I had my first handbag at 26yrs old because of peer pressure (I was told off, judged and laughed at for not having one). I felt awkward carrying it.

I still feel weird carrying one, but I do like the look of some of them and collect vegan handbags.

I had my first handbag at around 40 years old on a long trip around France because I always seemed to have a lot of stuff to carry around (passport, wallet, change purse, phone, camera, novel, keys, cheque book, gloves, tissues, a brick and a kitchen sink. Mrs Radish always complained of the extra weight in her bag carrying my stuff around too. I felt a little awkward carrying it, but have never cared about peer pressure of fashion.

Back in the UK I continued to carry one. I even had men wolf whistling me! :lol: but only from moving vehicles - I'm not the least bit effeminate, 6 feet tall, built like an out house and have a somewhat rugged look. The small caudroy bag evolved into a large leather bag which I carried for many years. Lately I've started going out without a handbag but sometimes regret not carrying one if stuck in a waiting room somewhere and no novel to read. The merging of camera + phone into one item nowadays is easier too. Still struggle with a massive bunch of keys though.

I’ve had my handbag for many years. It’s nothing special but it was given to me used by someone where I used to work. They brought a big bin of used clothes to see if anyone wanted anything, and I took the purse because my other one was worn out.

When I need a nicer one or a different colour I borrow from my daughter, but I’ve only done that a handful of times over the years.

Most of the time I just use a satchel / book bag. All I need to carry is my wallet and keys. Extra glasses and sunglasses stay in my car.

Aww! And haha at being wolf whistled at. :lol:

Men look really cool with their man bags. I prefer that style. Like the BTS members, for example, they're always well dressed and have gorgeous bags

I used to carry things in my pockets, and make friends put my things in their bag. Then I moved onto shopper shopping bags. I like clutches, so carried one of them around for years. Couldn't fit much in that!

It's funny because I'm into dressing up and look put together, yet wouldn't carry a handbag.

Satchels are nice. I have plenty of bags if you want some!

I have a man bag. I like the cross-shoulder bags for men.

One of my all-time favorite Stephen King horror movies is Carrie.

I enjoyed watching the two-part adaptation of Stephen King's novel It.

I also have problems with writing messages in the Internet. I have problems with concentration and motivation :(

I'm learning how to loom knit coffee sleeves. After making all those ear warmers, hats and neck cowls I needed a challenge.

I'm trying to be as relevant in my present as possible.
It's not enough for me to be present at the moment.
