I've been wanting to get a new purse but I'm not sure what kind to get. Those Vera Bradley's are really cute. What kind of purse do you carry?

I have about 15 purses (or more I suppose if you count the little fancy ones!!)
Right now using a big fake "Louis Vuitton" white one with the pastel colors I bought in Chicago.
I have lots of other "fakes" too!! Plus real Coach purses.
I have an addiction its really bad I could have 100's.

For my daily work stuff, I carry a lavender leather Nine West totebag.

As a rule, I only carry a purse, when I have no pockets. For casual, I have a multi-pocket black canvas and a lavender multi-pocket nylon. When I'm dressed up, the purse matches my shoes.

Most of mine are Vera Bradleys. Southern gals are nuts over 'em. I've recently been DROOLING over her new fall line...I've got some bids in on ebay now for a few.
I also have this one, which makes a convenient cat carrier in a pinch as well

I don't carry a purse, I'd leave it somewhere and lose it within minutes! If it doesn't fit into my back pocket, it isn't needed!

Today I am using my Vera Bradley purse but I usually carry my Dooney & Bourke It bag (it's black with the pastel letters). I also have a Nine West tote style bag that I carry ocassionally and a few other purses I switch too from time to time. Purses are my very favorite thing to buy.

It's a
Coach for me.
I have had the same purse for 3 years, and it is still going strong..I know that's a long time to carry the same purse, but I love it..!!

I caryy a small purse, just big enough for wallet, cell phone, keys, and lipstick. I also have a slightly larger crochet bag that I made, but I like to keep it simple.

I'd love to have a Coach - shoulda picked one up on the market in Seoul

But I refuse to pay more than $50 for ANY purse (ya, I'm cheap) so most of the time I buy at TJMaxx and get those spendy designer bags on clearance. Takes a lot longer to find one I like, because I don't go for fads, but they're usually real leather and built to last.
Right now I have 2 Tignanello shoulder bags, one for winter one for summer, but I'm looking for a nice, small semi-casual bag for going out--say on a date, if I ever decide I'm brave enough to try it

right now I've been carrying a dooney & bourke, because bf got it for me for my bday, but before that I was carrying a coach for a couple years. I wear them into the ground though because they are so $$$. I am a handbag fanatic though.

I carry either a Guardian Leather holster bag, or a huge 3 zipper black leather one. I have had the first one for 17 years, and have had it refurbished once. It took 15 years of everyday use to get much wear on it. I wish I could replace it, but the company havs gone under.

Hate purses.
I use pockets, especially nice in the winter, the biker leather comes out of the closet, pockets galore!

Back in my younger days, I used to have many expensive purses in various colors to go with all my outfits. Nowdays I just carry a cheap black bag I bought at Wal-Mart, and use the same bag year around. I've had it several years and it is getting pretty banged up, so I should get a new one. But I guess I'm just too lazy to do so. What I wear is low priority these days. In fact, it is waaaaaaaaaay down the list.

I think if someone said to me lets go purse shopping I would be in the car waiting to go to the mall. No maybe I would be magically transported to the mall!!

I carry a black and silver fabric $10 one I got at Wal-mart
. I know I've had it for at least 3 years, and it's lasted very well, still looks as good as when I bought it 'smatter of fact (a first for something from Wally World.)

I'm getting tired of carrying it though and thinking of going back to a fanny-pack.
