A French sociologist (who else?) had just written a book about women and their handbags.
Apparently he concludes that handbags aren't just frivolous fashion statements but a sign
of female emancipation and the bigger the bag we carry, the more emancipated we are
(presumably that's so long as it's not a changing bag!).
So what does my bag say about me? Don't be deceived by the designer logo - this was
a TK Maxx purchase - and the bag ticked all the boxes as it was stylish and big enough
to hold all the stuff I carry around on a daily basis. There's room for my camera, purse,
make-up bag, iPhone, sunglasses, pens, and an apple. Dig deeper and you would also
find more pens, loose change, my gym card and driver's licence, an orange, loads of
old receipts, and unsent Christmas cards (yes, really). There's plenty of space for a shorthand
notebook for when I'm working, gloves for when it's cold and sometimes it even contains
dog treats.
