I haven’t used a handbag in years, mainly because I lust after certain designer bags for ages, then consider it for so long, that I’m sick of them without even having bought the damn things. Now bought one on impulse just last week. Second hand, so not outrageous, but still expensive enough that I would never divulge how much I paid for it to anyone but people who would do the same, and so know how much it costs anyway. It hasn’t arrived yet, so can’t say if I’ll ultimately feel like a fool for having bought it. I say, just once, why not? If only to have learned your lesson once and for all! Let us know how you get on with it?

I’m trying to get to the point that I don’t need a handbag at all, but I do quite like my Coach bags from the early 80s. I think the best part is they were mostly trash day finds in the suburbs by my stepfather (who is extremely anti-fashion, anti-waste and yet has a surprisingly good eye for quality designer pieces).

It girl. Although I think she is a sufferable one.

I just about have a heart attack when it rains, and I am out with a good purse! Mine are the “medium high end” level-like Mulberry etc. Still, they are expensive for me. I would die if they were runied by weather.
I dont know if purses are still a thing, but they are with me. Although I tend to get secondhand ones now.
Birkin is the dumbest ever.

I know you and your readers are breathless with anticipation waiting for my response to raincoat covers for handbags but, alas, darlings, I have been on the French Riviera, staying at Cannes, for the last two weeks – well, George and his new wife (my dear, simply too, too thin!) were nervous about visiting the Film Festival and needed my moral support. Anyway, whilst there naturally I cruised the Croissette to check out the latest offerings. Unfortunately, I was walking on the beach side in order to inspect the topless totties whilst the ‘Memsahib’, frowning for some reason (‘wadidido’?), was on the shop side inspecting the latest offerings from the French fashion houses. Thus, alas, I am not in a position to tell you much except that somehow, in some way, tits are not what they used to be? Well, either that or my memory isn’t what it used to be, either!

Where was I . . . ?

Oh yes, rain-cloaks for handbags! Well, the answer is perfectly obvious, you should remove it from your handbag and pull it over your head! That way everyone, er, well, except elderly, grumpy, old, Brit gents like me, will admire your eye-wateringly expensive handbag but you will be disguised from the sneers of passers-by who will think what a plonker you are for spending all that money on a bit of dead animal skin when you could quite easily carry all you daily needs in a Walmart plastic bag!

Please feel free to consult me on any other fashion difficulties you might come across – er, sorry, didn’t quite catch that . . .

TinLizzie – I like hearing about your evolution. Maybe it’s just changing priorities? I actually offered my Chanel bag to my new daughter-in-law, who said she is fine with carrying a backpack instead! What a great girl.

Madame Fifi – Well, you have a good attitude. And if you like to carry a
designer bag among people who wouldn’t even notice it, you can’t be faulted!

Winter Bird – What, that it’s mauve or that it clashes? Re Birkin: Ditto.

Ali – EEoow, who the hell is she supposed to be? An It Girl?

rosie – If only I could see handbags as strictly utilitarian. I am too conflicted.

and I don’t know what Ali is talking about. I followed the link, but I couldn’t see the handbag raincoat anywhere on that girls instagram account.

I don’t really understand the whole handbag thing. Useful for carrying useful stuff around, needs to look good and be comfortable and have the right internal pockets to put your phone in and so you don’t lose your car keys 50 times a day. I have nothing more to say on the subject.

I think it is the type of thing that she and her “Art Friends” would buy as a joke – or for an instagram “jokey” photoshoot.
