If I had a car I probably wouldn't, but since when I go out I usually do a bunch of different things and stay out all day I end up with extra stuff to cart home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bag-ladies-and-gents#post-789070 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 17:48:21 +0000 Diana 789070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is funny because I'm actually carrying a second bag today (a cream canvas tote) because I needed to bring some extra stuff with me today. This is very rare for me though - usually I have one BIG bag stuffed full with my lunch, personal electronics, knitwear, etc. I don't like to carry a second bag because I'm always afraid I'll lose it or hit people with it (I'm pretty sure I whacked some people with my tote bag today, for example). </p> <p>Zap, I love my Le Pliage! It's really useful when I need to carry a lot of stuff, and I've even used it as an overnight bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bag-ladies-and-gents#post-789009 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 16:32:52 +0000 Jules 789009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pliage looks great, stylish AND practical, great souvenir piece with the Eiffel Tower! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bag-ladies-and-gents#post-789002 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 16:24:32 +0000 Anonymous 789002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, a second bag is pretty common in NYC. My only "serious" purchase from Paris was a Longchamp pliage bag with the Eiffel tower printed on it. So far, I have carried it everyday since my return. The thing is brilliant, I fold it away and pack it in my purse, when not in use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bag-ladies-and-gents#post-788998 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 16:19:50 +0000 Jules 788998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I carry an enviro bag in my purse too and end up using it most days for lunch &amp; purchases. I try to have patterned ones in seasonal colours so it looks ok with my outfit. Actually I usually get them free and given how much use they get, even if I paid for them CPW would be very low... I should get a few more! Currently I have a teal one with subtle logo for the local BIA that I got at a parade.<br /> Carrying two leather bags looks too heavy to me, both literally and visually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bag-ladies-and-gents#post-788986 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 15:52:57 +0000 Astrid 788986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great link, thanks! I sometimes carry two bags too, but not regularly. When it happens I use a fabric bag that I had in reserve in the other bag, the look of carrying two normal handbags looks strange to me. Of these pictures I like the looks best where the two normal bags don't look too similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bag-ladies-and-gents#post-788981 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 15:44:50 +0000 Suz 788981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed that, Scarlet - thank you! Loved the street style and made me think about this. Sometimes I am a two bag lady when I travel.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bag-ladies-and-gents#post-788896 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 14:08:00 +0000 MNsara 788896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun to see! Not just the second bags, the whole street style thing is fun too They are (overall) much more put together than I would see in downtown Minneapolis!</p> <p>I like that they added their occupation because it's surprisingly consistent with their style vibe. . .</p> <p>Thanks, Scarlet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bag-ladies-and-gents#post-788863 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 12:31:41 +0000 Scarlet 788863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought this slide show was fun, but I missed the link love thread this week. I actually used to be a three bag lady (purse, laptop, lunch). Now I don't need to carry a laptop. I thought it was interesting that several of the people mentioned carrying a second bag because they didn't want to ruin their designer bag with weight or liquid.</p> <p><a href="http://nymag.com/thecut/2012/12/women-and-their-ubiquitous-second-bags.html?test=true" rel="nofollow">http://nymag.com/thecut/2012/1.....?test=true</a> </p>
