What do you carry in your handbag

Whatever I can cram in.

Wallet coin purse card case hairbrush tissues medication lip balm atomiser wipes hand sanitizer pen dog poo bags shopping bag In other words TOO MUCH

Purse, phone, medical kit ( epipens, gtn, paracetamol, antihistamines) tissues and handwipes. All in a cross body bag, and if I'm shopping I tuck.in a cotton tote folded up

Well I and many others must be so Last Century Old Frill.
My car and house keys wouldn't go in a pocket, wouldn't trust them there anyway, can’t stand carrying my phone in my hands, it’s for emergencies when out. I carry cash, credit card and as a last resort Apple Pay. So its a purse, lipstick and comb, store cards, phone tissues, small bottle if water, usually something to post, that might change as a card I posted 1st class not arrived after a week, so pointless. Glasses and sun glasses. I've a bad shoulder, I need a trolley but what would i do with my handbag collection.

I never carry one, my phone has all my cards on it and goes in my pocket as do my keys and a tissue. That's all I need. It's liberating not carrying a bag.

Totally agree. Can't stand handbags, so last century 😃

And I don't bother with make up anymore !

I love handbags 😊 In my small backpack that I use for a day out of the house I have all the usual stuff - plus a power pack and spare phone charger, small tub of sweets for GC, maybe a children’s book or two, a tin opener (my daughter’s is rubbish) a sandwich toaster bag, Yorkshire Tea bags … I could go on 😂
For a quick shopping trip it’s just my phone and cards in my pocket. For a medium trip it’s a small over the shoulder jobby with phone, handcream, tissues and keys. It’s a complicated science!

No room for comb , lipstick or mirror so always a bit dishevelled .

Some handbags must be the size of a backpack going off what some of you cart about!

OMG! I can’t imagine lugging a bag filled with all that stuff around with me. As there are more people with ‘stuff’ than without I guess I’m the ‘odd’ one 🤣🤣🤣

I carry far too much stuff in my "everyday" bag -

make-up bag
mirror
hairbrush
comb
baby wipes
purse
mobile 'phone
pens & notebook
spare knickers
socks
reading glasses
Paracetamol

Actually, just thinking about it, I have lots of things in the car that I would have in my bag otherwise.

A notepad, phone charger, glasses wipes, sunglasses, fruit pastels, tic tacs

Purse
Phone
House keys
Card case (for debit cards etc)
Bus pass
Comb
Pen and notebook
Tissues.

As well as the absolute essentials -
glasses, tissues, pen/small notebook, small bottle of hand sanitizer, comb, I always carry a paperback book as I've always got my hooter in a book, and a little teddybear!

My house and work keys, mobile and purse/ID are always in my pockets incase my handbag is nicked.

I never wear any sort of makeup/nail polish so I don't have to drag such things around with me, thankfully!

Oh, and a bag of Cadbury Minstrels .... oh yumyum nomnoms!
