What kind of handbag do you have..

I have to say i tend to always go back to the surf type ones as i think although they are not particularly moneysaving they are very cheap for the time they last..i am buying one for £20:

and the matching wallet is £10 so £30 and will last me i guess at least a year if not more if i didn't get bored!
I have leather type ones for going out but day to day i use the hardwearing ones!

So what bag.. and are you one for the matching wallet?!

    I have lost count, I have one for at least every day of the month. My grandma is always buying bags for me :D I am lucky enough to have 2 Radley bags and matching purses aswell from my 21st :D

    well...my OH would say "too many!"

    I don't really have that many now, I got rid of a lot. I tend to have a few cheapy ones in case the weather isn't great and I don't want to ruin a good one.  That said, I have 3 more expensive ones that I got as gifts that I love and use often. They're usually over-sized "suitcases" as my OH says, leather and more expensive than I could ever afford to pay myself. I suppose that's why I like them so much! The one I currently have all my junk in just now is a replica of this http://z.hubpages.com/u/286063_f260.jpg only it's in black with deep purple belts that my mum picked up for me in Egypt.

    and no, I'm too lazy to get the matching wallet - far too much stuff in my purse to change everything over!

    At the moment i'm using one from the Cancer Research Shop. It's pink and cost £14.99. I told my mum I liked it and she bought it for me!

    I really like it. It's got handy pockets and it stands upright when I put it down. After getting it I saw it in this months Good Housekeeping magazine. :)

    Mine's just from Next. It was about £13 but I really like it.

    With me, as far as bags go, the smaller the better as I just tend to cram loads of stuff in them.

    I never have more than one bag on the go at a time - as I'd be transferring all the junk from one to the other endlessly.

    I've started making them after I made one to go to a wedding with. A WAG was very impressed so she ordered a few, I love making my own 'cos I can knock up whatever I want to match what ever outfit in an hour!
    I run an event management company, I put on events, I go to events, if I don't know anything about events - its not worth knowing!

    My DP's exact words aswell. Infact he threatens to buy a new car if I so much as mention new bag or shoes :rotfl:
