how do you find your perfect purse??

Question

I'm 15 and i don't carry a purse.. i have some tiny Mudd messenger purses, but they seem childish to me now...

I've only carried a long glittery clutch to fancy occasions... with nothing but make up and cell phone.. and i don't even carry that around with me...

I see all my friends carry huge designer purses and carry it to all their classes.. and i'm like... you could fit a printer in them...??

so how can i find my perfect purse?? i have a nice squarish wallet.. that's it.. but i really want to have an average size purse.. to stash stuff like lotion.. or a sandwich...

what should i look for???

Answer 1

Shop for purses in a department store because they have tons to choose from and take a friend with you. After you find a few of the sizes your looking for, she can give you an honest opinion if it's right for you.
Happy shopping

Answer 2

to me the perfect purse is differnent to each person. I hate carrying a purse. And until I went to college I really didn't carry one. Even through college I only carried one when I was away from school. I usually just carried my wallet and keys in my book bag during college. ONly until I graduated did I really need to carry my bag.

I don't have a lot of stuff that I usually carry with me, so I err on the smaller side. i need something big enough to carry my wallet, checkbook, cell phone, lipgloss, mirror, keys and small lotion. I think my bag is approximately 10 1/4" long, by 6 1/8" H and about 3 3/4" wide. It is a coach sogo signature flap. though I also have another one from there that is slightly smaller called the Rambler's legacy.

When shopping for a purse, I will seriously put my stuff in it on the spot to check if it will hold everything.

Your opinion is the only one that matters ultimately.

There is really no way to find your perfect purse other than cheking out some stores and seeing what you like. Some great place to look include Macy's, TJMax, and even Old Navy has some cute ones. Depending on your personality you can find something thats practical, glam, trendy, or a combination. Prices are reasonable at these stores but if your looking for something more designer coach is always a great choice.

Answer 4

I always put the purse over my shoulder and look in the mirror (full length) If it hangs right and it looks good on my shoulder, it is a keeper. I always seem to gravitate towards small purses, but I carry to much stuff, so I end up with a bigger bag.

p.s. I love coach purses....check out their website coach.com, I'm sure you'll find your dream purse!

Answer 5

I love large purses. You can carry so much stuff. Girls need to be prepared for anything. I would defitely check out some discount stores. You can get some awesome purses for good prices. Besides you want more than one right? Go shopping and look at yourself with the bag. Does the bag have your name written all over it? (metaphor) Thats when you know you have the right one.

Answer 6

I'm 40 and I'm still looking for the perfect purse, sweetie! I think us women will always be in the hunt for "the perfect bag". Well, what you should think about is what will you put inside your bag (a wallet, papers, cellphone, ipod/mp3). Do you prefer to carry your bag on your shoulders, across your shoulders (messenger bag style or hands free), hands carry only. Also, do you like to have your handbag made of leather or fabric?

Here are some bag styles appropriate for your age (just to give you some ideas only...don't look at the price or brand name...only look at the shape and see if that is a bag style you would be happy carrying)

It's really hard to find the perfect purse. It depends on your taste and what is available to you, as well as how much you can pay. Shop around all you can before you make a decision. I hope you can get the one you really want - if you settle for less, you'll keep thinking about that one.
