What is the best handbag?

Answer 1

The best handbag (for you) depends on your needs.

If you carry around a lot of things you need all the time, you need a large handbag.

If you only need to carry some plastic cards - such as ID and credit cards - and a couple of tissues, but still want the extra space a bag gives you, as opposed to just a wallet - you need a small bag.

Test your storage needs by tipping out what's in your current favorite bag and estimating how much of your bag's contents will fit into the bag you're considering buying, as well as how easy it'll be to find things in a hurry.

Check also for partitions, pockets, and so on, for extra storage usefulness.

If you prefer not to carry the bag in one hand, you need a handbag with a shoulder-strap as well as a carry-handle or strap.

Once you've decided the very best style of handbag for you, you need to decide which color and fabric will suit you: what will go with the kind of clothes you mostly wear.

Finally, you need to look at the price you're willing to pay, and whether it matters to you whether other people will think the handbag you buy is a good handbag, in the sense of, is it fashionable? Will other people like it, or think it looks cheap, or not in fashion?

This last test will determine how much you pay for your perfect bag.

One tip: if you find the perfect handbag for you but it isn't very expensive, or trendy, try to buy one with no brand name or logo on it.

This way people who think it matters to them what sort of handbag you buy won't be able to tell immediately that they don't envy or approve your choice.
