The worst has happened. My purse is dying. It is on its last breath. The strap is almost to threads and the zipper won’t work. I’ve carried it for a whole year. For my purses, that’s like 12 years. But now, I want a new one. I’ve wanted a new one for quite a while, but I’m having the hardest time finding the perfect one! Why? Because I’ve become a purse snob. Not a brand snob, a requirement snob. If it doesn’t have everything I want, it is OUT!
It’s not that I want much, just a few things:
- A Crossbody design
- An adjustable strap
- A fun or neutral color
- Subtle hardware (no bright gold or silver)
- A classic/timeless look
and the most important part….the perfect size.
I don’t have a measurement, but can eye the size. My current (pathetic) purse is a great size, but it needs to be just a tad bigger.
Think about it. A woman’s purse is a REALLY important thing. You take it everywhere, it holds some of the most important things you need, and if you lost it, you wouldn’t know what to do. It can’t be to big or you’ll stuff it with things and it gets to heavy. If it is too little, you can’t fit all your necessities. It’s gotta be just the right thing.
I’m willing to spend some money on it. My max is $150. I plan to carry this thing for a LONG time. Thus, if I pay some money for it, it better last. I think that’s why I’m having such a hard time. Wish me luck!
What are your requirements for the perfect purse?
