Searching for b5media’s Handbag-aholic!

by Bridget Wright on June 30th, 2008

Bag, Borrow or Steal hosted this incredible handbag contest at the end of last year, and I thought it would be a cute idea to try it here on this blog. Or at least a version of it.

Are you a handbag-aholic? What makes you love your handbag soooo much? Tell us in 50 words or less why you think you are a handbag-aholic. Send me your answers by July 31 and we’ll all share in the fun. The most creative answer will win a $10 gift certificate to Amazon.com, so, bag away!

(Leave your answer in the comments section below. Good luck!)

    I have a bag problem because it’s the way to express myself in the easiest way. Plus, it functionally carries everything else that expresses me!

    I have always enjoyed having a purse wardrobe. Wearing an appropriate handback is the icing on the cake. I like a well-groomed polished look to my appearance. The proper purse for the occassion is a way to express your confidence in yourself to others.

    I just can’t walk out the door without my bag! I’ve tried, my mom has tried to make me, I just can’t do it.

    In 50 words or less,
    a woman is not complete without her handbag.
    A woman is defined by her handbag.
    An outfit can be transformed by a simple handbag.
    All women all over the world love handbags–a handbag does not discriminate.
    Resistance is futile–I will happily succumb!!!

    I am not a size 2 or even a size 10. I’m a plus size girl and you know what…. It’s really tough trying to find cute stylish clothes I can wear. But have no fear plus size girls….. A GREAT BAG ALWAYS FITS!!!! That is why I’m a bag-aholic!

    I know one thing for sure is that I can’t live without my handbag!! It’s my world and it carries all my precious possessions!!! Plus, my look would never be complete without a bag!! I can forgo lunch just to save up to buy a new handbag :)

    I’m a handbag-aholic because I own over 40 of them. When it comes to clothes I bargain shop but for handbags they could be really expensive or yard sale items. Love them all ♥

    I notice I buy more handbags than I buy clothes. I splurge on bags the most because they carry all my valuable possessions and I carry my bag with me wherever I go. Pretty much everything I am is in that bag - my wallet, IDs, accessories. They say clothes make the man. Well, my bags make me the woman I am.

    I can’t leave home without my purse because it contains all the things a mom might need in any situation. My sons are teens now but still expect me to have candy, chapstick, & most importantly, MONEY! I only own four but they all contain the same life-savers inside!

    Handbags have never been my forte. But, the more I accumulate credit cards, a checking book, hair accessories, make up, and other misc. items, the more I realize that it would be best to carry these in style! Besides being EXTREMELY picky when it comes to design (colors, prints, styles) when I do find a bag I end up holding on to it for a year because it’s easier to do then finding a new bag that will fit my indecisive personality.

    This gift would be AMAZING because my current purse I don’t even like! I just know I don’t have the money or inspiration to find a new bag, but I think this could be changed easily now… ;)

    Goodluck to ALL!

    By the way the first paragraph is my entry. :o) and I know I went over (sorry) but I couldn’t resist — what can I say? I’m in need of fashion police intervention!

    I’m in school and don’t have a lot of money. A designer bag would really help because it would last longer than all my cheapie bags that get messed up by my wheelchair wheels. Plus it would be so nice to have one of my favorite things (a purse) of actual quality

    I’m a woman that loves all things fashion, especially handbags. I buy all the fashion magazines and dream about the bags I’d like to carry! Unfortunately, I’m a single divorcee trying to work and attend college ! I have barely enough to survive much less buy beautiful purses I long for!

    I’ve got a lot of necessities to get my through my day. A fantastic handbag is the perfect way to tote along those necessities. Why shouldn’t a necessity look great too?

    I am a handbag-aholic because anytime i have extra spending money i buy an expensive well crafted luxury bag. My Coach bags is the perfect color, style and shape. I am everything that defines what a handbag-aholic should be.
