I saw this type of thread in premier designer subforums, but not here, maybe discussed much before than I can find now. What is your favorite and most comfortable bag/wallet to pick up and go out of the door?
When in a hurry, what is your grab and go bag/wallet??

I think everyone needs at least one grab and go, no thought required bag, and maybe SLGs too

Even with so many other lovely bags to pick from I usually grab my small crossbody Kipling if I need to get moving fast and just go someplace.
My 'wallet' is a Chanel o-case, always.

Givenchy Mini Pandora. It's small, so my wallet won't fit (I prefer full-size wallets), instead I just grab my Coach cardholder with all the main cards I use and some cash in the middle zipped compartment.
I don't really have a grab-and-go SLG. I just rotate my SLGs and stick to one at every rotation.
I rotate SLGs probably 1-2 times each season.
I use my YSL card holders 95% of the time. 5% of the time I may switch to a wallet if I decide to carry cash, but I rarely do that nowadays.

My grab and go usually is a medium bag I can just throw everything into and get going. Coach Field tote 30 and Cassie have been one of my favorites lately. And by lately, I mean, for as long as I've owned the 2.
For quick outings like running to the corner store I will throw a couple of cards, phone and my key holder into a Coach Nolita 19 or Vintage Penny which are both out for display (so they are easy to get to without the fuss of taking off a dustbag & filling and attaching a strap).
Anywhere further than the corner store and it's either a long walk or a bus ride so I need more stuff. That's when a bigger bag comes into play. I do love my LV 6 ring key holder as it can hold my bus card and a debit card but then there's my phone that I don't like carrying in my hand. So a bag it is.

Uniqlo round mini shoulder bag
Lululemon everywhere belt bag
For wallet, I've been using a $5 leather zipped pouch from a random stall in a market - for several years and counting!

Love the relaxed leather of Givenchy Mini Pandora. It looks so comfortable to carry causally. I love full-sized wallets myself too.
Love your bag choices.
You are right, the ones that are out of their storage, get most uses. Most of my bags/wallets are in storage, and I keep using only one that is outside.
Yepp, the no-name leather SLGs serve good and for longer usually. I have been using one too.
Yes, the leather is sooo lovely. I found it very user-friendly, very easy to get into.
