I love totes then chic, dressy crossbody bags. After that hobos. Surprisingly, small dressy backpacks have been creeping up the last few years. 

 

But totes are my absolute favorite. I love having two handles, the shape and how I can carry my school and work items together and still look put together. It's a workhorse and means business yet looks sophisticated. The perfect bag for a professional woman who just grabs and runs out the door.

 

This became my ode to the tote. LOL.

For everyday wear a small to med hobo.  For dressy ocasions I like a small cluch or a Chanel type shoulder bag.

My fav is the domed sachel (the LV Alma). I think dooney calls it a zip zip because of the two zippers. I bought my first LV because I love that shape. I now have it in Brahmin too. I carried hobos when I was younger.

I'm very fond of my circa 1989 'boston' bag by Gucci.

I love odd shapes, and box shapes.  I also prefer a structured bag to a limp , droopy bag.

 

i do love satchels, and wood rectangle box shapes like vintage bags.

Re: What Is Your Favorite Handbag Shape?

I absolutely adore the shopper style bags!

 

As I have gotten older I am so picky about bags.  I am not talking about expensive or designer bags either.  I couldn't care less about that.

 

I want a bag to be pretty, of course.  But now, it has to be a very light one and with handles that are not heavy and that will not cut into you.

 

I also really like a small pocket of some type on the outside to put my keys so I don't have to dig through the purse.

 

I have been searching in stores for a couple months for a new one that meets my criteria but so far no go.  I refuse to pay $100 or hundreds on a bag any more.  Just not doing it.

Short shoulder for me.  Either satchel or tote.  Double straps.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?
