I am a bag addict but particularly love seeing well worn, squashy bag or backpacks (I also love seeing people 'in the wild' with their planners or diaries-am I sad?)
In the spirit of the 'show us your engagement ring' threads -anyone fancy a 'show us your bag' thread?

These are my current rotation. A roomy Isabel Marant canvas tote I use for work in the office days, and Oroton (Australian brand) & Marc Jacobs cross body bags, which I love using when out & about because they leave my hands free. I have a lifelong obsession with bags & have a huge collection of old, new, luxe (for me) and cheap & cheerful.

the silver bag is Clark’s, blue is Biba and brown is Osprey- all sale bargains

my fave is the tiny gold one which barely fits a phone!

I've never seen a bag like this , was this from etsy?

It's from Joe Browns it was my Christmas present. My only criticism of it is that there is no zip just a magnetic closure which does work quite well, but I prefer a zip

@GailTheSnail thanks! That's the one that gets the most comments when I wear it

Ooh @Catspyjamas17 really like that backpack - where's it from?

It's just from Monsoon/Accessorize! They do a slight tweak to the style every year but it's basically the same, and they do them in several colours.

Could you post the link for your lovely bag please.

My Whipping Post Standard tote. Full grain gorgeous leather that every scratch, scuff, stain and patina will tell a story.

Love this bag, is there a uk stockist?

MrsCharlieD · 24/03/2023 21:21

This is my YSL Nikki bag. So practical, fits my purse, phone, keys, asthma inhaler and all the other junk I seem to accumulate. I bought it with a bonus from work and it's a bag I reach for all the time.

Here’s mine! Big enough to fit a kindle but nice and lightweight.

I’ve had my eye on a YSL bag for a while but every time I think I can justify it, something with the house or car comes up - I don’t think it’s meant to be!

Moredrama · 24/03/2023 23:09

These are my current ones - satchel for work which has plenty of space for laptop, paperwork & notebooks
And crossbody for weekend which my husband bought for me recently - surprisingly roomy. Fits purse, keys, phone, etc and has little compartments inside

@TheActualDuck. Unfortunately no, I purchased when I lived in the states. However any shipping and taxes would be still worth it to get this bag. It is that gorgeous plus not many have heard of this brand in the UK so that’s kinda nice

michaelmacrae · 24/03/2023 23:38

I love a bag thread :) I have books on bag designs and the history of the handbag. Bags make me happy! This is mine but brown. Love it, it's crossbody but carries a LOT! phone, purse, earphones, makeup bag, glasses, umbrella, keys, meds, tissues, spare shopping bag, chewing gum, hand cream. Can also fit my kindle and / or diary too (sadly not both at the same time unless I chuck something out). Have literally used it every single day since I got it!

(Does anyone else pretend they're doing a What's in my bag video, while talking to themselves, when no one can see? No - just me?)

This is the same as/similar to my own Elvis and Kresse tote. (Cba to get up and take a pic) Made out of recycled fire hoses. Years old, helps charity and I love it. Look them up. Amazing 🤩
