I am nosy Grin and I'd love to know what handbag you are all using right now. Post a pic if you can. I'm after a new one and would like some inspiration!

My current one is this: www.bettyhemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/Longchamp-Planetes-Hobo-Bag-01.jpg

But mine is brown not black.

I am in heaven clicking on all these links Grin
A surprise each time Smile

I love handbags (clearly). A handbag always looks the same even if you have a stone to lose and your hair is rubbish. It's like a completely faithful friend saddo

I have already posted upthread about my everyday bag but just popprd bag for a quick brag about my favourite bag which is <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.julesb.co.uk/womenswear-2/winter-tartan-bag-728942-875537_image.jpg&imgrefurl=www.julesb.co.uk/womenswear-2/winter-tartan-bag-728942.htm&h=855&w=665&sz=70&tbnid=bD8b0rPQn-Ra2M:&tbnh=90&tbnw=70&zoom=1&usg=__TGX3ZZRS-LAHtIrQDa5yvzIuxlA=&docid=MHRejXZBQMRZfM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=NmuWUfu9O-X40gWkpIC4Dw&ved=0CFgQ9QEwBA&dur=2183" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this but in black, grey, brown and beige. Gorgeous and goes with anything.

Housewife, I love your bays tote

Raptorrethy · 17/05/2013 21:33

nowaistatall linking to P&M reminds me I have admired the Olivia from afar for ages...it's now out of stock.

Does anyone have the Olivia? Is it very narrow depth-wise?

Tipid..i have a vw bag too. V similar to you. Can we be bag twins

MooseBeTimeForSpring · 17/05/2013 21:38

Either my Longchamp Arbre De Vie like this but in white

Or this my tan Storksak Sofia

MacaYoniAndCheese · 17/05/2013 21:45

This in Ocean Blue. It's quite structured, smells like a saddlery and is big enough for my iPad and diary. I love it so much I got it in red, black and plum too .

DH bought me this for Christmas and the matching purse for my birthday - I love it.

Barbie1 · 17/05/2013 21:50

Oh handbags...my favourite subject Wink

I'm currently alternating between

www.net-a-porter.com/product/334900?cm_mmc=ProductSearch--gb--Shoulder_Bags-_-The&gclid=CIHMnuGAnrcCFVDMtAodpGAAAw

Or
www.balenciaga.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BA_US-Site/en_US/mProduct-Show?pid=805244830&start=3&cgid=%2fshop-products%2faccessories%2fwomen%2fhandbags%2fclassic

Or if I'm going somewhere without the kids I carry my Chanel 2.55... Well I'm in paris so it's rude not too Wink

I also love my mulberry and tanner Krolle bags, currently all sat in dust bags and haven't seen the light of day in a while due to mostly carrying around the stork sac which is full of nappies, mini raisins and toy cars Hmm

Cavort · 17/05/2013 22:01

I alternate between my <a class="break-all" href="//www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=waitingonmartha.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Chloe.jpg&imgrefurl=waitingonmartha.com/bag-stalking-with-martha/&h=690&w=460&sz=78&tbnid=NlVo9SlZTE06tM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=60&zoom=1&usg=__dHyM4HXYK3ZkMGdKMWD91Xz3hWA=&docid=uhyiLEG_Lux2YM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=JJmWUdJrxvjSBeLageAJ&ved=0CDwQ9QEwAw&dur=3145" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chloe Parity in tan or my black Gucci Jackie depending on what I am wearing.

I am currently expecting DC1 and I am determined my lovely bags will not be replaced by a changing bag despite my friends telling me otherwise. Grin

ChablisLover · 17/05/2013 22:03

I am alternating between a blue version of the zara a like shopper from stylist pick and an anya hindmarch maxi satchel in red.

Also have a pauric Sweeney hobo bag in reserve

Have stored my winter handbag away - mulberry roxanne in purple. I love this bag.

Barbie1 · 17/05/2013 22:22

cavort being the bag junkie that I am, I too was determined not to have a baby bag...

Until a bottle leaked all over the mulberry and a yogurt exploded in the Chloe Shock thankfully they cleaned up ok.

Stork sac was the closest thing to not looking like a baby bag.

I still throw the baby bag under the pram and carry a nice bag Blush.

I'm such a bag snob

janji · 17/05/2013 22:26

Black oversized mulberry del rey.

Hulababy · 17/05/2013 22:30

A mulberry messenger one in dark chocolate brown leather - like this: www.mulberry.com/#/storefront/c5828/1138/moreviews/

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/05/2013 22:34

MN is unreal. Handbag threads are the only ones that make me think MN and reality are completely removed from each other. I don't know a single person irl with a Mulberry handbag but every other person on here seems to have one!

My favourite was from the Hobbs sale and is a tan leather camera bag. It was £60.

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 17/05/2013 22:45

But to be fair, Remus, you are in the S&B section where peeps tend to be interested in fashion bag obsessed Grin

HousewifeFromHeaven · 17/05/2013 22:46

remus I don't know anyone apart from myself who owns one either. Everyone thinks I'm crazy. That's why I love MN, I can share bag love without being made to feel I shouldn't spend so much.

ChablisLover · 17/05/2013 22:56

Love handbags. S&b laies are a bad influence on me.

A colleague has a lv ( logo one) but my anya is going unnoticed. That's hey I love it - it's understated and not in your face.

ChablisLover · 17/05/2013 22:56

Ladies!

Blooming IPhone ( or the 1/2 bottle of sauv Blanc!)

Camwombat · 17/05/2013 22:57

I have this bag www.onebrowncow.co.uk/handbags-and-accessories/nicky-james/nicky-james-birds-and-flowers-grey-cross-body-bag/prod_3480.html sadly mine has a puree stain on it where DS put an unfinished open one in it unnoticed, grump....

Teeny, so use a tote as well, but the lock makes me happy every time I use it Smile

Corygal · 17/05/2013 23:03

I was sitting here cackling at all the people rushing onthread to display their Mulberries & then I realised I was using mine today...

It is a properly vintage one - cross-body, tiny, none of the bells and whistles of the statement bags. I think it's older than me. Indestructible. Hang onto them, is all I can say, they never die.

TheOriginalSteamingNit · 17/05/2013 23:06

You know the advert for VW Polos, with the tall woman? She has a slouchy brown bag in one bit which I love, and I want it.

Any ideas?

HousewifeFromHeaven · 17/05/2013 23:08

What does everyone think of Louis Vuitton purse

I have a multicolore zippy coin that I've used for three years and still looks like new but I need a bigger one.

I like a nice bright purse so that I can see it!

Which other purses are similar can anyone recommend?

Stevie77 · 18/05/2013 00:11

remus you assume people tell the truth...
