"Kids ride in the back. My purse is the passenger seat. If someone is sitting in the passenger then they have to hold it...lol"
ditto! I never put things on the ground in general, too dirty! The other day I was at Bloomies and I saw a woman with a white Gryson (about $800 I think), and it was filthy! Not in a "oops, got an ink stain on my bag" kind of way, but a worn-out grimy way. While we all know how hard it is to take care of a white bag, we don't walk outside the house with grimy white pants, so why walk out the door with a grimy white handbag? How we use our bags on a daily basis determines whether they look grimy or not, because no amount of care will make a bag look good if the bag is constanly being tossed around carelessly.
Anyways, sorry to get on such a soapbox about it. In general, I'm a bit fussy about dirt.
