iām not really an Accessories person and donāt Shop often but i heard good things about this and needed a bag that zippered. i got it earlier this month and do i feel like this was really worth the price - i think i might like it more than tote bagsā¦! i feel like so many things are made poorly nowadays but it genuinely feels sturdy (which is also how i have felt about bagguās reusable grocery bags). it is so spacious but still barely weighs anything and isnāt bulky

Saw this question pop up in the morning and have spent the rest of the day thinking about bags. Turns out Iām harboring a lot of opinions on them. Like flora I agree that you need one in each size (s/m/l). Additionally as a person who treats my clothes and accessories like trash itās imperative I have a bag that isnāt precious but looks chic. Which is why I always go with a medium sized leather bucket bag in a fun or neutral color. I go through one every 5 years. In college I had my momās 70s Dooney and Bourke, when I moved to New York I treated myself to a Creatures of Comfort (RIP) and recently I scored an OAD bag (also maybe RIP?) off The Real Real. Bucket bags fit everything, but donāt look like youāre schlepping your whole life in there. I also like going bagless and using just a Petit Pli mini pocket that I wear around my neck. Thereās enough room to tuck a card and a key in too. On the XL size I love my Baggu cloud bag. Itās the absolute goat for travel because it also is collapsable!

sooo many pockets on their crossbody crescentā¦ definitely more on the casual side though!!! but infinitely more functional than the baggu (even though i love themā¦ not enough organization for meā¦)

i love my Want Les Essentiels tote bag, it's casual yet classy and very sturdy. it's in between a regular tote and a purse. i've had it for 13 years and it's still in very good condition. they don't sell the model i have anymore though :(
i also use this random huge uniqlo u messenger bag (with just a zipper, no flap) whenever i want to be prepared and able to put anything (cardigan, books, table top games, ...) in my bag. i think big messenger bags are pretty stylish and trendy, it's not a purse but still maybe worth looking into,
and i like Susan Bijl bags.... (the new shopping bag) (slightly elevated tote bag) (gen x / millenial aesthetics but im old so)

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and itās actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic youāre passionate about

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining peopleās attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (āunaliveā), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, āalpha maleā podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche thingsā¦ the list goes on
