The Perfect Day Bag

As I've gotten older, I've realized the importance of the everyday day bag. I need to haul a lot on a daily basis and as much as I envy those who can pull off an oversized clutch on a regular basis, I just can't. So how can I turn this ordinary cognac leather into something that's my own. It looks great right now, but I'm thinking a great racing stripe down the center in a neon for a pop of color would do the trick. It's a pretty simple DIY that could be accomplished with simple paint or even spray paint. What better way to get around with everything you need?
