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?

Not at home at the moment so this is the one I have with me.

it’s absolutely perfect for work/travel and is much lighter than my similarly sized neverfull.

@crochetmonkey74 it's my only Hermes.

They aren't stupidly expensive and are made of coated silk, hence the name 'Silk City Bag'.

It's a lot tougher than you'd think, corners are leather as are the straps. It's one of my favourites as it's such a lovely bag to carry and very casual whilst being a gorgeous thing to look at.

I got mine pre-loved but you can get them for around £800 or so on Vestsire.

@PegasusReturns
I've been debating a belt bag for a while, but never been sure about closure as I think it would annoy me, but similarly not sure about the open nature of the cabas phantom. I love the colour of yours. What size is it?
@Ireolu love the colour / pattern on your bag! I used my years old Anya today, partly inspired by this thread to pull out some of my less often used bags.

@MavisTheMonkey that camera bag has had lots of compliments over the years. I have your bag in red :)! Got it a very long time ago from bicester village at a bargain. May get it out to wear this week heheh! It's a great bag.

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?)

Where is this from? I must have one! It looks like the perfect bag.

No I haven't yet have I!

I'm in the market for a large slouchy cross body bum bag type thing but not sure if I will use it

My three favourite ones. The big one is everyday working horse, black and white is a nice day out and the third one is the 'night out' one.

@MavisTheMonkey
the cabas is medium - big enough for a laptop. I like the fact it is open and you can just throw everything in.

I also have a belt bag (and a trapeze)but you’re right the opening is fiddly it’s a two handed job and the catch never quite aligns if you have the bag on your arm so for that reason I barely use either of the the bags.

I love this thread so much. I’m in bed just now and CBA getting up but I have a soft spot for Weekend Max Mara handbags, particularly the Pasticcino range. I have 4 different ones, I’d buy them all
if I could. Everyday favourite is this one in black:

I have some MM pastacino and they annoy me how they don't hang well from the strap. Does this bother you?

mybeautifuloak · 29/03/2023 18:26

Excuse the autocorrect. Pasticcino

They’re always slightly tilted to one side, aren’t they? I notice that particularly with the leather one but I love everything else about them, so I’m willing to put up with this.

MotherofPearl · 29/03/2023 20:32

Thanks @michaelmacrae.

I must have a thing, unknowingly, for FatFace bags! Here's mine, looking a bit battered now. It's also a bit too big; yours looks a better size.

michaelmacrae · 30/03/2023 13:42

@MotherofPearl That bag is right up my street. We have similar taste! :)

PegasusReturns · 31/03/2023 11:36

Another absolute fave of mine - I love the mustard yellow interior.

burberry gets a lot of hate but I think it’s generally very elegant.

@PegasusReturns thanks so much for pointing me in the direction of this thread! So much nicer than the other one and much more my vibe and tribe! I love your bag.
@Ireolu your bag is completely fabulous too!
I love a bag thread. I just absolutely love bags and have been collecting for many years. My feet are too big to wear nice shoes, so I’ll never be a shoe person. I’ll try and post my collection that I have out.

MummyJ12 · 31/03/2023 12:20

My collection.

Very nice @PegasusReturns !

Here are a couple of my nasty, garish Burberry bags. Because I just want the attention 😀🤣

Beautiful @SocksAndTheCity and 😂 it’s lovely to be on a thread with a mutual appreciation of these gorgeous bags.

Thank you! @Charlottemh

PawPrintsInMyPansies · 31/03/2023 15:04

@SocksAndTheCity THIS is one of the nasty, garish Burberry bags. It’s 20 years old and my daughter wants it.

And the cute furball is Jessie. She’s the same age as the bag.

That bag is a cracker @PawPrintsInMyPansies and I'm not surprised she wants it! I love a Nova check.

I'll take your oldish garish bag and raise you an even older skirt, which I wear in public and everything. I should probably be pelted with rotten fruit 😀
