A HANDbag?

As I ve no car so bag is always on my shoulder not too much ....keys, purse, phone, tissues, and a fold up very lightweight shopping bag

I never carry a heavy bag and for that reason most of my handbags are fake leather. I've never been able to understand why anyone would have a handbag that weighs a ton before it even has anything in it.

In my handbag is lipstick, comb, purse and my Freedom Pass. I hide my keys so I don't carry them.

Most of the time I have keys phone and keys my glasses round my neck, I only carry a bag if I'm going out to lunch or a function. Then I have keys,purse, tissues, phone, pen and my glasses.

I am reducing my requirements regularly.
A coat or clothes with pockets and a hood and a phone with plastic.

I only use a small cross body bag now.....its small size means I have to be selective. A purse, phone, keys, tissues, pen, small notebook, lipstick, and small torch (we live in countryside where there are few street lights).

I don't own a real handbag. I have a little backpack in purple fabric. When I go out, it contains a cotton handkerchief, Emery board, purse, phone and tablet (the electronic sort), ibuprofen tablets and Rennies. When going to Knit and Natter it also carries a selection of crochet hooks, a stitch marker, scissors and a darning needle!

You're right Greyduster, I'd forgotten about the little fold up shopping bag. And the small hand mirror. And the glasses. Other than that, I carry very little......

It depends what I am doing or where I am going but I prefer to travel light and usually have a small bag that just contains my purse, keys and phone. www.shoegarden.co.uk/products/healthy-baglett-black-small

I have been carrying a bag on my left shoulder since I was 11 and had to carry a heavy satchel to school.

It's not a handbag as such and these days I try to wear a cross-body bag. Every so often I tip it out on to the kitchen table and have a sort out and marvel at what I find in there.

I have quite a big bag that doesn't have all that much in it but can I ever find my keys...........?
