I have, um, maybe 10-15 handbags? I will carry one particular bag for months at a time, then decide it is time to switch bags and spend an evening going through the whole changing-over-handbag ritual. Moving everything from one bag to the other, doing some minor hedge-witchery with good luck charms, that sort of stuff.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Travel question: I can put my laptop in the suitcase I'm carrying on, right? (I know I'll have to take it out for the scanner....)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, stain is off my counter. Yay! I am much less insane now. Also, the two-hour nap probably helped.
Now I should do laundry and pack.

I have three that get used, one that used to be used a lot, and a bunch I use never. Of the three, one gets used only on weekends (holds just key and wallet,) one gets used on weekends if I am carrying more than that and now when I travel, and the third is a monster I use only if travelling with anything bulkier than a couple books, ipod and a waterbottle.
And then I carry a satchel to work.

ita, I have one that I carry until it gets retired or repaired. I used to be better about changing for spring and fall, but not so much now. If I was going to an event, I would probably invest in a coordinating bag for an outfit, but I haven't been in that situation in long time.

This was me for a long time. The fact that it looked like Giles' was just bonus. Wonder where that is?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have about 5. One I carry every day (this one [link] which is AWESOME), and a couple of dressy bags, and some old ones, which I keep around in case I need them.

Oh yeah. Whatever handbag I'm carrying is completely separate from my bookbag. (My MCR bookbag, because I am completely devoid of shame.)

The leather satchel is in need of a good cleaning treatment. It's 12 years old and kinda beat up. But I love it. Handmade in Prague. I've spilled water and robitussin in it. I've mashed bananas into it. None of that ruined it at all. But the leather needs a good conditioning.
Julie, may your cat get bored and come home.

I have three purses--the everyday one that's big enough to hold everything, including a book or two up to trade paperback size, and with a long enough strap that I can wear over my shoulder to be hands-free, a fancy clutch I almost never use, and a tiny cloth one in a sort of Indian patchwork that's just big enough to hold ID and money.

I have a couple of purses I use regularly, but I use them interchangeably with totes and cloth bags depending on how much stuff I have. I never want to carry more than one bag. I have one little going out purse that gets used probably once every couple of months.
