Everyday Carry (EDC) bag

What is your everyday carry? I am considering a Clare V Petit Moyen but wonder if it is too delicate for daily wear.

Cool bag! I had a woven bag once that wore like iron if you are wondering how woven holds up in general. My most worn bag is an olive metallic leather smallish bag with multiple zips. I wear It cross body. It is not the thickest leather but it is lasting.

I know this bag! Super cute. Not too delicate.

I have 25 bags that I lovingly rotate daily.

I use a small non-leather cross body daily. No Find or screenshot sorry but here it is in a recent pic. I have only one other usual handbag I only wear occasionally with red outfits, it’s leather and was a gift from my mother about 30 years ago. I have various other totes, clutches etc.

I have many bags and rotate them - the two that I use the most are in Finds below. I like my bags to be able to hold my phone, keys, wallet, make up pouch and tissues with a bit of room for any other additional items.

Super cute photo Jenni!

I rotate bags too — I find it takes me only seconds to move my stuff from one bag to another, and I like choosing a bag that most suits my day’s activities and my outfit. Here are my most-used ones currently.

That Clare V is so appealing! I have been eyeing woven bags. If the hardware were silver, I’d be all over it.

I love (looking at, lol) Clare V bags. If they were actually in my price range, I'd be all over them. They get great reviews from many different sources. I really like the shape of this one for everyday .

Gorgeous Bag. I am not on Team Bag. My bags are usually crossbody, not leather, and inexpensive.
I don't change my bag for my outfit. I choose them for practical reasons.
Lately, I have been using one from Lululemon which seems to receive many compliments.

I have lots of bags, mostly vintage Coach, and rotate through them, but keep coming back to this greyish blue Timbuk2 messenger a lot. It’s lightweight, crossbody, a nice size, and kind of bulletproof.

as my mom would say, trying is free. i'd order it and see if it fits what you need and if its comfortable to carry. (added finds for the bag linked above)
more and more, i'm personally opting for small lightweight bags. really if i could open my front door and start my car with my phone, i'd ditch a bag all together and just carry my phone

I also have the bag Style Fan posted . I love the size and weight ( light ) but it’s more a winter bag for me so will be popped into storage soon . Lululemon has some great bags !

I like that bag! I don't own one, but find the size a good one, depending on the kind of day. I have a Coach bag that is not dissimilar in size/ shape and function (can be worn on shoulder or crossbody).

But I switch my bags out, too, depending on what I need to carry, where I am going, what else I am wearing.

I have the larger Moyen, use it as an everyday bag, and it looks as new as the day I got it four years ago. And I don't baby my bags at all. The Clare V bags hold up beautifully. It's a great investment piece. You can sometimes find excellent quality ones on Poshmark or the Real Real (or the Clare V resale tab on their site, although the prices are usually higher there).

Really lovely bag. I buy the best EDC stuff I can afford, as it can be a daily pleasure.

I rotate through a few bags, but have been using the three below the most. The Uniqlo gets the most wear, worn cross body/sling style most of the time, and popped into the LePliage when I need a bigger bag.

I have the Uniqlo bag that Carla posted. Mine is orange corduroy. Lisa mentioned that the Lululemon bag is more of a cooler-weather bag. I have considered getting the same one in a lighter colour.
I actually have that Lululemon bag in three sizes. I liked it that much.

I rotate bags depending on the outfit but my most used for spring and summer casual outfits on weekends is a Tumi nylon crossbody. I like this bag so much I own it in three colors,

I have many bags but tend to default to a slouchy crossbody on most days. The Clare V looks great!

I debated (briefly) a Clare V bag but ultimately went with a Quince dupe. I needed an inside zippered pocket and surprisingly the Clare V didn’t have one.

I’ve really pared down my bag collection. I gravitate to cross-body bags and anything lightweight these days. I use an MZ Wallace sling and a Tumi crossbody the most.

Anglie, tried the Clare V bag today and it seems very sturdy. Aqua is right - there is no inside zippered pocket. They have a pine green/brown option which is very tempting and I may still go back for it.

Suz, that Coach bag is stunning. I went looking for it and it’s nowhere to be found new.

LJP, Stylefan, Jenni, Lisa, Carla - I like a nylon bag and perhaps should look at one for summer because I always manage to get sunscreen stains on leather goods. I have a Tumi laptop tote that looks brand new after 10 years, so I may get it a little crossbody cousin

Janet and Bijou- I saw the Bao Bao at Nordstrom today but I can’t be trusted with a non-zippered bag. Janet, I hear high praise about Songmont on Reddit all the time. That bowler/baguette bag is a great shape. Baggu has a similarly-shaped one that I may try.
