Does anyone still use a purse?

Honestly can't remember the last time I carried or used cash. If you use a card holder, how do you get on with it? And any recommendations for a nice leather one - up to £100 ish?

I have Apple Pay on my Apple watch so can literally leave the house without anything, not even my phone on me (provided I don’t want to spend more than £45 in one go)

I rarely carry cash but do have a small zip up card purse which can fit cash in if need be, which Ive had for donkeys years and I think was about a quid from primark. And that’s after years of lugging around giant expensive purses with all my worldly goods inside.

My cards live in my phone case and I have a selection of change in my car drinks holder for trolleys and occasional parking meters that don't use ringo etc. I travel pretty light these days

I have a few purses; which one I use depends on the handbag I'm using.

I think I mentioned on another thread that I love Aspinal bags but find their purses don't have enough slots. Otoh I'm not a fan of Radley bags but I do like their purses. I quite like the sense of fun on some of them when they have a fetching saying or a sweet scene stitched in them.

Whichever purse you buy, please check that it will really suit the use you want it for. I've been caught out a few times previously.

Disfordarkchocolate where did you get your leather phone case from? Been looking for a really nice leather phone case for ages.

My really nice one was from Torro. It was lovely, next time I'll get black and red though.
