Adriana - I knew bags were getting smaller but that is almost the size of a ring! Possibly only enough room for a credit card.
Carla - the LePliage is a most classic and versatile work bag. I love the new Coach hobo and the seatbelt bag is very cool. You have quite a variety in styles to choose from.
LaPed - what a great solution - your bag looks lightweight and useful with lots of style too.
LisaP - no wonder I always love your bags - I see them and think ooh lovely. I agree that despite the useful hands free style of a cross body bag many for me are not comfortable. For me, lightweight cross body bags are the best.
Alicewonderland and Molly Mac - good to see backpacks getting some love! I have a backpack as my hand luggage bag when travelling and love the usefulness of it. It is funny because I have never really considered buying or using one as my day to day bag, but the Rebecca Minkoff is a great example of a non-gear bag. This is food for thought!
Suz - the Rebecca Minkoff is a great bag. I have this Karen Millen leather clutch (in Finds below) that is useful to throw into a tote as it easily converts from a day to night clutch option. Having the chain detail makes it easy to hold onto when at a cocktail function. KM make this bag in lots of colours and with gold and silver hardware, they regularly go on sale too!
JAileen - the seatbelt bag is so interesting - a great colour too. Thanks for including the link because like Jenni, I have never seen these bags before.
JenniNZ - I do enjoy the quirky bags and often throw on a furry pom pom onto my other bags to give them a touch of fun. I love that you embrace quirky elements too.
RobinF - smaller bags work best for me cross body too. Totes do make very useful work bags. I now carry my lunch separately from my bag and pop it in the work fridge on my way to my office desk.
StyleDetective - I bought my mauve Kate Spade at an Australian department store David Jones in January 2018. I did look at their website (and also the US Kate Spade website) and this colour does not seem to be available. I bought it on sale at David Jones, so it was most likely to be produced in 2017 or even 2016. Hopefully they run this colour again, as the style is one that is constantly in production. I think this bag would hold all of your things and it is not too big either.
Shevia - I always admire your fab bags in your WIWs. I always carry Baggu nylon bags with me and they are so useful. Our local supermarkets no longer provide plastic bags, so these nylon bags are essential.
Taylor - I have greatly admired your beautiful bags in your WIWs! Angie and Katerina have beautiful bag collections.
Irina - I hope you find a perfect bag to meet your needs. Hopefully forum members can make a good suggestion.
