Bag it up!

For a while now Lester and I have been arguing over a handbag. Essentially I want to buy one, and he won't let me. I tell him, "its just a handbag... ", and he'll say "it's not just a handbag...".

I've been doing a lot of research on this particular model i like (or fell in love with), and it led to a slippery slope into the world of handbags. Now i tend to agree with Lester's statement, handbags are really not just handbags.... Of course this statement of his has been taken out of context through selective hearing.

It's like an art piece. It literally has value, you can hand it down to your children as dowry, or sell and pawn the bags (yes, even singapore accepts handbags at pawnshops these days). But instead of displaying it at home u carry it along with you so people can admire/enjoy it. It also does more than just "decorating" you, it carries ur wallet, your keys, your make-up pounch, and most of the time it acts like a deposit counter to ur boyfriends/husbands things.

For more information on handbags, there are a list of sites that people dedicate to HANDBAGS. No kidding... imagine writing an entire blog based on the latest launches of handbags, who is carrying what, care for bags, limited editions etc.

But this still bags the question, why do i need more than 1 expensive bag? I don't know any girl who doesn't know the answer, and any guy who does.
