I'll keep #6 as well because it does have a useful purpose, but if I find a more exciting "interview bag" I'll pass this one on. I'm not really going to look for one though, it's not such a huge need right now.</p> <p>#1 and #3 are definitely outta here. </p> <p>#4 is not my style at all but it is a nice bag. Similarly, I like the idea of #5 but the practical considerations make it really useless for me. I think I am going to post these two on the style exchange board when I get home this evening, since they are both nice bags in great condition, and I think others here might like them and get a lot more use out of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-718175 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 14:50:12 +0000 Angie 718175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 and #5 best. I vote think hard about passing on the rest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-718118 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 13:28:28 +0000 Louise 718118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just from reading your write up it sounds to me like the only one you like is #2, so I vote toss the rest and perhaps keep an eye out for a new laptop/ inetrview bag x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-718108 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 13:17:22 +0000 kimlee 718108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 and #6 are my favorites. I vote to keep these in your collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-718094 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 13:02:26 +0000 Kristin L 718094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 and #6. After reading your descriptions, it sounds like you may be over #3, #4 and #5. I'd vote to donate them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-717576 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 22:10:35 +0000 Anonymous 717576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How many other bags do you own and are you happy with them? I think these all can go, with the exception of #6, just because you don't have a bag that has the same function. I don't see them jiving with your current style, at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-717207 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 16:34:27 +0000 shiny 717207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purses are so personal... I like the aesthetics of 4 and 5, but it sounds like you don't really like 4, and 5 though cute has some functional drawbacks. </p> <p>Purse 1 does look a bit dated but it's got a certain something-something. It's possible that I simply love color block so much. </p> <p>Ooh... I would tuck #3 in my car and use it for grocery shopping. Will that work? Or does it scrunch enough you could tuck it in a shopper tote when going to the mall? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-717182 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 16:14:35 +0000 Diana 717182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so far it looks like 2 and 6 are definitely keepers. Will have to try to get rid of the scuffs on #2 though. Does anyone know if I can use shoe polish on it, or will it rub off on my clothes? </p> <p>I think you are all right, and #4 is nice but not me at all. I wonder if anyone here would like it? Perhaps I will try out the Style Exchange category...</p> <p>Sounds like my hunch that #1 is dated and #3 is too young/casual were right so those are most likely gone.</p> <p>Still considering about #5. It's the handles that are the problem more than the lack of zipper. My elbows tend to hyperextend, so I really can't carry a large bag in my hand or elbow for any period of time, they have to be able to go on my shoulder. So at the moment the only application I can see for this bag is as a beach bag, and I go to the beach maybe once a year? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-717054 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 14:21:09 +0000 Carole 717054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2, 4, 5 and 6! I need to do this too, I have a few bags I'm on the fence about. Thanks for the idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-717038 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 14:03:24 +0000 kellygirl 717038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2,4,and 6. 2 just looks like you. 6 looks timeless. 4 looks rather lady like and classic and I could see it paired with red and black. I imagine it would be fun to combine with your creative style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-717012 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 13:41:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 717012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-717005 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 13:36:12 +0000 ManidipaM 717005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of #5 too. Is it not possible to add a zipper on top? Shouldn't that shape accommodate one easily?</p> <p>#2 and #6 look very versatile and classic. And it sounds like you find them functional too, so they should certainly stick around a bit.</p> <p>#3 seems fun to me, but if you don't use it, maybe you have just outgrown it? Would it be useful as storage? If not, maybe it's time to let go...</p> <p>#4 seems least in sync with your current style, though it's certainly a stylish, classic bag on its own merits.</p> <p>#1 --- I don't know if it's dated (am very bad at this!), but it looks the least exciting/useful to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-716917 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 10:31:34 +0000 Suz 716917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I LOVE the boring ones...#4 and #6 are exactly up my alley and I would adore either one of them, LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-716885 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:07:50 +0000 MsMary 716885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 2, 4 and 6. Although if you don't use #4, whether or not I like it is irrelevant! LOL No. 1 does look dated to my eye. 3 and 5 are not really speaking to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-716810 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 04:54:59 +0000 jayne 716810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 is so sleek and classic, but is it you? not very artsy.</p> <p>I thnk 3 can go it seems like a cloth bag that is for a young person</p> <p>I loved 2 best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-716788 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 04:09:15 +0000 rae 716788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, #1 looks a little dated to me. </p> <p>I think 2 and 6 look the most current/timeless. 4 doesn't really look like you. 5 looks super fun to me, but if you don't find it functional... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-716783 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 03:57:01 +0000 annagybe 716783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tooled leather one because it reminds me of the western influence in Isabel Marant's Fall 2012 show. Don't like #1. #4 doesn't look like your current style at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt-handbag-edition#post-716781 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 03:54:21 +0000 Diana 716781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My handbag storage woes and the subsequent discovery that I have far more bags than I thought prompted me to take a look at some bags that I haven't been using lately. I've had all of these for several years but have not used them in some time. As I've mentioned before though, sometimes I don't use things because I don't like them or find them hard to style, but other times I have just forgotten about them and still like them fine. I'd love your help in figuring out which ones are worth keeping. All except for #3 are real leather and good quality although some could use a little polishing.</p> <p>1: Maxx New York quad-colored leather bag. Is this style dated? I feel like it was very popular a few years ago and not so much now. </p> <p>2: Maxx New York black tooled leather bag. This has some scuffs that could use some touching up. I still like the shape and tooled leather finish though.</p> <p>3: Sacrasac (via MoMA) convertible fabric bag. The horizontal sections are connected by functional zippers and can be removed to make different size bags. I used to use this a lot back in grad school but I think it might be a bit too casual now. </p> <p>4: Kenneth Cole cognac leather structured bag. This is the only brown/cognac bag I own, but I never use it. It's a medium size and structured which feels kind of awkward to me. </p> <p>5. Ro white leather tote. The blue part is a see-through mesh. This is big but awkward because the shoulder drop is so short it can't be slung over my shoulder. Also, no top zipper. </p> <p>6. Valerie Stevens leather bag. This is BORING but I have kept it all these years because it is a good interview/presentation bag for when I need to be conservative. It fit my old 15" laptop but now I mostly carry a smaller 13" laptop so maybe I do not need such a huge interview bag any more. However, I don't really have a smaller equivalent (my pewter satchel is too small for the laptop, unfortunately). </p>
