I am going to be on the lookout for a silk clutch for special occasions as it will be much more practical.</p> <p>I saw those purse hooks recently, of course I can't remember where now. I'm going to have to pick one up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silk-handbag-just-a-terrible-idea-practically-speaking#post-56940 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 11:09:44 +0000 yublocka 56940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got one of those foldy things for Christmas. I just need to remember to take it with me when I go out!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silk-handbag-just-a-terrible-idea-practically-speaking#post-56818 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 21:40:09 +0000 Louise 56818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found these handbag hooks recently</p> <p><a href="http://www.purseangels.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.purseangels.co.uk/</a></p> <p>I haven't purcased one yet but my mum has one and swears by it for keeping her bag off the floor and clean. It also keeps your bag close by so no one can pinch it x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silk-handbag-just-a-terrible-idea-practically-speaking#post-56797 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 20:23:05 +0000 shiny 56797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a silk bag too but it's small enough to put it on my lap when we're out and about. If it were me, I'd skip this bag, because no matter how ultra-careful I am, my bigger bags inevitably wind up on the floor sometimes. It seems it just can't be helped. When I first bought my cream bag, I was sooo careful for months, but yes, even that bag has been on the floor a few times! But it is leather, so it cleans up beautifully. </p> <p>That's the other thing about bags. They've done tests to show that the bottom of your bag is covered in bacteria and germs and such. They recommend never, EVER leave your bag on the kitchen counter, and also not on a table at the restaurant either. Since learning this, I can't help but be grossed out when women leave their bags on the table or bar top, or come into my house and plop their bags on my kitchen counter or dining room table. Yuck! </p> <p>Please hold your purse in your lap, or yes, put it on the floor, or the back of the chair (but don't leave it on the back of a chair if you are dining outside - we've had numerous thefts on newbury street where theives have simply grabbed the bags and ran). </p> <p>I like bags that have tiny little feet for this reason, and also bags that can be wiped down with soap and water or sanitizer. You are supposed to wipe down your bag once a week. </p> <p>Sorry to rain on your silk purse parade! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silk-handbag-just-a-terrible-idea-practically-speaking#post-56789 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 19:45:29 +0000 danielleCT 56789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the tip about the protector spray! At 20" wide, I find it a little large for an occasion bag, which is why it would need to be more of a weekend date night type of thing for me. I still have some thinking to do about this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silk-handbag-just-a-terrible-idea-practically-speaking#post-56784 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 19:35:01 +0000 Lee Hovey 56784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG I have been in love with this bag since I saw it on their site. I agree with LouLou, if I could afford it I would get it and spray it with protector spray all the time. I would also only use it for special occassions like a summer garden wedding, or parties, things like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silk-handbag-just-a-terrible-idea-practically-speaking#post-56783 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 19:34:37 +0000 Inge 56783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no idea how practical a silk bag will be, but it's so fun and cheerful;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silk-handbag-just-a-terrible-idea-practically-speaking#post-56781 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 19:20:57 +0000 Louise 56781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is gorgeous!<br /> I've a denim bag with a silk panel in it. Everytime i use it i spray it with shoe waterproofing protector spray. It's still clean after 2 years however i only use it for 'best' x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silk-handbag-just-a-terrible-idea-practically-speaking#post-56736 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:34:06 +0000 Ellen 56736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a silk hangbag rather similar to that one and I love it because it easily adds colour, texture, and whimsy to outfits - perfect for summertime! I haven't had a dirt problem, though the colouring of mine is a bit darker than that one.</p> <p>However, mine was from Old Navy, as a gift from my sister. I have never expected it to last as long as a leather bag and so personally, I would try to find a cheaper version to play with this style. Then if it gets ruined you can toss it with less heartbreak and spend the big money on something that will last longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silk-handbag-just-a-terrible-idea-practically-speaking#post-56731 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:12:21 +0000 merry77 56731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure it's highly impractical, but oh my goodness! That is so stinkin' cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silk-handbag-just-a-terrible-idea-practically-speaking#post-56730 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 13:55:00 +0000 danielleCT 56730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe I just need some sensible people to talk me out of this bag because it's not practical. Secretly, I want you guys to tell me that it's possible to somehow keep this silk clean. I LOVE it. Is there a secret silk-cleaning secret I don't know of? I'd probably want to take this bag with me on the hottest summer days, eating outside and that type of thing. Any voices of reason out there want to help me out?</p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&#038;_dynSessConf=-165893855936594380&#038;id=840382&#038;parentid=SB_BAGS_WALLETS&#038;pushId=SB_BAGS_WALLETS&#038;prepushId=SB_BAGS_WALLETS&#038;popId=SHOES_BAGS&#038;sortProperties=&#038;navCount=19&#038;navAction=poppush&#038;fromCategoryPage=true&#038;selectedProductSize=&#038;selectedProductSize1=&#038;color=grn&#038;colorName=GREEN" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....Name=GREEN</a> </p>
