See, I used to be the anti-purse. I prided myself on carrying a wallet like a man, and nothing else. I didn't need anything else, darn it! That all ended when I started wearing reading glasses. Which begs the question, what do men do with their reading glasses? Where do they put them? (Yes, alright - inside pocket. Which means a jacket. I'm a girl. I don't wear jackets with inside pockets.) But I digress; where was I? Oh yes, purses.
When I finally realized I was, in fact, a woman, and did, contrary to all my quasi-militant tomboy tendencies, require a purse, I did not go out and sink precious housekeeping money into either a teensy-weensy bit of patent leather that wouldn't hold a pack of gum, or its monstrous cousin, the sack. I'm sure you've seen women walking around with the sack: a shapeless fabric bag stuffed so full it threatens to break the bearer's shoulder. It is distinctly unattractive and makes the bearer look like a hobo. No, when I finally caved, I bought a satchel.
Here: I love it so much I posted a picture. Seriously, ladies, within about five minutes this became My New Favourite. I've had it over a year now and I absolutely adore it. It's not too big, not too small, I can fit my wallet, chequebook, sunglasses and yes, those all-important reading glasses into it. It has handy separate zipped pockets so that smaller items such as keys and lipstick don't get lost; and best of all, my cellphone fits in the front latched pocket so I no longer have to dig for my cell when it rings. The leather is amazing quality, buffs up a treat with a bit of dubbin, and Roots will even replace, for free, any fittings such as zippers, etc. if they break. Now that's old-fashioned customer service.
