Which handbag in your collection brings you the most joy?

[epistolic]

I’m curious! I know sometimes we buy handbags to fill certain functions or niches - a work bag, a laptop bag, a date bag, a casual weekend bag - but the bag we use the most might not always be the bag that tugs at our heartstrings the most.

So tell me - which handbag in your collection, whether you wear it out or not, brings you the most joy and why?

You didn't mention yours(?)!!!!


Mine: Gucci Bamboo Top Handles delirious level happiness, all of my Guccis make me happy actually, even my weekender. All my Hermes, even my Evie and all my BVs. TBH, I don't buy even a utility bag if it doesn't bring joy.

I know, this is not the most popular bag, and absolutely not the handy one, but for me it's my Jypsiere in Malchite.
For whatever reason, I never wanted a B, or K, it was always the Jypsiere. I saw it once and fell in love. I have also one in Etoupe and I really love it, but when I look at my green one, my heart beats. For me, it's such a perfect design

KG Kensigton XXL in Teal Soft Leather.
It sits on top of my bag shelf out of its dust bag together with her sibling in black&white tweed. I love the shape, size, quilted leather and especially the color. I have it out on display because it's so beautiful and I don't really have separate decorative items. My bags work well for decorative purposes.
I don't use the bag very often as I walk to work and for that I prefer a hand carry, crossbody or a backpack. Also it's not my first choice for running errands, for evening or nights out - I use it for the occasional outing but it's still one of my favorite bag purchases ever.

My Burberry small Banner bag. It was my dream bag, and I finally was able to get one a couple of months ago (it’s discontinued) at a great price. I can’t stop carrying it Every time I look at her, I smile.

I love my Gucci bags too! I don’t have many of them, but the ones I have I adore.

The bag that brings me the most joy is my Tom Ford-era Gucci Horsebit with purple racing stripes. I have a decent bag collection and this is by no means my most expensive or most frequently worn bag, but I think I love it the most because I’m a minimalist most of the time - I love sleek, elegant, under-the-radar bags and I dress in a similar way - but this little Horsebit? Is so different. It’s my only “maximalist” style handbag. I sought this one out on the preloved market and it’s still in fabulous condition. It’s a bag that has so much character to me, plus the Tom Ford history, and I just adore it. Every time I see it my chest squeezes a little in happiness!

This colour is so beautiful! I didn’t realise that malachite had such a lovely blue undertone.

DH bought me a Kensington, quilted leather bottle-holder, I use it everyday in the Summer.

I have the KG Quench bottle holder in the metallic rainbow color. I use it whenever my bag is so small it doesn't fit a bottle. I've been lusting after the black one as well!

I love this thread because I have been asked what my favorite handbag is and it's such a difficult question to answer. I can easily explain why I love just about each and every handbag I own. It could be that the color is just the perfect shade like Givenchy lavender Antigona lock, or bc the bag appears more a beautiful piece of art like Ferragamo year of the tiger Studio bag or Balmain sky print BBuzz, or the hardware is just striking like the blue suede Gucci blondie shoulder bag, or bc to many it's considered an iconic holy grail bag like the Prada fairy, or bc it's simply fun and kitschy like Balmain Barbie bag, or strikes up a memory like my daughter finally "approving" a bag purchase like Dior zodiac butterfly or bc the experience we had together when I purchased my first Bvlgari bag. But I think if I had to pick a top 3 "favorite" bags, it would be:

- Prada Spazzolato bag featured in opening scene of the movie the Devil Wears Prada (I personally consider this the "crown jewel" of my collection)

- My most recent purchase - Dior small Lady Dior in coeurs des papillon print - makes heart sing / feel most joyful

- Older black Prada Bauletto bag with debossed logo bc this was the OG bag that started it all for me. Definitely not one of my most interesting bags but was my favorite for years and is still one of my favorites!
