How many do I need?

coolgran I'm the same as you. And I only really use one! It's a tote that closes with a zip, and it has inside pockets. Second favourite is my canvas cross-body messenger bag.

My children bought me a Radley bag for my 60th (which will soon be 7 years ago) and I will keep that but for the rest they come and go.

I cannot stand a heavy bag. A bag that weighs a ton before you've even put anything in it ... I just don't get that.

My 5 handbags cover all events. All of them have room for a foldy-up fabric carrier bag.

1 Kipling cross body in natural
1 Kipling Red cross body
1 brown leather backpack
1 black leather handbag, rarely used.... funerals etc.
1 navy leather shoulder bag.

When I get a new one, usually off eBay or from a charity shop, I sell an older one on eBay.

Why do they have to match your shoes or outfit?

Sorted out a cupboard today and discovered I have 18 handbags! All shapes, sizes and colours, including one I have never used (bought in Italy some years ago which I couldn't resist and haven't been able to find an outfit or pair of shoes to match!) This doesn't count shopping bags (5) cool bags (3) or beach bags (2). I tried sorting some for the charity shop but felt I couldn't let any of them go! I only regularly use 2 or 3. Now I have always had a weakness for handbags but now I think I have a "problem". Is there a Handbags Anon. organisation grin
