Leather briefcase/messenger bag with shoulder strap

finding it hard to decide between these four, they're all second hand being sold for 30-50€. Picture No. 1 is just described as "vintage", No. 2 is supposedly a bespoke bag from a Spanish manufacturer. No. 3 is a "Leather Messenger Bag" from H&M and the last one is a Fossil Estate I think.

2 has a great patina. There are a lot of vintage Coach bags close to this price point btw

maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing? when I look up "vintage coach bag" they're all quite small

#1 gives me alibaba/amazon/dropshipping vibes but could be wrong there, just would avoid personally. 2 looks good, 4 looks nice too. Depending on where you're searching, I would ditch the term vintage and just try to be more specific in other ways

I wasn't searching for vintage specifically but yeah, #1 looks the worst to me too. basically just want a brown leather bag that fits my laptop that I can carry by a handle or a shoulder strap (both as an option on the same bag)

I'm getting some larger results with "mens coach bag" and "coach briefcase" on ebay But also it's ebay which, y'know, may not be ideal depending on location and preference haha

getting some results with that but they're either a very different style or much more expensive than 50€
