Handbags

[kindred cats]

I have nothing good to say about it other than it is lightweight.  And that's not saying much.

I use bags like this frequently around the farm to carry my cell, masks, ear protection and my hand gun.  This stays on and is secure and accessible.  I have different materials and sizes and a very nice leather style (a bit different than this one) that I wear walking and sometimes shopping.  I do not like crossbody bags as they get in my way and flop around.  

I do occassionally wear these across my chest (I am a 36 DD and old).   Don't really mind what others think, I like these and use them.  Have had bags like this since the 90's and don't plan to stop now.

I guess I am in the minority but I like a "fanny pack". I agree, I don't like the cross body version. But, the bag is actually too big for me. I walk for about 2 hours at a time and like to carry my phone and  keys and some cash, this one is just too large for that. 

I'm still on the lookout for the perfect size "fanny pack" but this will be a pass due to size. Well, the price was a little too high as well.

@cjm61 When you walk (I'm assuming it's for excerise) do you like to bring a bottle of water with you?  I do and I have been carrying a Lug Insulated bottle holder F39172

It has small double front pockets for holding your phone (away from the bottle), keys and maybe a few tissues.

I would never use this bag. I do wear crossbody bags, but nothing like this one. It's a no go.

Nope, not for me.

@haddon9 Haha, no, I don't carry a water bottle. My husband can't understand how I can go that long without water. He always has a big water container with him. He calls me a camel. Oh and yes, I walk for the exercise.

My daughter is a New York City gal and this is how they do it. She has worn these like this for years so I don't think it's just a trend. Safe, secure, and hands free. I think it looks pretty hip and have a couple myself for running errands.

Once again, not everything is for everyone...nor should it be. For many this is a welcome alternative to the plethora of large hobos and tote bags featured.

@SharkE I prefer to invest in bags that will go the distance.    This particular "special" seems to me to be a passing fad.    NO NO for me!

Yeah, I got a Nash bag that I got on my mind that I'm waiting for it to come down some more. Those tiny bags are good I guess for some. I'm a classy packrat

I have two of these style bags and love them. I don't like tote or big bags. I mostly wear crossbody handbags.
