I'm a satchel girl but have recently enjoyed the freedom of using a crossbody, so lightweight and easy.
Before I was really into big totes and shoulder bags, before realising that I put everything but the kitchen sink in them and as a result my neck and shoulder would start giving me bother. Now I gravate more towards smaller bags such as satchels or cross bodys.
I am drawn mostly to leather though I have quite a number of canvas bags as well. Now that I'm looking at my bag pictures I've noticed they're generally in the neutral shades. I have whites, blacks, tans and browns, blush pink, bronze, pewter and shades of reds. Though they're mostly the same colors they're in different styles- from totes to handbags to satchels. Each of them make me feel different due to their designs and prints. I only have 1 yellow tote, 1 teal tote/ satchel, a fuschia clutch/ crossboy and a purple crossbody. So, I noticed I stay away from really poppy colors though I love looking at them. I've been debating getting poppy colored handbags a lot of times but never really pulled the trigger on the bigger bags. I generally love big bags 😀
Well, not only am I drawn to a certain type of bag, I am drawn to the same bag. Over and over and over x 17.
I believe if you find something that works, the more the merrier!
So obviously I am drawn to a combo shoulder/handheld satchel.
(these all have chain shoulder straps, but I take it off when storing them and was too lazy to put all the chains on when I took the pic)
I am sooooo in love with your bags! It's pure bliss looking at them! I have a blush pink mini Stam and I love it! I just can't pull the trigger on buying another one. I have not bought the same handbag in a different color at all. But once I do pull the trigger, it would be another mini Stam! 😀 I love the blue or purple though knowing myself I may end up choosing a safe color in brown. I've seen the light gray irl. It's gorgeous! That's another color I've been dreaming of!
I'm a big fan of satchels, and with almost all clothing and accessories tend to prefer structured things to unstructured. But I also appreciate a good tote! My preference for all bags is to at least be able to shoulder carry with the top handles and then have an optional cross-body strap, because I like to be able to carry in my hand, in the crook of my arm, or throw a long strap over my shoulder (whether cross-body or not) if I need to.
The one bag I have multiples of (3) is the Kate Spade Bow Bridge Little Kennedy, and that bag looks very, very "me." The top handles are a little small, but I love those bags. I'm giving them a bit of a break at the moment as I carry a Coach Hallie tote most of the time for summer, and I doubt I will get more than the three I have, and I keep feeling more and more attractive to top flaps...now I'm worried I don't have such a go-to after all

Cross body styles. Nothing compares to these for me since I need my hands free for my three little kids. A close second is hobos.
I tend to go for casual styles. Prefer ones with a detachable cross body strap or adjustable straps so I can choose how to carry them.
And being pink is almost always a necessity!
