My Kate Spade cross body bag that I got 6 years ago. It’s my most used and most beat up bag. It’s black leather and I just wipe it with alcohol wipe every week. I don’t really care about it and I already have my eyes on a replacement bag as soon as covid ends.
 
No bag for the most part. Have just been putting a card holder and phone in one pocket and my keys in the other. On the couple of occasions that I have carried a bag during this time, it's been a red epi type leather Longchamp tote that stands up nicely if I have to set it down. I usually have left it in the car for a few days once I am home. I really think it has only been the two times so far.

I have taken bags out and left them out for admiration. That's it for now.
 
My staple bag during these times is actually a purchase I made at the boutique in March (before things got really serious) to be used as a work bag, which is the Coach Prairie Satchel in black with GHW. I love how functional and lightweight it is, plus it's the perfect medium size for me. It's my first Coach purchase and so far, so good.

Is the Prairie retail? I found one in my outlet in Ottawa in the 70% off section and bought it, because the design and pebble leather is easier to care with my kids, anyway I was admiring it and the SA told me the Prairie line is an outlet line not retail hence it was in the 70% off since retail in Outlet only goes to 50% off, which I don't care, because it so pretty, Nd I paid $110 cad after taxes. But yeah I thought they were outlet bags
 
I’m not carrying any of my bags... if I go out I either carry a mini puma backpack, or a see through crossbody PVC bag. I can put my phone in outer pocket and since it’s clear I can still use the touch screen when the phone is in the zippered pocket without having to touch my phone. Any apps/reward cards etc I need to use I can usually use with my Apple Watch so together I really hardly ever have to touch my phone. Now if only I could load my CC on my watch to use when paying...
wow this is so smart! do you have a photo or link of the bag?
 
My Lenovo backpack that came with my work laptop. :cool: I usually do not take work home but due to covid19 I need to have my laptop at home. So no luxury bags for me. Usually on free time I have everything in my pockets.
 
I hang my bag up so I can stare at it lovingly during the day. View attachment 4754403

I have a bunch of my bags hung up, too, that I can see when I wake up in the morning, lol!

I've been carrying the same vinyl tote I got from Target accessorized with Coach cherry charm and Purell container :P

I used to match my bag to my outfit but I would say that fashionable outfits are not happening for me right now...

Kipling crossbody or Longchamp LP LLH. These days I hang hand sanitizer on my bag for easy access, so I only use bags that I won’t freak out if I accidentally spill hand sanitizer on them.
I posted on the Hunter leather thread how a few drops of hand sanitizer on the leather permanently removed the colour from my sellier evelyn. Although I wiped it off immediately with a Kleenex and then a baby wipe it left a mark. This leather had been very resistant to marking in every other way. Everyone be careful with your hand sanitizer. :smile:

You should be able to add your CC to Apple Pay so you can use it on your watch.

Ouch, I’m so sorry about your evelyne. Can hermes do something to fix it?
