I have never been friends with "the purse." Give me a bag any day, but please, not a purse. Bags are useful and sturdy. Solid, and slung over a shoulder. Bags are Style. I could find use for a thousand bags, but not a purse. Never a purse. Why? Are purses and bags so different? Just ask Mary Poppins. No, I've never even owned a purse- except maybe during middle school. But everybody's been to middle school, so who can judge?Yes, bags are for me. They call to me and I hearken. Backpacks, diapers bags, bags slung cross-wise over my shoulder. Can I hold it without it holding me? That's the measure of a bag's creation. Give me a good, rich bag any day. Just don't call it a purse.
His, hers, and the one in between- a birthday present from a friend- made from a sweater.
