Do use a handbag still

[rainydogday]

Since paying by phone has taken over and less use for cash or cards I never seem to use a handbag. Off I go with just my phone and coat with various things tugged in pockets. But I feel that I need to re-organise my self. Do you still have handbag, purse, phone all separately? The last purse I used was a massive spotty cath kidston one!

I haven't really used a handbag since having kids! I just shove stuff into pockets like you

No really rarely now, just phone & bits in pockets.

I always carry a bag, I feel my pockets aren't secure enough for my phone and keys. I've noticed hardly anyone else seems to carry a handbag.

Yes I love love love handbags so will always carry one!

Not so much in the winter. The pockets on my Didriksons are massive, and warm.

Just a small cross body bag with a foldie uppy shopping bag just in case! Phone in pocket always. If the weather is bad, then a slightly bigger bag to carry an umbrella.

I never leave the house without a bag. However I always carry the 'essentials' - makeup, umbrella, water bottle, mirror, hand sanitiser etc as well as phone, purse and keys

I feel so frumpy and mumsy if I do take one out. For example on a night out if I need to put keys, lipstick in it etc. mind you I am mumsey! If you were to buy a new bag what would it be? I don't mean high end designer, but what style? I do like a nice brown soft leather type.

I do, all the time. Partly because I love bags so enjoy choosing one and using it but I also hate stuff in pockets.

I guess I do carry a lot of stuff. Like to have lip balm, mini deodorant etc.

My keys are heavy, I've usually got a water bottle and other bits.

I can mind last time I carried a handbag. Even the clutch bag I carried for a wedding only had my vape in it :)

I do have a cross body purse which takes my loyalty cards and phone and a few small items and thats it

Since I started wearing reading glasses I’ve realised why ‘older’ women are rarely without a handbag!

Uniqlo mini shoulder bag like this. Round Mini Shoulder Bag (Corduroy) | UNIQLO GB Lots of different colours and they are like Mary Poppins bags, you can fit the kitchen sink in there.

Not unless we are going to the pub. Then I have a little over the body bag. I have a laptop bag for work.

If it's a day out anywhere with the kids, like a museum then I might take my rucksack. It's never got much of mine in it though!!

I have never been a baggy or a shoey person for that matter. And I am at a point in my life where me being comfortable definitely comes first!

I've got a few cross body/sling bags for nights out. I'm not a clutch bag fan because I don't want to hold it all night.

Day time I generally have a tan tote or cross body. Or for days out where I need more stuff I've got a smallish leather backpack. I prefer neutral bags that go with everything.

I don't really buy any coloured bags except a couple I've bought to match wedding outfits.

If someone asked me what I wanted I would have a dr marten cross body bag I think

I can't imagine going out without a handbag. I drive almost everywhere so don't usually need a heavy coat, and I need a bag for my purse, makeup bag, hairbrush, phone, car keys, house keys, pencil case, and all the other little things that I tend to carry round with me. I've always used a nice large bag as I couldn't fit the things I need into a small one.

Oh this looks really handy!

My (reasonably smallish) bag contains;

Phone
Purse for coins
Lipstick
Hairbrush
Small pack of tissues
Pen
Notepad
Paracetamol
Moisturiser with SPF

Occasionally my kindle, gloves and various baby paraphalia go in there too. I can't imagine not having a bag!

Yes. Mostly cross body, phone, keys. Glasses, random shit that accumulates.

Unless I’m just walking the dog, I take my handbag everywhere

@K0OLA1D wow the Doc mini bags are really cute.....

I have a dr martens back pack (smaller one) and dr martens side bag which I alternate. & for Christmas DH got me a bag just big enough for my phone & 2 cards which I use if I don't want to have a bigger bag 😂

Pencil case - LOL! I thought that I carried a lot around with me 😂

I do have a massive work bag on wheels for a laptop. Which I also carry bits and bobs in. I started to think about getting a hand bag sorted again when I bought some nail files. Organised people have bags with tissues and nail files! I wasn't very good when I had small children either. Used to stuff a spare nappy in my pocket!

I will sometimes do the school run with keys/phone in my pocket but it's just at the end of the road. Can't imagine going anywhere longer than that without a bag - keys, purse (in case Apple Pay has a meltdown), book, headphones, 18 random lipglosses that are at the bottom of my bag, an old snack bar from when DS was a toddler etc etc.
