Here are my black bags unchanged from last year. I plan on adding an Evelyne at some point, and in the much later future a vintage Hermes clutch. I don't have a clutch life at the moment, so no point in spending the $$$ to get one right now.

The Kelly was my first Hermes bag. She's a vintage 32cm Gulliver Kelly I won at an auction. I was amazed at the quality, then I was hooked. Then last year, after wanting to get a Birkin for over 20 years, I got one for a milestone birthday.

This my very first Designer bag, my pride and joy. I purchased this bag in my teens early 90s after saving up for 8 months working at Wendy's. She's in great shape, and I wear her often.

My L.K. Bennett leather clutch, I got this one and the suede version at great prices. The US website was closing. I wear both more often than I thought, they come with chain straps.

Last is my Shinola crossbody bag. I got this bag when Shinola opened their first boutique ever. It is nice to support (at the time) a small business. I use this for traveling, and concerts. I however need a crossbody thats a little more casual, roomier, so the Evelyne will fill the gap for that.

I was toying with the idea of adding a Chanel 226 re-issue, but the jury is out on that, i'll re-visit the idea later, if I feel I need to add one.

Left: Kuhn Fine Line (small German company that does classic handbags in nice quality) handbag in Kelly style. It´s a well made bag, but it does not work for me. Getting in and out of it drives me crazy!
Right: Mandarina Duck Hera top handle bag (90ies)

This is my personal idea of a versatile every day bag: huge doctor style bag from the 60ies. This one has gold hardware which means I haven´t been wearing it for a while, though. I´m sure there are very similar ones with silver hardware hiding in some other place... I had a phase of buying them...

Fabulous hardware on that doctor style bag!

That´s what I love so much about the 60ies doctor style bags (at least those of good quality!) : their hardware is not only pretty to look at, but sturdy, functional and extremely secure.
Carrying a bag like this you can be sure nobody will have their hands in your bag. The main clossure alone is reliable, but the two side locks make it unaccessible.
My spouse jokes that my heavy bags with their prominent hardware are a nice life insurance for tricky situations, too. One hit should be enough.
