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.

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

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?

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 .

Oh handbags...my favourite subject Wink

I'm currently alternating between

Or

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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?
