Default The Restroom Story
So today I decided to wear my Galliera out and about town for the first time. I need to go to JC Penney to check and see if they had marked down this hanging collage jewelry box thing. Meanwhile, my mom and I are walking around and then I have the urge to use the restoom. So as I walk in a stall I am horrified by paper towels on the floor complimented with saniatary napkin wraps and such. I go to hang my purse on the little hanger and I panic. Its just so gross. So, lke any purse lover would i used the restroom with my new Galliera on my knees lol. I know thats a little extreme but I didnt want any germs getting on my new bag and it was just horrible in there. Has anyone else went to extreme measures to protect their bag from the unsanitary restrooms?

Oh I love this-so cute. I don't blame you. I would have made my mom watch my bag. Or tried to hold it.

Yes, I have done the same thing. However, there has been a time or two when I did have to place my bag on the floor.

not in restrooms, lol, but I have bought a purse hook- I hang it off the table at restaurants, and that way my purse doesn't have to touch the floor!

I go to great lengths to protect my LV bags, even doing what you did. LOL Although, I've never tried hanging the bag around my neck, I would consider this tactic too.

Oh man are you kidding me....OF COURSE! I have mastered the art of keeping it on my shoulder while squating to make sure it doesn't touch a thing and if I have packages I balance them in my other hand! (way to much info huh)

LOL, it's so difficult to 'go' when I put my bag on my lap (I tend to carry large bags)

I always put my purse on the hanger, but then I always use baby wipes to clean the side after.

Yes I have done the same stuff, well I haven't tried hanging it on my neck before, but that's a really good idea. Most of the time when I go out, there's someone with me, so they'll usually hold me bag while I do my business.

A $2000 LV bag or a $20 Target bag--none should be exposed to those conditions. And, as for me it has to be a serious potty emergency to get me in one!

LMAO at the girls hanging them around their necks. I actually never thought of this, but it sounds like a good tactic. I usually put it on the stroller or wear it on my shoulder.
