadly looks 15 (yes, yes, I’ll appreciate it when I’m older). The worst part is that I work as a high school tutor, so I’ll go to a school to meet with a student and his teacher will assume I’m a new student. I’ve been using my old college backpack to carry around my supplies and it certainly doesn’t help this predicament. This bag would be such a big improvement!

(This may be a little low and underhanded, but here goes, in hopes of appealing to your patriotism!) I am writing for my husband. He is a pilot in the U.S. Air Force with about 3,000 combat hours, (if that helps his case at all). He wouldn’t dream of writing himself, because he doesn’t think he deserves it, but he absolutely does! He is still sporting a a navy Jansport backpack from his first year of college; 1999, that is. Every pocket has some sort of rip or tear as well as the strap is about to fall off. This backpack has flown over Afghanistan, Iraq and countless other war torn countries, as he provides support to our troops there on the ground. It often carries files, laptops and top secret information. It’s a disgrace really! Information that is a matter of national security should be carried in a sturdy, smart looking tote, such as the Bleeker! My fear is that if he continues to use this old backpack, national security may be at stake. What if an important document fell out of the holes of his tired, old backpack and into the wrong hands!? He flies over dangerous territory and fights for your freedom on way less wage than they pay airline pilots! Do yourselves… nay, your fellow COUNTRYMEN a solid favor and give this man a new tote! One that is distinguished and dignified enough to be carrying Top Secret information that may affect our lives and ultimately our freedom! Do it for a VETERAN, Do it for AMERICA! (Also, it would look really great with the wingtip boots I just bought him.)

I need a bag like this because I need to grow up and start carrying an adult bag. Time to move past the North Face backpack and walmart bags and move to something more refined such as the Coach bag.

My fiance carries a sturdy book bag with everything in it. He’s pretty well dressed, but the final accoutrement is always this black book bag with padded shoulder straps. I’m sure it does that job wonderfully, but he uses it because it is sturdy and fits everything he needs for his day. He just needs a bag that is durable, reliable, and the right size for his stuff–the Utility Tote does all that, too. It’s time for a clean break from the bag that brings the outfits down and a fresh start with a bag that brings them up.

On the subway, people often ask, "You work at the Exchange?" Unashamed, I lightly graze the bold NYSE emblem on my black, leather bag and say "Why, yes I do." Little do they know that this bag was a raffle prize at my high-school afterprom and that I didn't even know what NYSE meant when I won it. After deceiving hundreds, my guilt finally got the best of me (I am from the Midwest, after all), and I vow to dupe no longer with my Bleecker Legacy Utility Tote. Don't do it for me, do it for the hundreds of innocent New Yorkers who deserve the truth.

Ya know what’s worse than graduate school at Harvard? Going through it looking like a slob. Everyday, I’m outclassed by my peers, students, and faculty members…so it would be pretty amazing to actually have something stylish that didn’t come directly from a Goodwill bin.

The dog ate my homework, honest!

I'm going to try and win the Coach tote - a total beaut - based on pity, mostly. Being stylish on a loan-riddled grad student budget can be easy if you know how to go about it: Goodwill is great, I could plow through Buffalo Exchange until the cows come home, and Salvation Army (scratch SA, you can't shop there anymore because they're bigots) - in any case, you know the drill.

But sometimes there are things that just sing to me, and a leather backpack from Barneys was just such a singing thing. I mean, like angelic music to my ears, but with a price tag to make you incontinent. It was one of those things where I'd sneak into the store just to smell the leather and stroke the damn thing - the backpack, that is. Three months of skipped lunches later, I strolled into the store (feigning nonchalance) and with a beating heart and sweaty hands, plopped it on the counter. It was mine. Mine!

Getting home that night I placed the bag on a pillow on the sofa to make sure it was comfortable and was woken up the next morning by my dog, Max, proudly offering me a gift: the chewed-up, slobbery leather strap, and piece of the backing of the backpack. As your fellow Midwesterner Rose Nylund of the Golden Girls exclaimed to Blanche and Dorothy after telling them the story of having lost the annual Butter Queen pageant in St. Olaf, Minnesota: "Haven't I suffered enough?!" Having repurposed my freshman year nylon backpack I can't help feeling its an appropriate sentiment!

I absolutely love bags; however, I don't have the kind of money needed to invest in a really good quality bag like from Coach. Instead, I usually scour thrift stores and vintage stores. I have yet to find a real treasure, and so I'm stuck using cheaper bags that fall apart easily and don't look anywhere near as beautiful as the gorgeous tote featured here. I would love to win this bag!

I like to buy a new bag as almost a rite of passage for each new thing I'm about to do. Going to college: a Herschel-esque backpack from my college's outlet. My first time visiting New York City (carry-on allowed only for this short trip): an oversized, dark-plaid duffel with rugged leather detailing. Starting my first internship in New York City: a bright-orange canvas/brown leather tote on the way-cheap side of things at Aldo. My latest, the orange tote, barely survived summer in the city with me; its straps are falling apart and the ish-quality leather is just not the greatest.

I'm about to graduate and move back to New York in just a couple of short months. Sure, that orange tote grabs the attention due to its color, but I sometimes feel I'm carrying a hazard cone rather than a stylish hold-all...and one that's falling apart, at that. I'm moving up in the career world; it's time to move up in the accessories world with the Coach Legacy that can hold my metrocard, laptop, scarf (moving this winter!), notebooks, pens (I'm a writer), headphones, magazines, notes to self to remain sane.

Midwestyle, I want this bag. I need this bag. Without it, it's either me sticking to the hazard-cone bag or lugging around the duffel that looks like I'm carrying bricks or lumberjack tools--not the best look, nor a convenient size.

Many thanks. - Justin
