call me the crazy bag lady

There’s girls out there who drool over shoes or sunglasses, but I’d take a bag over anything else ANYDAY! I usually gravitate towards large bags that I can carry my life around in. I’m not necessarily an impulsive bag shopper because I tend to shop around for awhile until I think I’ve found the perfect one. Can’t have any top flaps, must have short and long handles, must not have too many inside dividers, must have a couple inside side pockets, must be able to zip close, and must not have any gold on it. That little list right there was determined over years of choosing the wrong bag and lots of “I’ll never buy a bag that has _____ again” kind of talk.

I just bought a new DSLR camera this weekend and guess what, I betcha it will need a bag to be carried around in. (excuse to buy a new bag) This bag wouldn’t replace my current BCBG purse/bag because I’m still in love with it. I’m looking for something in addition to the daily purse. I’d love to find a bag similar to the Ecote Tooled bags in a thrift or vintage shop that would be big enough for my camera gear. I definitely need to add it to my thrift list.

Bags shown above:
1. Patricia Nash Tooled Buckle Crossbody Bag
2. Ecote Tooled Lady Bag
3. PAP Leather Tote Bag with Braided Handle
4. Ecote Crossbody Surplus Bag

What’s your favorite bag above? Think functional but also “pretty”.

  1. I like 1 and 4 the black one’s handles are too short and the other one doesn’t seem like it would be as versatile because of the colors but I really like it.

  2. Oh my gosh &^@%$#@^#4 your blog is ridiculously cool, I’m serious. Plus the fact that you’re a crazy bag lady (like me) makes you even cooler. I SO get you, I’d choose bags over anything. They’re so perfect, you don’t even have to worry about them fitting right, or thinking “do I look fat with this on?” Nope. Bags are as loyal as doggies. Love’emmm.
