Sometimes you just want a bag that you can abuse...cram full of life's necessities...carry around in the rain and snow...and chuck on the floor when it gets too heavy. Of course, it helps if the bag is also stylish and has a certain...character. Though I haven't seen it in person I think this antiqued leather Miu Miu bag may fit the bill.

A bag like this is begging me to throw a toothbrush in it, run away, and travel the world...or at least go to the library to get a massive pile of books (which would, of course, fit in my bag).
