When I was single and lived in Manhattan, I walked, took the subway and my handbag was always on my shoulder, in my hand.
I now live a car lifestyle -- driving my kids to and fro their schools, activities, sports. I also drive to supermarket, etc.
When I am alone in the car, of course, I put my handbag on the empty front seat.
But usually, my kids are in the car, and I end up having to put my handbag on the floor next to my left foot.
My handbags get squished. Some are too big for that spot. I don't want to put them in the backseat...
Dear friends, where do you put your handbags in the car? Any thoughts, feelings to share?
On the passenger side floor. Leather's durable :) I'm not anal enough about my bags that I worry about them getting squashed or scuffed. Gives them character.
 
When I'm driving, it's in the back seat buckled up on a booster seat.

Just kidding!!!!!! But really, it's usually in the passenger seat or the back seat. It's RARELY on the floor.
 
I always throw it on the passenger seat, but if someone is sitting there then I toss it on the seat or the floor in the back. I'm not very anal about my bags unless it's white or a lighter color.
 
I always put my bag in the passenger seat up front. If someone's with me, then I put my bag in the backseat. I don't ever put one of my bags on the floor; I try to keep all of mine as clean as possible.
 
on the seat next to me while i am driving
if my passenger doesn't mind holding my bag for me it will be on her/his lap (lol)
or at the back seat if there's noone sitting there.
NEVER on the ground !! I treat my bag like a princess, regardless branded or unbranded i never put them on the ground!!!

i do the same for my friend's bag and they were really surprised that how much i care for a "handbag"...
 
When I purchased my pink bag, I bought a hand towel at Walmart! So I have the new towel on an older towel between my seats..So therefore if someone is in my passenger seat, my bag sits next to me on a towel, verses the floor. My fiance details our vehicles almost weekly, so I dont worry about it getting dirty...
 
I usually place it on the passenger seat or on the floor beside the middle console. i keep my car pretty clean so if it has to go on the floor, I don't worry about it so much. If I really love my bag though and there's someone in the passenger's seat, I put it on the backseat.
