Backpack, clutch or handbag?

Back pack girl myself unless I go out (rare event) then it’s a black one I bought at the charity shop and had for years
Serves its purpose it’s still bright and clean and the right size

I use a Kipling back pack, I have 2 which I tend to rotate. I also have cross body bags for change and anything I need quickly.

That photo is so 50s. I love the 50s!!

Crossbody every time. I used to like shoulder bags but ended up with aching side, backpack too awkward to access, while the crossbody lightweight but capable, like the Kipling, are just ideal.

I love my Kipling bags as well Discogran I have several. Many years ago there was a Bally factory in the town where I lived, I had friends working there and I was able to buy their bags and shoes at a fraction of the usual price.

I love handbags and have lots. Radley and Kipling I have collected for years, all mainly cross body bags, so I have both hands free!
This January my OH presented me with a Mulberry, sadly it’s only been out twice as we are staying home these days.

I am not a bag lady! I find I just fill them with rubbish I never use. It’s an adventure when I am actually looking for something and I have to hunt through. I do use one for work, but the rest of the time just use a purse with a wrist strap. It holds my phone, a bank card and a few coins and that does it for me.

I have this very old fashioned one of my mother’s but oddly enough it is much admired if I use it when”out”

I bought a backpack style bad for last years holiday in Germany which was fine as it held my iPad and a bottle of water along with everything else for the travelling part, but I ended up carrying it by the handles more often than not.
For security and easy access to tic jets/travel cards and wallet plus comfort I woukd always go for a crossbody.
I have a couple of Radleys , a Cambridge satchel (lovely leather but can be heavy so hard on the neck and whichever shoulder) a Cath Kidston for summer and currently a tan leather I bought from JL years ago with two compartments plus a front pocket which fasten. It’s about the size of an iPad so will take my iPad mini if I need it for the train.
-only not likely to be going anywhere by train again for a while
I do also have several “smart” handbags for the occasional posh event -or sad event like funerals.
I am very much a Bag Lady !

I have a few, mainly shoulder, a couple of fancy clutches for special occasions. My most used is a Kipling one, extremely light, carries all I need on a daily basis. Most importantly it has a soft strap that can be quickly made longer to use as a cross body bag. They make backpacks too.

bluebell please, not the F (or FH) word.?

I am far to embarrassed to own up to the number of bags I have, but I have got rucksacks, totes, clutches, cross body, small ones, evening ones and beach bags.

I rotate my bags according to weather and what or where I am going/doing.

No I don’t but I know where you can get Flying ones from ?

So.....8 plus rucksacks !!

Yes! And for some reason, I’ve suddenly stopped using any of them. I spotted a nifty little orange backpack when the shops opened after lockdown and have used nothing else since. I might not use it for a formal occasion but when did one of those last go into the diary?!

Not really, if I’m not using a bag I tend to charity it.

I have a winter and summer best bag, and cross shoulder small purse type winter and summer.

I do have rucksacks etc. Oh and sort of holiday and beach type bag. Oh and a couple of bags for use when it’s a black tie long gown type of do. Oh and a couple of posh wedding type clutch bags.

That’s it☺️ I think.
