6 months. How many handbags?

[Phteven]

If you were going to go away for 6 months and only had limited luggage space how many handbags would you take?

Would you believe that this question has been bugging me for days?

[thepixie]

Just one - and buy the rest in Paris!

[Phteven]

I like your thinking - I'm not sure that DH would agree.

I'd probably take....3??

One standard black number, something a little more casual and something in a print...but that's just me

[Bumperstump Cummerbund]

Are you a real handbag person? I'd probably take an everyday one and a dress up one......but all my space would be taken up with shoes, so I'm probably not the best person to ask

[Bathsheba]

I'd be taking my red Crumpler backpack, my RedCross fabric sling tote, a large neutral bag in maybe leather for day functions and outings which required a certain degree of tidiness, a small black clutch for formal night events (they tend to go with everything) and a nice medium sized bag in a lighter colour (i would take my cream and white one) if i needed to look presentable in a summer outfit. So for me about 5. the first two aren't really handbags... but this would cover all my daily needs.

I only have one

When I moved to CZ, I took one handbag and one tote. The handbag was small, a fine cord with a mauve and purple embroidered pattern (sounds icky but is really cute and gets lots of comments) The tote was just a neutral colour, good for taking away on weekends.
Served me well.

So, yeah, a handbag you can dress up or down, and a tote. Win.

I would say same as pixie!!! take 1 and buy rest in Paris or even pop to Italy for a weekend to buy some LOL

[Trillian]

OH man, you should just be like me and only have the one - and I mean only one handbag period ROFL. I have no idea what you do with so many

[Butterfly Child]

Lol i only have one too, i guess it depends how many you have.. lol

[Bathsheba]

LOL don't worry Pony, i understand you I just can't carry a black night time clutch for a day time picnic... or take a large hold-all style bag to a fancy restuarant. It's ok... maybe you can pack them all inside each other, Russian doll style.

[Winter]

I'd only take the one too and buy another there if you need it or see one that you just must have! I hate travelling heavy and after 6 months, if you haven't used those handbags that you have been lugging around, you are going to seriously resent them!! I have been known to get really annoyed at a pair of shoes that were too good to throw away, not really necessary and not worth posting home!

[Phteven]

IKWYM about heavy luggage but I can't imagine only one handbag. Maybe I could live with 2 for a while and buy more hehehe

[~clover~]

I only have one

Lol, me too & its actually a small handbag sized nappy bag!! Lol!

[*LittleMissSummer*]

I don't even know how many handbags i have There was a time i would buy a new one every week. I know that when we moved into our new house i had 2 garbage bags filled with handbags

So i would take a night hand bag and a casual one. And then buy some more

[Fleur]

I'm not a huuuge handbag person although I do have more than one - mostly hand-me-downs from mum & my sister -
I would take three. One evening clutch (if you expect to be needing one) one basic black or neutral one & one patterned or more interesting one.

Buy the rest if you need them

[Sammiejane]

I only have one

Me too!!!
well i have more, but they are ones that i no longer use!
My problem would be shoes

From the title, i was wondering if you were asking how many handbags for a 6mth old not so silly really MJ - 19mths has about 4 (more than me)!!!
