purse, handbag or pocketbook?
Comments (47)I call mine purse or handbag. I've been searching for the "perfect" purse for about six years now. It's still eluding me. It needs to have shoulder straps that are not adjustible (I don't like the buckles and snaps) but not be too long for my short height. It must have lots of zippered compartments but still be "lightweight". I want it to have little metal feet and no velcro anywhere. Zippers only. It needs to be able to hold two checkbooks, a large sunglasses case, blood sugar monitor case, wallet, keys, phone, pens, address book, small cosmetic bag, dog whistle, note pad, pill box, and Kleenex...all in easy-to-access compartments where they don't get jumbled up together. It need to have a light colored interior so I can see what's inside. When I find the "perfect" purse, I'm buying four in black, two in taupe, one in red, and one in grey. That should take care of my purse needs from now to the Pearly Gates....See MoreHandbag afficionados: can you help with ID?
Comments (75)You are too funny. Here in our area I have not seen those under 18 carrying VB. It is hugely popular with the college crowd here though. I also have not seen those 65 and up carrying VB. I'll admit I haven't really looked, but it sure hasn't been something I've noticed. I know alot of the moms (which is probably the 25-40ish age group) like VB and have the diaper bags. Her cross body bags are popular here. And in our nearby touristy area, there is a VB outlet. I've also noticed alot of VB (discounted) at a local Steinmart. I bought a friend a VB bag for Christmas - and she is 57, although looks much younger but the VB bag looks good on her. I like some of the black with bright prints because I wear alot of black and brights, but I also wear a good many prints/patterns, so the bags often clash with my clothing. I like the VB laptop bags too....See MoreMore fashion: favorite handbag/purse designers?
Comments (91)thanks, thanks a lot :) I am now going to look on ebay. I have found my perfect purse, wallet and laptop/work bag (backpack). They are coach. I carried them for about 10 years in brown (mahogany). since I used them daily they were kind of beat up by then and I decided I wanted to start using black. I found the exact bags, all three, in black, gently used, on ebay. it took some searching but I love them still. I think I need a back up though and as time goes on I am sure it will be harder to find. I need to set up my searches on ebay again!...See MoreAnother "Purse" topic: Purse organizers
Comments (24)I like my current purse. It's not very big but is big enough for me. Has an outside zippered pocket that I put house keys, earphones, and the key ring that has all my store mini rewards cards on. Another outside pocket that has a snap, doesn't get used. There are little side slits that I keep my cell phone in and use the other side to carry cds (books from library) that I listen to in the car. They fit in there perfectly and keep the cd from getting scratched up when I'm carrying a bunch of other stuff to my car. Inner portion has a large area for my wallet, car keys and lotion pod. There is also a zippered area inside that has big rewards cards, on the other inner portion there are 3 pockets that I keep lip gloss, pens, eye drops and chap stick in. I now wish I had bought 2 of these purses so when this one wears out I would not have to go in search of another 'perfect' purse....See Morecentralcacyclist
