CHANGE OUT BAGS REGULARLY?

Shanus · ‎05-17-2010

I have one great bag that I purchased my last trip to NM in Washington. It's a black MZ Wallace, small crossbody that came with a web crossbody strap, a leather strap (shoulder strap, but long enough to be crossbody on me, too) and a chain strap to be a bit dressier.

It's my every day bag and loved the size, etc. so much that I purchased a second one as a backup. There are zippers on the outside and inside with wonderful organization.

It's quilted and a bit more sturdy thatn the same size nylon bag I was using. I haven't felt the need to change it out.

BTW, I no longer use my heavier leather D&B bags and sold most of my large LV bags except one large one for travel.

Do you change your bags for various outfits, etc.?

No. I have a few, lightweight crossbody bags, each of which I'll use for several months then switch. I do not coordinate them with what I'm wearing--LOL!!

I barely change my outfits let alone my bag. My outfits consist of tees, shorts, jeans in the winter and sneakers. I change my bag when I get tired of carrying it and want something different. Right now I'm carrying a Brighton organizer bag. No wallet needed, small and lightweight. I have way to many bags and need to donate bunches.

No. I have a Vera Bradley bag that I love and I carry that 80% of the time. It's a solid color. I might change during the summer but it's for another VB with a pattern.

@Shanus - I wouldn't say that I change out my bags regularly, but if I am going to a special event, I will definitely switch out from my usual larger sized bag to a medium or small bag that better suits my outfit and level of dressiness. I usually dress casually and wear a Coach regular-sized Rogue, as that bag is the perfect size for me, it stands up on its metal feet, and its internal organization is exactly what I need. I recently purchased one in black, but I have yet to switch out to it, as I am wearing a Rogue in a pink/lavendar shade with dark nickel hardware, which surprisingly, goes with almost everything I am wearing from day-to-day.

That said, I am going to switch out, first, to my new PN bag from QVC-- the black Augusta satchel-- today, just for fun, because it is a different style than my Rogues and it is black (a color I simply cannot stop wanting to wear).

I like to change out my bag regularly, but sometimes just get lazy about it. I tend to favor a medium large size bag, and I always carry too much stuff.

I have several smaller cross bodies that would be a much better choice, but I always feel "safer" with all my "stuff".☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️. I mean, what if I get stranded or something on my way to and from Walmart????🤣🤣🤣

I prefer a nice real leather bag but have several straw bags that I love and several vegan leather ones too. I have one LV bag I bought in the Chicago Water Tower mall about 25 years ago. I love it but there are SO many faux LVs in my area, I rarely carry it. I really should get it out and enjoy it.

I recently bought this small wicker crossbody/clutch at Kohls. I thought it was so cute!

No. When I worked, I changed bags. Now, I have three bags-- all crossbody. Two are the same style but different prints. (They are Lug bags.) I have macular degeneration, so having the same style, I know where items are in both of my usually used two bags.

No...and that's why I gave away most of my expensive bags, figured someone might as well get some use out of them!

Once I discovered the Lug Ranger 2 Medium Crossbody, I never looked back. Bought one in Sand Taupe (spring/summer) and one in Black (fall/winter). It has a built in wallet, a perfectly placed cell phone pocket, and tons of other organization.

I did save one small Dooney and one small MK bag, just in case I ever really need a somewhat dressy bag, but in 2 years they haven't come out of the closet!

I too stopped carrying D&B Bags a few years ago, they are too heavy for me but I loved the look, quality and functionality of them. I now carry mostly Brighton bags, they are very pricey but I love the quality of the bags.

The days of changing bags daily with the outfit/shoes retired when I began working from home. I used to keep a basket on my dressing table, I emptied my purse into it every night and then filled the one I was carrying when I got dressed the next morning. One thing for sure...I always knew what was in my purse.
