The unisex purse/wallet/whatever thread!

[marieR19]

My current "purse" is a Thomas Kinkade bag-type thing that my grandparents got me a few years ago. It's big enough to hold regular-sized paperback books, and a mediuim-sized notebook, and those are essentials for me.

Besides those things, I have my wallet (with membership cards, money, id cards, health cards, etc etc), a purple dreamcatcher that's kind of a good luck charm to me, a keychain that has 8 decorative things and 1 actual key, tons of loose papers (old recipts, old notes, etc), and a necklace with the key to my safe on it.

The best silver 60s purse ever! I got it last spring and am totally enamored with it. It's silver so it goes with everything. It doesn't look huge but if you open it there are three wonderfully large pockets it put stuff in. In the first pocket I keep touch-up makeup (powder, lipstick), a comb, and my ipod. In the middle pocket (the only one with a clasp) I keep my wallet, keys, phone, change purse, my nail, and most often lots and lots of receipts. In the last pocket I keep various important papers, directions, maps, etc.

Best purse ever.

Post a pic! Post a pic!

LOL

i love vintage purses.

This thread convinces me that I'm so not a girl.

I hardly ever carry a purse. I usually just tuck my driver's license, a credit card, and my cell phone into my pants pockets. When I do carry a purse, it's usually this lovely little $10 special from Wal-Mart--black canvas/faux leather. I have a bunch of purses. I just never use the damn things.

When I do carry the said tiny Wal-Mart special, it holds my black $5 fake-croc wallet (which only has my license, spare change, and credit cards in it because I never have cash, and I don't keep pics), my cell, my checkbook, powder, and lipstick (maybe a brush if I'm going somewhere where I don't want my hair to look rumpled and tampons if it's that time of the month).

I don't even keep a huge ring of keys. I leave the key to the vehicle I'm driving in the ignition or the cupholder, or else I'll lose it. I don't lock my apartment door, so I don't keep up with it, either. I carry a Trucker's Road Atlas on the passenger's seat (and I actually know how to USE the damn thing). God, I'm such a failure as a female.

Can we talk about my cheap shoe collection to make me feel better?

 

[subkitty72]

Attache cases.

I actually do use my laptop case for this. I would dare say that I've carried it sans laptop more than con laptop. It's just an excellent way to carry the profusion of books, music, papers, folders, and some minor spare clothing* that I prefer in a carry-on.

Attache case?

Nah.

Sounds like a PURSE!

or, in your case, a MURSE.

Oh my, I might be here all night....

I love purses, especially different or unique or handmade ones. A lot of mine are actually bath and bodyworks bags, they make the best bags.

Current bag is one I sewed myself, is vintage looking corsets and a corresponding striped pattern. I grow tired of them after a few weeks and have to change, but luckily within a month or two I miss a previous one so I just keep switching them around. I'm missing my black leather one right now so I assume that will be switched to soon. LOL

Keychain with SLRN on it and keys to various journals and locked bags and whatnot
Lotion

Tampons

Have a bunch of different purses and bags in various styles, size, and colors, but I tend to always use the same one until I get tired of it and get a new one!

Right now, I'm using a red leather mid-size over the shoulder kind of purse.

In it: red leather wallet, two sets of keys, sunglasses with case, palm, pocket mirror, lipbalm and lipstick, ipod, smokes, pink zipo, matches, bandaids, book I'm currently reading, one black glove without its friend (don't ask), rolling paper, hand cream, tampons, condoms, migraine pills, pen, mints, travel size toothbrush and toothpaste, often a fruit or a granola bar.

If I'm going on campus or somewhere else to work, then I use my big pink laptop bag. To the above, add laptop, books, copies of articles and notes, paper, make-up, water bottle, coffee mug.

I just took some pictures of my purses and will post them on here in a second.

 

[intothewoods]

the male purses are called murses, right?

And yes, men carry them. At least at the airport they do. These are NOT laptop cases: They hang on the shoulder and carry other stuff, just like girl purses.

Purses are one of my passions and today, i am carrying a beauty:

inky, midnight-blue patent leather shopper by Elliot Lucca (bought for a song!).

The straps are braided leather intertwined with the loveliest, lightest weight black oiled chain.

Inside: dooney and bourke zebra wallet and matching cosmetic bag with all my girly shit in it (blush, lipgloss, perfume), cellphone, lighter, pen i lifted from a store in Kansas, and a book.

Yeah, it's kinda heavy.

dammmmn girl! I want an Elliot Lucca bag, especially for a song.

Sometimes, I have a couple of classics, different designers, incredibly well made, the majority have been 'gifts' and they don't seem to date, helps that they are indestructible . The wallet has dated though, remember when vuitton brought out the funky version with the pale pink flowers over the standard pattern, ahuh. It's the thought that counts right ?

Oh yes, I remember those! Wow, I need better friends.

Adorable!

I'm deathly afraid of carrying a bag that big, because I think I'm deathly afraid of being shlubby. You are a young and teeny thing. Me, I am aged and um, hourglassy. Ya know, ya gotta be careful with that hourglassy figure. Dress it right and it's ooh, curvy and delightful. Dress it wrong and it's like who let that old whorey bag in?

I don't know about better, guilt certainly plays a major factor. Damn shame I can't be bought, major squick in fact. Tokens in lieu of what really matters, actually quite insulting in some real ways considering the actual context.

Is it bad to admit that I can be bought, if he offers a sparkly handbag

*ashamed*

I see some stunning bags and think 'I wonder how many blow jobs would that be worth?'

I do have standards........ it has to be a really great looking, small, sparkly bag
