    ONE handbag and PROUD of it!

    Ok, so for those of us who are completely out of depth in the how-many-handbags-have-you-got thread:

    Here's a thread for those of us who have only ONE handbag. (+/- an evening purse for special occasions, which doesn't count).

    I have ONE handbag, it's an auberginey purple leather one, with a wide textured crinkly strap. It sits perfectly on my shoulder and I *love* it.

    I have one handbag too! (I have a sachel for the beach, summer etc, but I don't count it). It's a red leather JAG, short thick straps. It has a pocket for my phone and lip balm, a big divider pocket in the middle where I keep hair ties, pads etc. On one side I keep my wallet, keys, glasses case etc, and the other my course books and little pencil case. I love it!

    I also only have one!! (except the two nice going out ones)
    It's black, only cost me $25 and lasted me almost a year so far. And it's preeetyyy (at least I think so). I always just use ONE, but I must absolutely love it. It takes me ages finding "the one". Then I use it everyday until it's worn out and I get a new black one. I always use black as 1) it's my favourite colour and 2) it goes with all my clothes. I do buy a different style every time I replace the old one. Depending on what I like that time around. It's all I need really. And you don't have to move everything into another bag.

    Go the ONE bag!!

    I don't own one. I own a bag, which is my handbag if I need it to be (cram all my work stuff in there). All I take when I go the the shops is my wallet in my back pocket and sometimes my phone in my front pocket. It's an Indian-style black shoulder bag.

    Oh... exclusive... I guess I can't join?

    i only have one - it's big enough for wallet and phone and not much else. has a long strap so i can throw it across my shoulder/chest and not know it's there most of the time. i'm just not girly girly enough for anything more than that

    I only have 1 handbag too. Mine's black with a black, white and silver plaited strap and is lined with pink. I wore my old one out and still have that hanging on the hall stand but I never use it anymore.

    I love my 'only' handbag, it goes with everything and holds all my crap. I do have an evening/going out bag but never use it because I lurve my handbag lol.

    I only have one that's in use as well. The rest are those 'evening bags (all three of them) and they are in the dressup drawer anyway

    Mine's black and gunmetal metallic, cheapo no brand type one.
    Like Leasha I'm a wallet and keys girl these days so it lives on the back of my bedroom door.

    I have one. It's a black fake-leather back pack style. It has pockets on the front for various bits and bobs and about enough room for my wallet, my diary and a water bottle and that's it.

    It replaced my brown (real) leather tardis-like back pack when it died.

    I still call it a handbag even though it's a back pack. Shoulder bags ALWAYS fall off my shoulders and this way I still have my hands free.

    I still use it at times, although I mostly chuck my wallet in the nappy bag now.
