Bag to use in winter Alaska?

[pinky7129]

Hello all!

I will be in Alaska during the freezing freezing cold at the end of dec/jan. I always have a purse, but I wasnt sure if my bags will be able to hold up and not crack.
Any advice what to use? Would my Coach crossbody survive and not get damaged?

TIA!

Your bag will be just fine.

Depending on where you're from, I guess Alaska can seem freaky cold. I'll just bet you that Minnesota* gets colder.

*Where I live, and I can tell you my bags survive just fine.

What kind of crossbody is it? Ditto the above, I wouldn't worry about purses but make sure to have a waterproof pair of boots. That's where most people underprepare.

It gets pretty icy in Finland as well, and all my bags have survived just fine no matter what has been raining down from the sky or what arctic breeze has been blowing from Siberia. Just make sure you yourself are packed in enough layers so that you don't freeze your tush.

My bags survived just fine when I lived in Illinois. Two of my contemporary designers bags cracked when I lived in Arizona though.

Coach will be fine.. i get cold here too the biggest problem i have is salt dunno how Alaska is about it but here they toss it about like you were dressing potato chips.

I find the soft leathers do very well, from pebble to other hand rubbed kinds.
