How often do you change bags?

[sare_bear320]

i switch once every week or two. i'm simply too lazy to switch all of my stuff over. if it was like 1 min ordeal i'd switch daily. i actually feel bad that i have so many bags that go unused

oh u really need to get this chameleon insert!
it will change your life forever!!
ok, so not that dramatically saying of course, but heck it changes my life indeed!
not just speaking of coach bags, but other old totes, non-branded bags that i have, it's like giving them life all over again!
it really is fun!

I also go through phases and sometimes I switch daily and sometimes I'll carry the same one for a while. I find that when I start using my fave bags, like the Gigi or Julianne, I really don't want to switch out of them. I really need one of those inserts to make switching easier

ITA! I love my CBO (Cherry Brand Organizer) and I switched from my Large Zoe to my LV-GM Neverfull in a snap! I may switch to my factory legacy slimtote tomorrow. That's one of the things I don't switch too often--my CBO--except if I am switching up or down in size and I have 3 sizes and colours. It's basically a parallel movement of stuff from one CBO to another. The only thing is that it gets tighter when I am going down in size.

Mind you, I am kinda stuck on large bags and have to start using my medium bags (which IMHO are tiny-eeeeeeeee!).

sorry..
i think i'm acting like a child..
it's like i found a new toy to play with everyday!

 

[jelita78]

oh t-girl!
i have the chameleon insert in large and when i changed to smaller size bag, i just remove the bottom flat piece and sort of crunch it to smaller size!
it fits smaller bags too!!

That's great, Jelita78, that you can reshape your organizer. Mine are pretty much built like 'tool pouches' but I love how well they hold everything I need. My favourite, of course, is the large size in Cherry because it matches perfectly with the Damier cherry red lining. I can't live without my CBO from hereon. I use the large black for my large Carly, chocolate large Zoe, and my black XL Zoe. I've got the small, medium, and large in cherry red, black, and grey.

i got mine here > Chameleon inserts
http://www.chameleoninserts.com/



this is from the website pics..

i flipped the insert so that the pencil holder slots are on the inside part of the insert and the zipper compartments on the outside..
it seems much neat, imo..

I tried to switch bag daily before and I got tired. I changed purse once a week now. I just plan the clothes I wear for that week. And Oh I love my chameleon insert too. It makes changing purses soooo much faster.

I will have to get an insert also! But does it cover up the pretty legacy linings of your bags??

I am too lazy to change daily - I usually go in spurts and carry a bag for a few weeks before switching around!

i switch when i feel like might carry the same bag for a month or so then switch then i might switch 3 times the following wk. depends on my clothes, the weather, where im going etc

In New York we say..."you do, YOU!" Just do what you want and if someone else frowns upon me I would say SCR*W them..Sorry my New Yorker is coming out.

I personally might be jealous a little because I would LOVE to change bags everyday but I just can't afford it BUT I know I can't be that jealous or upset because If I could I totally would change my bag everyday. lol

I usually switch bags when I get bored..or when the seasons change.

I switch everyday and my friends and co-workers love to see what I'm carrying next. They appear to get bored if they see me carry the same bag two days in a row.

I don't know if I am flippant or snobby, but I just get bored carrying the same bag the next day. For me, it's like wearing the same pair of socks the following day without laundering it. I usually like to keep the bag I've just worn unbagged overnight so it could 'breathe' after all that lugging around I did the previous day. Then, I take the bag and store it away--make sure it's not dirty, scratched, or contains anything (like candy) inside the pockets I will regret later on. I then rack my brain and choose what size/colour/style bag I want--do I want black/siggy/large or pink/HS/medium?

Goodness, T-Girl!! Are you me? I do the whole one night breathing and then put it away nice and clean! Same situation with the co-workers, they'd always look forward to which bag, shoes and glasses I was wearing that day!!!

My thing is "So many bags, so little time!"

Hope that helps!

I also read somewhere (don't exactly recall) that it's great inside a LV Speedy to reduce the fugly slouching. (I dislike slouches in the wrong places--IMHO on the LV Speedy, the slouch looks like a deflated bladder). It keeps the nice boxy shape. Also, it greatly helps to organize the stuff inside the LV too so there is no hunting and pecking about.
