In hot pursuit
I need a new formal handbag. I have one I like, but it is a cheap knock-off and I want something good quality. Here's the one I have, with a post-it pad for scale. Ideally, I'd like the original, but I don't even know what that is. [more inside]
What non-ludicrously capacious bag should I take to a work conference?
My everyday bag is the Transport Tote from Madewell, but that gets heavy and I tend to carry it in my hands more than wearing it on my shoulder. For the conference, I won't need a laptop and I'd like to keep my hands free as much as possible. I would love your recommendations! [more inside]
Help me find the goth-hy purse of my dreams!
I'm looking for a purse/handbag recommendation that's all-black or otherwise classy goth-ish, big enough to fit a hardback book in, and that will last a good long while. If this describes a purse you've loved, please tell me all about it! [more inside]
What's in your bag - at a museum?
What's in your bag at a museum, that you a) do not want cloaked
and/or b) do not want to dig out of your bag at the counter and proceed to carry around in the plastic bag they offer you?
Am trying to get our local children's natural history museum to change it's "no backpacks" policy to address the actual issue of bulk, i.e. "no bags over X size". I'd also like better options than carrying around a plastic bag. [more inside]
How do you define a purse vs a shoulder bag vs etc.
What makes a bag constitute a purse rather than a shoulder bag, messenger bag, briefcase with strap, etc.? Is it the apparent gender of the wearer, what the manufacturer labels it as, the use, the contents, or some other factor? [more inside]
Help me find a new everyday bag!

The Perfect Backpack Purse?

How to fix a purse lining
The lining of my purse has ripped, and is starting to make the purse non-functional. Every time I try to get anything out of or put anything into the purse, it gets worse, it has rendered the zippered pocket useless, and is generally annoying. Removing the lining entirely doesn't seem feasible; the interior of the purse behind the lining in this particular bag would make a very bad interior. This seems like a common thing that happens to all of my purses, and I can't figure out a good way to fix these flimsy fabrics in a way that will stay fixed. [more inside]

Help me aquire the perfect purse.
I am extremely picky about my purses. When I shop for bag first I go by appearance, quality, then strap drop. The strap drop excludes a good 95% of bags I like, but online it is the hardest thing to search by. Does there exist a site something like Zappos or Nordstrom that will let me search by strap drop? That would solve most of my problems. I have tried to google for a site like that but my Fu is failing me. [more inside]
Looking for recommendations on a functional leather crossbody bag
I like bags and purses that have organization details and pockets galore, but I am also prone to carrying unnecessary weight if the bag is too large. To spare my shoulder and back, I've been downsizing to smaller crossbody bags. I've enjoyed using Travelon purses, but the most recent one is wearing out on me and I'm looking at a future replacement. [more inside]

Yet another search for the perfect bag
I'm in the market for a new handbag, that will hopefully last me forevermore (or at least long enough to justify the monetary investment - I don't want to be buying a new handbag every year because the old one wears out). Lots of snowflakes inside. [more inside]

Bag Me Please oh wise MeFites! For I cannot bag alone!
So I need a new everyday purse and I think i'm sooo special that none of the already answered questions will do. I've spent hours and days searching and am turning to you for help.
I am looking for a small bag with a short shoulder strap that is structured enough to bring to a nice dinner but not too fancy to be dropped on the floor. obnoxious branding need not apply.

Any suggestions for a woman who wants to stop carrying a bag?
I really enjoy the freedom of movement that comes from not carrying a bag and was wondering if you had any suggestions for a) women's clothes/unisex clothes/appealing men's jackets or other clothes with deep pockets b) some other alternative? [more inside]

Help a fashion novice get a handle on her new handbag.
I recently bought a Fendi Classico No. 4 as a self-reward for an accomplishment and because it's just perfect for me. But I don't own a lot of designer items or keep up with all the trends, so I'm a little clueless as to how to treat it! A few specific questions are below, but my general question is - what should I know about owning a really nice handbag like this? [more inside]
Expensive is not my bag
How to keep leather handbag looking like new?
I need some handbag care advice for my girlfriend. She has a golden-tan leather Furla bag that is starting to get a little dried out. We're not in a big city, so going to a professional probably isn't an option. What can she do to treat the leather so it stays looking like new? Specific brand names of products we can order are preferable.
Where to find last year's Furla handbag
Help me find a great handbag for my wife! I've really taken a liking to the Furla Frida as in this Sartorialist pic (handbag on the left). I can't find it anywhere as it came out last year (except for $600 in the UK). I've done all of the top line google searches etc... Please post suggestions of places to look or for similar items if you know of any. I'm also in LA if there are appropriate brick and mortar solutions. Used is great too.
In search of the perfect little black purse
I can't believe it's so tough to find a simple black purse. I'm sick of my current bag – a thrift shop find which I've used for years – and having become acquainted with its shortcomings as well as its attributes during that time, I'm ready to invest in a new one, if y'all will help me find it!

Help mend the chink in my fashion armor!
This is my faaaavorite purse. It is made of black metal mesh, or mail, in tiles of about 1/4". I tied it to my handlebars once and I think some of the tiles were knocked off by the tire. Now a corner is bare, missing pieces. Can anyone help me find this bag or these tiles so I can carry this bag with my head held high once more? [more inside]
